Level Shift and Soulbound Set

Back before Level Shifts, I had always thought that on Necromancy MM’s the Grave Knights would make better use of the Soulbound Proc (And in fact probably the entire Soulbound set) then the Lich, given that the Lich is more support-based then damage-based. However, I quickly found that that wouldn’t work, since at lv 50 the Knights spawn at lv 49 each, and Soulbound will not function for any pet under lv 50. But now with level shifts, which I’ve noticed also apply to MM henchmen, I am wondering if that means that the Knights (or in fact all tier 2 henchmen) could be slotted with the Soulbound set (or to be more precise, whether the set would grant its benefits, as I know Soulbound CAN be slotted into other henchmen, but without effect).

I am thinking this should work, but since I'm not an expert on CoX game mechanics I'd like to check with someone who is...or at least knows more then I do.


If I can still hit it, I'm not getting enough xp!

This is exactly how it works and has worked for my Jounin, both pre- and post-level shift. No reason to think it won't behave the same for Grave Knights.

Oh, Ok then. I guess I had the wrong idea about how the purples worked on pets.
...Alright then, thanks for your help.

There was a bug a few issues ago that caused the purple pet IOs to not work for any pets that weren't level fifty. However, when that bug was around, I believe that you couldn't even slot the set. At the moment, I have the Soulbound set slotted on my zombies. I'm pretty sure that the enhancement component is working, and I assume that the proc fires occasionally. (I've never actually bothered to check, to be honest.)
