Howdy folks,
As my sig indicates, I have 5 lvl. 50s. More than a few, but fewer than most hard-core gamers. And, since I, like many of you, work during the day and have obligations to family during the weekends, I'm not sure I can GET to my non-50s to benefit from the bonus XP (especially for Sis Psy and the week-long trek through Council and Freakshow).
However, I led a Sis Psy TF yesterday with Beorn, and there were 4 of us who were exemplared 50s and 4 who were more the level-appropriate characters for the TF in the first place.
We had a blast!
Now, I will admit, the dynamics between the players was great and we all seemed to enjoy the ride, but it was more than that...
The 50s were all talking about heading to do a LGTF or ITF afterwards to grab any needed shards, and the lower level characters were asking questions about the Incarnate system, Cimerora, and generally just being inquisitive and good-natured.
One hour and forty-one mintes later, and I had my Notice. But, I didn't even realize that the TF had taken that long. I enjoyed myself. I tanked throughout and, for some reason, seemed more powerful than a level 25. I have a knockback proc for one of my attacks that is level 35, yet I KNOW I was knocking down mobs with an attack that does NOT inherently have knockback. Also, I have Taunt fully slotted with Perfect Zinger at level 50, and I taunted and several times caused Psionic damage with my taunt.
I thought we lost the bonuses in our IO sets when we exemplared? If so, I didn't. If not, then why complain about the WTF if the only "gimping" is a loss of some powers?

You lose your set bonuses, but you don't lose the IOs themselves. The knockback and damage procs aren't set bonuses, they're IOs with a particular effect, so presumably that's why you kept them.|

If you had, say, some hypothetical IO set whose individual IOs had their own properties and then a set bonus that said "chance for knockback" you'd lose that.

You do lose your set bonuses if you exemp below their level. However what you were seeing was the procs going off. Procs are not generally treated as set bonuses and will work at any level, provided the power you have them in is available to you at that level.
