The rule of 5 applies only to the name of whatever bonus they are giving.
so you can have 5 LoTG 7.5 recharge and 5 7.5 recharge set bonuses because they do not share the same name for their bonus.
PvP sets are a tad bit dif... im not sure if anyone has tried stacking those or not or bothered to see what name they actually say the set bonuses are.
The new rule of 5 IMO for DR zone you should be aware of is, dont slot more than 5 pvp IO's. Base accuracy is far more important now than it was before, even if you have a high global acc bonus and +to hit. 60% acc in a primary attack power with an acc check is just not acceptable. Use that 6th slot for ether acc/dam hami or acc IO.
That's what I was afraid of, Warhamster. I have 6 Thunderstrikes on a fire/fire dom in Blaze and 3 devas/2 Very Rares in Flares (was waiting for the other three to drop) - long story short - Blaze is less accurate than Flares and I do notice I'm missing more (70 base acc to 95ish).
Considering these are PvP IOs, it makes me wonder how much the devs PvP vs. most vets lol.
Where do I send my donation to mids again so they can get their hamster back up and running again to include PvP IOs?

LOL devs pvp.
The guy that did mids left it, someone else is doing it but not sure if they are releasing anything soon.
The Rule of 5 basically means you can't get more than 5 of the same set bonus, excluding actual IO bonuses like Luck of the Gambler's recharge bonus.
Many of the PvP IOs share common bonuses (such as the 6th bonus in many sets are +7 acc and +7.5 recharge). They also share bonuses but share them in different ways: such as 2.25 hp/end bonuses that are awarded sometimes as PvP bonuses and other sets that give them for PvE.
Question: Are PvP bonuses considered differently than PvE ones? Or if you have 3 Gladiator's Armor 2.25 hp bonuses (pve awarded) and 3 Fury PBAoE 2.25 hp bonuses (pvp awarded) you only get 5 of the 6 while in PvP?
I think I know the answer here, but until mids updates or we see more rich bastages come up with firsthand accounts ... I gotz no clue here.
