Explosive Strike Proc in Call Thugs

I have a Thugs/Therm with the Explosive Strike slotted in the Call Thugs and the Call Bruiser powers. Back in I12, the procs would fire off all the time while in Siren's Call and RV, but I noticed lately it hasn't fired at all from the punks in Sirens or anytime I malefactor for that matter. The procs work fine in RV (lvl 50), but whenever I malefactor down to level 30 or below, the procs seem to stop working in the punks only (Bruiser works fine at all levels).

I did the testing with a friend in the Arena. At level 50, the procs in the bruiser and the punks were working great. However, when we played a lvl 31 match, the procs only worked in the bruiser, but not the punks.

Is this a known issue or what?

I may just be wrong, and someone will correct me if I am, but I believe that procs do not fire if you exemp down to more than 3 levels below their level.
This is why the lower lvl procs are more valuable at the market

Damage procs should work regardless of the level you're exemplared to relative to the level of the enhancement (i.e. you could exemplar down to level 1 and a level 50 proc would work, so long as you had the power it's slotted in). It's possible that the Explosive Strike proc is another one of those oddities that isn't working right (I've not noticed any issues with it on my MM lately, but YMMV).

As I understand it, Proc only fire for pet attacks with the proper component. Defense Debuff Procs only for attacks with Defense Debuff, Stun Procs only for attacks with Stun, KB Procs for attacks with Knockback.

Thugs only have one attack with KB and Exposive Strike only checks for that particular attack. The Bruiser's attacks almost all have a KB component, and it will fire more often for it.

Actually, they have two attacks that have a chance to cause the damage proc to work. So between the two Punks I get, they have four out of eight attacks that have a chance to proc. But like I said, it works fine at lvl 50. However, when I exemplar down to level 30, it all of the sudden stops working.

Just weird. Probably not worth their attention right now, as it seems to only affect pets (maybe only pets lower than your combat level once summoned?)
