I believe it is true. Don't know if it is intended. I recently put a set of 5 Panacea into Dull Pain and when I exemp down to 19 I have a recharge bonus of 57.50, 50 of which is from Purples.
True and intended.

If set bonuses work that way, what about the uniques, like the PvP +3% Def IO (Gladiator's Armor, I think)?
the uniques also exemp down to all levels. as to whether that's intended, I don't know.

Those work just like the other uniques - they function as long as you have the power they're slotted in available.

So these pretty much are new purples released into the game, I really should look into some of them. Question is mids updated with them yet?

Wait a sec, what? I thought that some uniques (ie: Steadfast +3% def, Karma +KB Protection, LotG: +7.5% rech) were always on regardless of if you had the power or not - all that mattered was the level of the IO?
*makes a note of something to test tomorrow*
If the special IO functions as a set bonus, you have it as long as you do not exemp more than 3 levels below the power.
If the special IO is triggered by using the power, it functions at any level, as long as you still have the power.
Whether or not the IO is Unique has no bearing whatsoever on the above.
PVP IOs function like purples, so the +3% def bonus should function at any level.
@Roderick
I've heard from some folks that the set bonuses from PvP IOs act like purple bonuses and don't go away when exemplared/malefactored. Is this true? Is it intended?
