If you've been using just the common or uncommon up until now, you'd notice a significant increase to its recharge time if you took out that IO.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Quaver do you have Tactics? Do you PvP? If the answers are, respectively, "yes" and "no" then the +Perception IO won't do anything for you.
Global = Hedgefund (or some derivation thereof)
I do not have Tactics and rarely PvP, I can't post my build atm as I'm on my phone. I have around 50% global accuracy and plenty of accuracy slotting, I only seem to use yellows against spiders and their blinding.

Kin/Sonic is probably one of the combinations that gets the least benefit from power build up, since you don't really need the additional damage buff. However, build up should enhance the heal in transfusion, the end drain in transference, the slow in siphon power, and the stun duration of screech and sleep duration of siren's song. As a +Accuracy power as you seem to be saying that you've been using, it's actually pretty weak only offering +10% to-hit (although it will provide a 100% bonus to any +to-hit bonuses you provide such as tactics, fortitude, etc.).|

Also I'm guessing the +perception is a constant and not only happening after I click power build-up? I barely use the power really, taken as a pre-req for Total Focus/Force of Nature.

The question about tactics wasn't regarding your to-hit but rather because tactics also provides +perception that is sufficient to see everything in the PvE game. The only situation where the +perception would be helpful beyond tacticcs would be to see through players with stacked stealth in PvP.
Since you don't have many powers that would benefit from power build up, aren't using power build up, and don't have tactics for +perception, I say put the Recticle in there. You were correct that it is a global IO and therefore in effect even when you have not activated power.
