Common IOs vis a vis Exemplaring

How do IO values work with exemplaring?

Let me use an example. I have two powers. One is slotted with two lvl 15 IOs, for a total of 38,40%, the other with one 40, for 38,60%.

Let's, for the sake of the example, claim that the two are equal. Will they stay equal regardless of how far I exemplar down, or will they exemplar differently?

The answer is complicated. It depends on the strength of the enhancement provided by each enhancer, as well as the level you are exemplaring to.

You can find the details needed to determine the answer for your examples here.

Nightfall: 50 DDD
Sable Slayer: 50 DM/Rgn
Fortune's Shadow: 50 Dark/Psi
WinterStrike: 47 Ice/Dev
Quantum Well: 43 Inv/EM
Twilit Destiny: 43 MA/DA
Red

Final Rest: 50 MA/Rgn

You are talking about schedule A enhancements from what I can tell.

The key thing that make a difference between these case will be

Minor bonus threshold, specifically
Any individual benefits of 20% or less are unaffected by Exemplaring down as far as level 21. This applies the two 19.2 % enhancements, the single 38.4% enhancement will scale at all levels

I don't think then that you really grokked the info on that page. It tells you what exemplaring does to each enhancement, and what that effect is depends on how much enhancement each enhancer provides, and what the level you are exemplaring to is.

There are no other rules for what happens to enhancers than what's shown on that page.

Maybe you should give an example you want to see the effects on?

I did.

Two enhancers of level 15 vs one of lvl 40. Very comparable values. Other than the 20% thing, I don't see much of a difference, which is what matters for me.

In the end, I really want to see variations of, if replacing three lvl 30ish IOs with two 50s will hurt my exemplaring more than it seems at first.

Simple answer:

Lower level IOs in every instance (of comparable % total) will be equivalent or more friendly for an exemplar build than higher level ones.
