Purple Bonus & the law of 5

Okay.

I think I know the answer, but I wanna be sure.

If I have 6 purple sets that give me +10% recharge, then I am only going to get +50% recharge?

Also since purple are global, will the bonus still work if I exempt down to say 30? Like if I was to go into sirens?

Thanks in advanced for the reply.

Yes. And that applies to all the set bonuses not just the recharge one.

Yes they work no matter how low you exempt down. They even work if you have them slotted in level 40+ powers.

Yes, purples are still subject to the Rule of Five.

For Exemping you have th eright answer for the wrong reasons . Purples are NOT globals. They are however (along with PvPIOs) exempt from the normal rule that set bonuses and globals stop working once you exemp down. So you will get your set bonuses at any level, but purples are not globals (they are however uniques).

Awesome!!

Thanks So much for the replies!!

Another question raised. Since purples are uniques, say I had 5 purples that gave me +10% then I added the Luck of the gambler +7.5 global recharge, would it be at 57.5% ?

Sorry I am so confused.

Yes, it's five of EACH named set bonus. You can have five 10% recharge bonuses from purples, plus five Luck of the Gambler +7.5% recharge bonuses, plus in theory five MORE +7.5% recharge bonuses (since the LotG bonuses have a different name), plus five 5% recharge bonuses, and so on.

Correct. Funny thing about the LotG +recharges... you can have 5 of those AND 5 other types that give a 7.5% recharge buff as they are considered to be named differently.

But if you had 6 of either, the 6th won't count.


Be well, people of CoH.
