Posi, Decimentation, and Expedient all offer recharges of 6.25%, so only the first 5 enhancement sets provide a buff.
The only exception to the no more than 5 is the 7.5% recharge. The 7.5% recharge from the Luck of the Gambler proc and the 7.5% IO set buffs are not the same buffs.
So you can have 5 LoTG procs and 5 Kinectic Crashes and receive full recharge benefits from both.
So are you saying *any* set with a 6.25% +recharge counts towards the only-5-sets rule? So if I want more +recharge on this toon I have to get it with sets that have 5% or 3.75%, or something else?
That's a lot more arcane and baffling than I thought - I've never been able to afford decent sets before, so I haven't really understood how IO set bonuses worked. Bummer. Two nearly complete sets of IOs that are useless to me. I hope I can salvage them with a respec and sell them for something...
