Just a quick question (this is NOT a bug report) - can someone explain why OB has his taunt dispelled, CLS debuffs with Buff Immunity for 2 turns, and yet Ben's 2nd taunt procs through buff immunity anyway? That doesn't make any sense to me - and it doesn't work like any other taunt in the game (i.e. no one else can taunt through BI) Was there an explanation that I missed somewhere along the way? Thanks (and @scuba - I'm sure you can break it down if no one else jumps in first). ;)

So far it seems as though OB's taunt works different than any other taunt in the game "just cuz"?? Someone help me out here...

Because zetas.. And a nerf would rage people B)

If you apply buff immunity to old Ben, then dispel with the next char, the second taunt does not apply. The reason it APPEARS to apply thru fracture, or CLS special, is because it is reapplied the instant it is removed , BEFORE fracture, or buff immunity is applied.

When I face a dual tank gk/obi, I Fracture gk and I apply shock to obi. This prevents the taunt at all. So shock (buff block) can kind of nullify the zeta.

So shock blocks the buff, but buff block doesn't block the buff? A basic ability, but neither of the two special abilities?

Apparently RacerDejak's meme is the closest explanation to accurate....

I am legitimately sorry I asked, because this is making less and less sense.

Basic as can be CLS uses use the force dispels all buffs at this point because obi wans taunt expired he re taunts then cls applies his debuffs specifically buff imunnity

What nebulous is saying I believe is that he is shocking obi wan before he taunts because if you apply shock or buff immunity before obi wan taunts he won't get the taunt buff so it can't reapply itself

I do feel to prevent anymore threads like this they should add "this second taunt can not be prevented" to its description

But the 2nd taunt can be prevented. If you apply shock or buff block before you dispel his 1st taunt, it will prevent the reapplication.

So, for example:

Zeta Obi taunts.
Ep applies shock to obi
Dn dispels taunt

Shock prevents the 2nd taunt from applying again.

Assuming it's zeta'd, it isn't like any other taunt, insofar as it is reinstated upon expiration. That would mean if you perform an action that clears buffs on him, the zeta responds by coming back for a turn. After that exchange is when any buffs are applied.
