LotG +Recharge?

According to Mids this doesn't stack over five (like set bonuses) but I understood as it was an IO bonus and not a set bonus it would. Is this a special case or is Mids wrong?

It gives the bonus for all your powers, and I'm surprised it still possible to use more than one, unlike Numinas and the other special ones. Happy, but surprised. Like all bonuses, you can have a max amount of five of the same type. ...and it does show up on the bonus list doesn't it?

f.x. you can only have +12% regen on five sets, if you have a 6th that gives +10% that doesn't count.

..but just in case: Have you checked your "real" numbers - or haven't you dared to slot a 6th? Nothing is true until tested and re-tested!

I can't afford one let alone six.

I thought the rule of five only applied to set bonuses not to the actual IOs.

Pure theory crafting for me.

The rule of 5 applies to every bonus available. The advantage of the lotg +recharge IO though is while you can only have 5 of them, you can also have 5x 7.5% recharge set bonuses from set's like kinetic crash and sting of the manticore.

Of course the 6th +10% regen will count, you only have one 10% bonus.

As stated does not stack past 5.
I have the full 5 in my DM/SR and love it, BUT unless you have buckets of inf or are working towards something, 110mil each is not worth it.
