Also- it's far more frustrating waiting for 50 to start on the perma-route. +Rech sets are often high-demand, and trying to get them in a short period will mean paying high prices often times. It's far better to plan ahead, set some lower bids a long time in advance, and patiently wait for them to fill.
As far as IO sets go- bonuses (with the exception of permanent ones) don't exemplar dawn past 5 levels, so it's handy to slot non-purples in the 32-35 range. You'll then get to enjoy your bonuses for many a SF/TF, and still have decent enhancement values. The 32-35 range is tricky at times, so these are another case of 'bid ahead.'
Sweet tips, thanks. I plan on using purples, of course. But I will start the bidding process now, and have everything filled over the next couple weeks. Also, thanks for the reminder on the 5 level thing, as that is very important. Do set bonuses still work (I should know this, but am tired, and lazy), or do they stop working as the enhancers do? Delicate balance there, definitely.
This will change my end curve considerably, with a full bar popping regular, and since I am running a mind/psi it looks like I can drop the fitness pool completely. Yeah! More cool powers.
Io's and bonuses never go OLD, they just don't exemplar down.
So a level 32 set is still good at 50...but a 50 set only enhances, no bonuses, at level 32.
Also, it doesn't hurt to start your purple bids too, should you have the capitol. That was you can patiently snag the lower end bids, rather than ponying up the weekend high prices.
One more note: if you're going for +recharge, you will certainly encounter luck of the gambler: +rech. The +recharge is an enhancement that functions like a global BONUS, so if you can snag it @ level 25, it'll be good for a long time. (The bonus doesn't change, so the earlier on that the better.) Note: These are easy to get if you do tip missions, and reinforce your morality. Villains that choose to be villainous (rather than rogue) get a villain merit, good for one rare of the level of their choosing, heroes same. Also, villain/hero merits can be purchased by 'pure' villains/heroes for 20 mil+50 merits. Villains/heroes will find these things in in the crucible/fort trident off of cap/?? As you used to have to pay 250ish merits for a level 25 LotG+rech, this is actually pretty good.
Another reason to start early on sets is simply that your +recharge makes you defense (controls) more available, so even if you're not at perma-dom soon, you'll still get your AoE mez up faster. Plus the limited Assault powers flow better with recharge.
Yes, I will get LOTGs. My main (a brute) has around 1,300 merits saved (never used them) from soloing all red content and lotsa SF. So that will get me those.
By stop working I actually meant in the other direction, going downwards. So, at level 44, a level 50 I/O (non-purple) no longer enhances. But if I had a set of them, would their set bonuses (including global rech) still count at level 44, or 30?

Sorry, to clarify what I meant by 'never get old' was that anything above the IO level will be good. So if you have a level 15 set with its bonuses, even at level 50 you still have full enhancements and bonuses. It's just the reverse that'll give your bonuses trouble. This is why all my doms have 32 IO's except for purples...I just do a lot of SF's, flashbacks, etc, so I have the same bonuses at level 29 as I do at 50.

Set bonuses only work three levels below the enhancement level(except for purples). Meaning if all your enhancements are level 50, you lose the set bonus if you exemplar to level 46 or below.

Doh! sorry, my bad. Yes, it's 3, not 5. I got confuzzled as 5 is the other exemplar magic number, the power access one. So yes, IO bonuses stop working when you exemplar more than 3 levels below, hence why I had level 32 IO's to do my level 29 arc flashbacks.

Okay, more questions. I've gotten up to 31 (would be higher, but BM and crafting is taking time.)
I am at around 60% recharge now. What is the rech % needed for Permadom?
Also, does the 7.5% from LOTG (max 5) count against the other 7.5% like Basilisk's gaze? or is there 5 non LOTG @ 7.5% plus 5 LOTG @ 7.5%?
Thanks, and cyas in the cities.
If I recall correctly the bare minumium is 80% rech + hasten. Once your over that it is just added sweetness.

Correct but it isn't "comfy". If you don't want to worry over juggling domination and hasten button shoot for 95% add hasten. So a total of 95% plus the 70% from hasten = 165% total.
Pvp io set bonuses act as purple sets as well. Meaning you can slot those types of sets in upper level powers and still retain their bonuses when exempted below the rule of three levels to which regular sets adhere.
I'm pretty sure my post info is correct but I may have missed a change or three while playing other games.
I was pretty comfortable with ~145% recharge with Hasten, presonally. But it did require me to pay attention to when Domination was blinking, so I knew to queue it so it wouldn't drop.
My Plant/Earth is at 168% recharge and it has much more room for error than ~145% did.

LoTGs do not count against other 7.5% recharge bonuses. So you can have up to 5 of each, it's really great. My Ill/rad controller has 4 LoTGs and 2 bask gaze, and gets all six 7.5% bonuses.

One other important detail, when malefed set bonuses are still available even if the power isn't.
For instance if you slot a level 22 Malaise's set in Mass Confusion, you will still get the 6.25% bonus at level 19 even though the power itself isn't available.
My main has about 90% recharge at level 19 thanks to this little detail. Of course, getting stuff at that level can be quite tricky.
I am planning on making my current character Perma Dom when I hit 50. Since I have never had a Perma Dom I have one question. When you reactivate Dom, each time you do, does that fill your End bar each time, or just the very first time?
