So i recently bought the Crushing Impact IO set for melee damage, and the (5)th IO gives a +5 recharge bonus to all power. after slotting it i was excited to see it work. however, after i slotted two more of these sets *at once* i noticed the set bonus for (2)-(4) worked properly and the (5)th did not. i received no +5 recharge bonus to my moves and am quite angry. can anyone help me on this topic, i don't understand why it didn't give me the bonus..

You can only get 5 of the same type bonus total (there are some exceptions like the 7.5% from LotG stacking with other 7.5% bonuses).

If you got 4 bonuses from Crushing Impact and also have a set of Red Fortune slotted (which also gives 5% recharge bonuses) slotted that is 5 total 5% bonuses another Crushing impact won't give you anything extra as you will all ready have hit the cap from the rule of 5.

You can potentially get:
5x5%
5x6.25% (Decimation, Positron's Blast, some others)
5x7.5% (the only one I can think of is Manticore)
5x "Luck of the Gambler" 7.5% (same bonus, different name)
And many purple sets give 10% each, for another 5x10% possible.

By the way, if I remember you need about 90% for perma-hasten. Before ED, you used to be able to do it with five "+2" SOs, I think, which is 167% x 1.1 or 183%.

Basilik's Gaze (hold) and Kinetic Crash (kb) are two popular sets that also give this bonus. Mocking Beratement does too, but taunt sets aren't as commonly used, especially for non-melee types.

Hasten lasts 120 seconds and recharges in 450. To get the 450 duration down to 120, you have to divide by 3.75.
The formula is (original time) / (1 + recharge) = resulting time

So 'recharge' has to be 2.75 (or 275%). This figure includes the enhancement slotted in Hasten, plus the effect of Hasten itself.
You can enhance for 95+ %.
Hasten is 70%.
So you need between 105 and 110%, depending on your exact enhancement value in Hasten.

If you set your power display to show your total recharge, it has to hit 275% minus the amount of enhancement in Hasten (since that is not included in the displayed figure).

Well, I've been wrong before and I will be again. Thanks for doing the Actual Math [tm].
