Level 50s Con Blue?

[TyrantMikey]

So I'm a level 50 incarnate. I'm doing radio missions against Council, teaming with my nephew. Difficulty is set to +0/x8.

 

On two separate missions, I encountered a slew of minions and lieutenants that were level 50 and conned blue to me.

 

What on earth would cause that? It's not incarnate content, per se, and I don't think level shifting of any kind would apply here. Can anyone explain this?

If you have a tier 3 or tier 4 alpha slotted, you will get a level shift that applies to all content where you're level 45 or above.

The incarnate shifts for Lore and Destiny don't apply, but it will.

Really! I did not know this. That explains it, then.

 

Thank you!

If you go onto combat attributes and look at the top section, near the bottom shows your level shift. If you right click and click on monitor it pops a small moveable box on your screen. I keep mine near the hp bar. That way you can monitor if you are +1, +2 or +3.

Yep, you're level 51 thanks to a T3 or T4 Alpha slot so level 50 minions will con blue.  The other level shifts only apply to Incarnate content such as Trials and the DA Incarnate missions but the Alpha always applies unless you exemplar below level 45.
