little math help for this stone/dark brute

Hi all out there, I started a stone/dark brute knowing that I was in for some tricky work with end. I am planning my build out but I am a little confused on the math and was just looking to confirm my thinking. At first I was frankenslotting every thing to get as much recovery as possible. The Question I have is lets say I pot in some purples to get a 4% recovery which is listed at 0.07 end/per sec and my power recharges in say 6 sec. Is it correct that i just multiple the numbers 0.07 X 6 so i would recover .42 End by the time the power recharges. If so the would I not do better at useing more End Reduction on a power instead of high cost recovery ones. Thank you for your help.


Thank you for all your help

Don't think it works that way.
That 4% should be added on to your overall recovery rate.

If it is giving you 0.07 EPS then yes, you'll recover 0.42 MORE endurance while it is recharging than you would have otherwise. For the purposes of an individual power, the direct enhancement will always superior to the effects of set bonuses. The idea behind set bonuses is that you'll have the set bonuses from 24? powers affecting your entire character, and that can well exceed some enhancement values you'd see from one power.

For endurance purposes, it's best to aim for invention sets that grant endurance or recovery bonuses and slot the enhancements that don't sacrifice things like accuracy and endurance reduction. If you can't get decent enhancement values out of your set, wait on using that IO set until you can enhance the power properly.
