Old Ben Taunt vs Fracture
How is this possible? Old Ben was fractured in the arena but still maintained his taunt. I see what his zeta says but it should still be blocked by fracture. Am I missing something?

- Is the forum regurgitating posts from months ago?
- Ummm, not a robot... just curious.
- That may be what's happening, but according to the language in their abilities, this is the wrong outcome. Feature keeps buffs from adding on after it's active.
- Thrawn’s Fracture does these things to the opponent, in this order:
1. Deal special damage four times.
2. Dispel all buffs.
3. Remove 50% turn meter.
4. Inflict Fracture (can’t gain buffs).
With the Devoted Protector zeta, Obi-Wan’s taunt is regained immediately after it expires. That happens after step two in Thrawn’s Fracture. The taunt is reapplied before steps three and four. He has already regained it before the step where Thrawn prevents new buffs. "Aetoski;c-1350136" wrote:

There are many subtle reactions that happen throughout the game and cause things you would not expect. but they even used this as an example of his second taunt in his character release post.
the above explanation is correct, dispel causes the second taunt apply. then fracture is applied."DavidSPumpkins;c-1350132" wrote:

I realize it's the nature of the beast, but the forums of late have had a lot of a groundhog's day vibe going on."DavidSPumpkins;c-1350222" wrote:

Yeah then we find old threads by searching and then if we post on them we get hounded for necroing. Catch 22 right there. Why does more than 1 thread of something bother people so much? Truly a first world problem.- Thanks for the responses. I still disagree with the way it works but apparently EA did this on purpose so not much I can do. And indeed. Why waste your time replying if it bothers you that much? Go troll somewhere else!

Since Fracture avoids buffs from getting applied to the character, Taunt should not be. Even if this is WAI, they should consider it a bug for consistency's sake. Or update Thrawn's description "Inflict Fracture (most of the times can’t gain buffs)".
