Are Maria Jenkin's AVs supposed to have minimum level of 50?

The former seems most likely
The only way to know for sure is to adjust your rep and retry.
There definitely seems to be some odd behavior going on with the difficulty settings and AV's. I have a Fire/Shield scrapper at level 43, and I've run a couple AV missions set for -1. Both times the AV's inside the missions spawned at level 41, instead of 42.
During i16 open beta, I went into a mission set to +2 and got a +4 Mother Mayhem AV. I was level 50, so it had something to do with the difficulty settings. When I reset to +0 she was 50, as she should be.

Almost this same thing happened to me. I went to do an oura flashback of Maria jenkins arc to fight some AV's solo and I wanted to fight plus 2 AVs, well i put the diff on plus 2 equal to just 1 person cause I don't like fighting lots of small fry on this toon.
What do I get but in my very first mission Cimera(not sure on exact spelling) and she was lvl 54 so I tried anyway and couln't even dent her. This was on an ill/rad that can solo even conn AVs while sleeping.
Why did I get lvl 54 AVs when I was at just plus 2 diff? I have no idea but I quit anyway.
Yeah, I made a post about this in the bugs section, there's definatly some very odd things going on with AV levels at the moment.
The pellet with the poisons in the Vessel with the Pessel, the Chalice from the Palace has the brew that is true...
Most AVs in Maria Jenkins's missions do indeed have a minimum level of 48, save for Tyrant, who spawns only at 50. I can see how setting to +2 might bump a 48 AV up to 50, although I expect that's not the way it's supposed to work if you're under 48 yourself.
I don't know where you got minimum lever 48 from. Tina's AVs have minimum level 40. Maria's AVs have minimum level 45, with exception for Tyrant: his minimum level is 50.

Can't provide a source - was going from memory. Have faced them dozens of times and have never seen Maria's spawn lower than 48. Can you provide a screen shot of one lower?

Working from memory, I could have sworn she won't even give you the arc until you're 48.

Have no screenies, but AE lists appropriate ranges of all AVs... You would have to unlock praetorians though, unless you did it already

The level they will spawn in AE is irrelevant. Maria's missions are coded so that they won't spawn below 48.

Never said you couldn't get the arc at 45, just that the AVs will be 48. Please post a screen shot that shows otherwise.

Please post pre i16 screenie where Maria's mission is less than lvl 48 and spawning lvl48+ AVs
Did Maria Jenkins on a team.
Leader was 48.
Setting was +2.
Bobcat spawned as a level 53 AV
Not managable considering she was 6+ to us being ssk´d
Leader set it +1 and reset and she spawned as a level 50 AV which was far more doable.
Silver Mantis and Ice Mistral are also behaving the same in bank missions so i guess that something weird is happening when the mission contains an av that can spawn at 54.
I was helping a friend running Praetorian AVs from Maria Jenkins. She is level 46 and was set to +2, resulting in level 48 mobs. However, the AVs spawned as level 50. With the new sidekicking system, everyone on the team was capped at level 46, resulting in a +4 AV. This happened on multiple missions.
I seem to recall that prior to I16, Maria Jenkins AVs would not spawn lower than level 48. Is it possible that this minimum is combining with the +2 reputation to result in a level 50 (+4) AV, or do these AVs now have a minimum of level 50?
