Fracture 9th Sister Taunts -- Feature or Bug?
So fracture is supposed to prevent a character from gaining buffs. So is this a bug or some feature or the inquisitor's rocket surgery kit design?

Fracture's text says they can't gain buffs, though.
It’s a messed up order of operations kinda thing.
So when you fracture or even isolate someone that has that reapplication of taunt when dispelled it goes like this:
Fracture dispels the taunt. Then taunt is redone. Then fracture is put into place. It’s just how CG coded it.
So if you were then able to dispel that taunt again after fracture is in place that would work.
Actually the highlighted part is not correct. Fracture itself does not dispel anything. If you read Thrawn's special:
Deal Special damage to target enemy 4 times, dispel all buffs on them, remove 50% Turn Meter, and inflict Fracture
The dispelling takes place in a step separate from, and before, fracture is applied.
The general pattern CG seems to have established, though not explicitly stated AFAIK, is that all the events in reaction to an event (A) are always based on the state of the target toon as of A. For example, when you mass assist on somebody, and the first hit is a crit, it causes GK to gain taunt, but all the other hits during the same mass assist still hit the original target rather than GK, because as far as they are concerned, GK does not have taunt yet.
