I think I only have it on one character, actually, and that's a specific "how hard can I break storm with recharge abuse?" build combining it with the FF +recharge procs in Water Blast powers. It turns out the answer is pretty hard.

 

While a bit of recharge is nice, I don't include Hasten on any "serious" builds. It's just rarely necessary and recharge abuse takes out a lot of the game's challenge.

What hasten-less builds do you have that you enjoy and play regularly?

 

 

I find myself really only reaching for Hasten on characters dedicated to DPS, as it is often necessary to smooth out attack chains using only later (higher-level) attacks... and for me, the practical effect is really only with large spawns (I want the AoEs up) or for single hard targets. If a build will have lower level attacks that can fill-in and finish off a boss (after a big single-target hit), there is no practical difference between attack chains that require two attacks to finish off a critter. GM/AV are another matter of course.

 

I have a ranged-damage/control hybrid Fortunata that does not include Hasten and there is almost no noticeable difference in play style. The only real difference is that Mind Link (and Hasten) would be "perma".  It doesn't improve solo times for clearing maps.

 

My favorite Mastermind (Robotics/Traps) doesn't include Hasten.  With it: I could get more Acid Mortars out... yet that build already has so many debuffs and soft controls I am not at all tempted to be able to spawn more MM actions that already cost significant amounts of Endurance.

 

I rarely plan for Hasten in Defenders/Controllers/Corruptors. This choice is primarily motivated by wanting to have diverse powers, so there is plenty to do without cycling the same few actions repeatedly.
