There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
And in getting Perma-hasten, I'd have aquired a hasten and a half's worth of +recharge. Urging me to ask, why did I want Hasten again?

Usually, Perma Hasten is a means to an end, rather than the end itself.

Perma Hasten is necessary to get: Perma Domination, Perma Dull Pain and Perma a-few-other-things.

Perma Dom can be achieved without Permahasten. 70% recharge from IO and 3 to 6 slotted hasten is the beginning of Permadom, or Permadom 1.
90% recharge from IO sets and 6 slotted hasten is permdom and permhasten. This is Ascended Permadom or Permadom 2.
125% recharge from IO sets = permadom hasten not required. Super Permadom 3.

Some archetypes and primary/secondary/pool combinations are more easily able to obtain these sets than others. Very rare 'purple' IO sets give the largest 10% recharge IO set bonus value and the Luck of the Gambler +recharge gives the largest 7.5% single IO bonus value. For some archetype/primary/secondary/pool builds this is easily obtainable, for other builds without many options for purple sets or defense powers for slotting the LotG's it may not even be possible.
I would advise the OP not to be too obsessed with achieving perma-hasten at the cost of gimping the character's build to the point where it is either counterproductive or drastically alters the character's strengths and your play style. More often than not, just having a solid global recharge rate without perma-hasten along with solid bonuses in other key areas (like defense) is more than good enough.

Perma Hasten can also be slighly over rated. My main villain has about 10 seconds of Hasten downtime and it's barely even noticable.

Well the toon I have almost perma-hasten it is only down for 5 sec I need it to run the attack chain I want to. If I didn't have Hasten I couldn't run the attack chain.
Perma-Hasten is actually counterproductive for some builds, like Super Strength characters with their rage crash. It's also relatively pointless for some builds, like toggle heavy bubble defenders.
I find that around 90-100% recharge I start to feel like I don't need any extra. On a full team I can usually rely on one of my teammates to provide SB, AM, etc to push me to perma.
The issue is that pushing past about 100% you start having to either buy purple sets and LotGs or select @#$% powers and slot them with snipe and KB sets for big bonuses. You can get 93.75% recharge with 5 sets each of 5%, 6.25%, and 7.5%. That represents 15 powers, at least 60 slots, and probably a few build compromises to get all the 7.5% bonuses.
For most characters to reach 100% without big build compromises, they'll need 2-3 LotG or 2-3 sets of purples. Why 2-3 sets? Most purples replace existing 6.25% bonuses, so they're really a 3.75% increase.
I always leave it on auto - one less thing to babysit. I've actually got a macro on Brawl that toggles autohasten, toggles autorage, and brawls.
You're both wrong... it's Rain of Arrows, Rain of Arrows, Rain of Arrows!

Just to add to what perwira said. You can always have a place for 7.5%'s if you place a couple in a stealth pool power. It allows def sets. So every AT is able to at least get those.
With my wifes blaster i wanted inferno up as fast as possible. I got hasten, slotted powers with Posi's and Deci's for rech, and went stealth pools. I got stealth, invisi, and phase shift to place a lotg 7.5% in each one. When farming with my friends, my inferno is up every 3 mobs with 1 shot of SB. Not sure of actual numbers of minutes but it sure feels fast.
How do you do it? How much Recharge is needed? I'd like to try it on at least one of my characters.
Thanks.
Travel Suppression is this game's worst feature, well that and MetaHumans riding mass transit like tourists at DisneyLand.
