Yes.
I'm actually not even sure that it's possible to create a situation in which set bonuses don't function. As far as I'm aware they function while exemplared even when the enhancements they come from are grayed out. That could be wrong though. In any case, they do function while in forms.

Thanks.

Unless they are purples, ATOs, or store bought sets, they will stop working within three levels of the level of the enhancement. That's why I don't get why people like to slot level 50 (non-purple) IOs. I like to be able to exemp, and slotting 50s mean you are out of luck for a huge swath of content. I go for a happy medium between enhancement numbers and exemping, getting recipes in the level 30ish range. That lets me exemp from Moonfire up while still having access to IO boosts (I mostly play blueside).|

Now, if by grayed out you mean "the power is no longer accessible and I'm no lower than three levels from the level of the enhancement" I believe you are correct.

I'm pretty much the same way. If I'm slotting for a set bonus I tend to keep my sets under level 33. That way I can SK down to 30 and still keep my set bonuses. For a few sets I keep them at 27-28, specifically I'm thinking of basilisk's gaze, since it caps at 30, the difference between 28 and 30 isn't much. That way I keep those sets as low as 25. I do slot lvl 50 IOs when I am not going for a set bonus. So my builds tend to be a bit of each. |

There are a few IOs where the IO level doesn't matter. The 120 second proc IOs are the most obvious ones, Miracle, Numina, and the stealth IOs. These all work as long as you have the power, the level of the IO doesn't matter.

Those recipes that cap at 30 are really worth lowering a bit just for the price. Even though there should be more recipes at level 30 (due to how random rolls work), level 30 recipes are usually a huge amount more in cost on the AH.

Do set bonuses placed in human form powers still work while in Nova/Dwarf form?
Checked the stickies and did page searches for 'set' and didn't get any results.
Thanks.
