IO sets. 5 piece Unbreakable Constraint, 6 piece Lockdown, and 5-6 piece Gladiator's Net are all excellent excellent sets to put into Power Surge if you've got the spare slots. Each of those sets will actually give you ~90% +rech (the only important enhancement value, honestly) and give you some very nice set bonuses.|

Of course, I wouldn't even recommend taking Power Surge on a Scrapper. Taking it just puts you at the resistance cap and that's not going to do much, honestly. The comparative improvement is actually rather poor (~2.3 fold increase to survivability) when you consider the crash and what other crashing tier 9s grant. Unless you plan on set muling it, I wouldn't bother taking it. Chances are you're not going to want to use it in the first place.
Lockdowns? Isn't that a hold set? How are you able to put that in power surge?

Power Surge accepts hold and resistance IO sets. When Power Surge fades, it generates an EM Pulse centered on you right as you crash. This causes -regen, -end, energy damage to electronic targets, and a rather substantial hold (mag 3 w/ 50% chance for 1 mag, 22.35 sec duration). Because of this hold, it's possible to slot Power Surge with hold sets. Nifty, huh?

Hmmm, that's not too bad of an idea now that I think about it.
Handy advice, certainly. A Six slotted lockdown should be easy, too.

Oh I didn't know about the EM pulse. I always thought power surge was just a typical godmode like unstoppable that gives you capped resistances
