I ran one once with a ton of purps on it and other recharge goodies, but no hasten. Think I was hovering around 120% global. Which is silly, but I enjoyed the toon. SS/Will is strange in that recharge does nothing for Will, but as you pointed out it is very wise to double stack rage. Also, rech brings those fat attack chains up. Thats all I got. GL.
You can stack Rage, but everytime one crashes, your dmg is crashed. The reason you stack 'em is higher dmg when they're running. And for a bit, you have 3x, not double.

MOST amazing Brute engineer goes to: Ultrawatt. His SS/Fire farm build is SMASH!
Congrats to Black Assassin! Won 100,000,000 INF for building most survivable NRG/NRG Blaster

You most certainly can. I tend to only double stack rage for a few seconds (to negate the defense penalty) regardless of whatever recharge values I might have because the end crash and 10 seconds of no damage drives me absolutely crazy.|

Not saying hasten / foot stomp isn't a lot of fun to mess with but I've never been very fond of juggling both the hasten and rage toggles. [edit] Wish I could edit the title, oy |
Are you going to get the most optimal attack chain without it? Probably not, but the chain you get will be more than good enough for anything regular play throws at you.
Weight training: Because you'll never hear someone lament "If only I were weaker, I could have saved them."
I run it. I love it. You CAN run SS/WP w/o Hasten, but you really should have it. Sooo much better w/ it. It's the same premise that every blaster. EVERY BLASTER should have hasten. It makes your chain really good instead of decent.
Tourettes.
PS my SS/WP tank has been my favorite character for a long time.

You can hit the single-target animation cap without Hasten, so whether or not you have it would depend on if you mind juggling the extra clickie (and spending the extra power +slots) to have Footstomp and Fireball up a second sooner.
