2 recharge SO's are enough to make it perma. I usually add 1 endrdx
Ta. Is it perma with quickness or without?
Mmmm, I would say it's with quickness but I don't know for sure since at the time to get SO's at lvl 22, I usually choose quickness and I honestly don't remember if it is perma with DO's. If you are planning 3 slots, 2 rchg 1 endrdx, maybe would be good idea to use 3 rchg DO's until you get quickness at 22 so you can change the 3rd recharge for an endrdx.
May be perma without quickness by using IO's, but I honestly couldn't say for certain.
I believe 2 SOs are enough, but Flitz has 3 so it is double stacked about half the time. He does have quickness though. I put 3 in when I when I was still running DOs and never bothered to respec one out. I basically never have to worry about status effects (although have occasionally been feared in PvP).

VIGILANCE Captain Caledonia 20 - Yeah, I made toons on the French server coz we only had 4 back then (might have to transfer/recreate them on one of the US servers)
..and many more!
I like 3 SOs in mine, for both the double stack and for -recharge groups. Its also nice for when you're in an attack chain and dont want to break it. Gives you warning that its running out soon but you've still got status protection for a while so can carry one hitting

Two green SOs I believe. It doesnt need much delay though to fail so I think im gonna go with 3 on my stalker (kuji in rin) for instance.
With 2 SOs it is just about equal, so if you are attacking you will be unprotected for a while.
With quickness and 2 SOs there is a margin of error, about 12 seconds, so it is safe.
With Hasten, no Quickness and 1 SO in PB, assuming you are having the 70 second Hasten downtime during the PB during, you have 8 seconds of overlap.
With Hasten, Quickness and 1 SO in PB, assuming you are having the 70 second Hasten downtime during the PB during, you have 32 seconds of overlap.
In fact with 1 SO, Quickness and 1 SO in PB, you would only need Hasten up for 20 seconds of the 120 seconds to be safe. I'm not sure that's reliable enough to remove the second slot from Practiced Brawler on my Scrapper though, especially as you can only have one power on autofire.
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
I only bother with 2, even if you're attacking all-out you're unlikely to get mezzed.

Remember if you are getting hit with -recharge attacks like ice or psi, your recharge is getting worse and brawler will more likely fail..
I have my PB 2slotted with RchgRedux
Along with Hasten (3slotted RchgRedux) and Quickness (3slotted..although can't remember what with...not been able to get onto CoH since early April :'( ), you should be able to stack it 3times (pre-mez affects).

Yup, mine overlaps almost all the time, Ice Thorns have been known to make it only just perma though

3 x recharge 1 x end redux here with quickness. And I have it on auto
I love it double stacked, especially when going against some enemies like CoT bosses and carnies. Makes life that much easier
Hi,
Got a quick question about Practiced Brawler. Would it be better to 3 slot it for recharge and 1 end redux or 2 slot recharge and 1 end redux?
I will be getting quickness later on in the build, but im not sure if 2 recharge is good enough or not. I dont intend on PVP.. jut PVE if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance
