LotG +Rchg question

As I plan my next build in Mids, I noticed that the +7.5% recharge bonus from LoTG IOs didn't seem to conflict with +7.5% recharge bonus from sets. Is that correct, or an error in Mids? Can I actually slot 5 +7.5% sets and 5 LotG's without hitting the cap? Thanks for all the help, everyone!

The rule of 5 says that you can only have 5 of the same name bonus. Fortunately the Luck of the gambler is specifically named "Luck of the Gambler 7.5% Recharge Bonus". so it doesn't conflict with, say the basilisk's gaze and it's "7.5% recharge bonus".

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

That's what I was hoping for. Thank you! Now, off to plan out my build!

This is correct. Set bonuses are actually just auto powers applied to the player, which are tagged to allow no more than 5 copies (in theory, individual set bonuses could be tailored to a different max -- in practice, none are, because that would just make things WAY too confusing). The power applied by actual set bonuses is [Huge Improved Recharge Time Bonus]. The last piece of the Luck of the Gambler set, however, grants the power [Luck of the Gambler: Recharge Speed]. Each of the two powers caps at 5, separately.

Now, if it were only possible to get 5 holds/taunts, and 5 defensive powers on one character without gimping yourself.

Well an ill / rad can get four Hold powers (Blind, Flash, Choking Cloud, EM Pulse) and five defensive powers (Superior Invisibility, Group Invisibility, Travel Pre-Requirement, Maneuvers, Vengeance) without getting gimped. I'm not sure which power sets would be best to get five holds.

Just add Presence Pool for a Taunt on top of the 4 Holds.
