I was hoping to find an answer on this post as well, since I'm intentionally contemplating doing this. Yes, on purpose.
The Devs have confirmed 2nd Taunt will proc through Fracture, right?
I'm assuming it would behave the same through CL's debuff and anti-buff application on a character, but one of my guildmates who theorycrafts seems to believe it would not be able to proc, though cannot say why.
I'm hoping to find confirmation one way or another from someone else before I drop 20 Zeta's on this.
The gif that made it look like OB taunted a 2nd time through fracture was misleading. OB was fractured, speed set to 0. The next turn went to Thrawn, so...fracture fell off, taunt popped up.
This is 100% wrong. Taunt wouldn't come back later. There is no delay process."dad2my3;c-1225379" wrote:
Fracture does four things:
1. Deal special damage to target enemy four times.
2. Dispel all buffs on them.
3. Remove 50% turn meter.
4. Inflict Fracture until the start of Thrawn's next turn.
So the way I read it is that Ben's taunt is dispelled after step two, and he immediately regains his taunt before steps three and four.
And this is both wrong and correct. Correct in that you are right for why obi's taunt behaves the way it does with 'Fracture'. Just have the skill order incorrect.
Do not use the in-game skill's description as the order-of-operations for the attack. It can be wrong.
According the skill information gathered from swogh.gg, 'Fracture' actually works like this:
First: dispels
Second: applies Fracture
Third: reduces tm by 50%
Fourth:deals damage
The dispel happens first. This makes the taunt appear simultaneously and THEN 'Fracture' debuff is applied. The debuff doesn't prevent buffs that apply right before it lands only after it lands.
Savage's buffs don't be come back when he is fractured.
Is Savage's mechanic different than Old Ben's?"Gaidal_Cain;c-1226073" wrote:

Yes. Savage requires damage to get his buffs. Since damage is the final step of 'Fracture,' the debuff is present before the 4 hits occur and thus preventing the two buffs.
