MM Aura IOs not functioning while exemplared

[Monos King]

Aura IOs such as Sovereign Right and Expedient Reinforcement shown at the far right do not work while exemplared. Despite Reinforcement even being attuned, the IOs provide no buff for the pets while exemplared unless their given level is at or below the level you are exemplared to. This applies to every pet IO with the exception of the always catalyzed AT IOs.

You're exemplared to level 9, the Sovereign Right is level 31 and wouldn't work below 28, and Expedient Reinforcement isn't available below level 30, so the attuned version wouldn't work below 27.

Should it not be behaving as ordinary procs would, which work at every level?

The MM pet aura IOs function as set bonuses, not global procs, and as such they follow set bonus rules.

This trips up a lot of players. Some IOs with special effects are procs, and can be used as long as you have access to the power, while others work as set bonuses, and work as long as you're no more than 3 levels below the enhancement level. There's no rule of thumb or labeling that lets you tell them apart, you just have to memorize them, ask other players, or test them to find out which they are.

Oh ok. Thanks for the info.

The wiki is usually pretty good with answering this question. That being said, there is a rule of thumb for these sorts of things - if they show up in your set bonus list they act as set bonuses (though you do have to either slot the IO or find someone who has in order to confirm this).

Well I'd say that counts as testing them, wouldn't you?
