I was going against Savage with a Nightsister squad lead by Mother Talzin and noticed something that I'd like to confirm. Here's what happened;

Enemy squad all had Plague.
Old Daka stunned Darth Maul
Savage attacked Nightsister Zombie and when Savage returned Darth Maul was still stunned.

So my question is does a locked debuff prevent Savage's Brute skill from moving debuffs to himself? His Brute was Zeta'd due to the fact it was pulling up HoT's.

Plague prevents cleansing all debuffs, so yes, savage cannot cleanse a plagued Maul

Yeah but savage doesn't cleanse like a normal character. He simply moves debuffs onto himself and then cleanses himself if suffers a critical hit. I do think you could make an argument that this is working as intended as long as he's not cleansing plague off himself when he gets critted

If Maul is stunned and plagued, the stun cannot be forcibly removed in any way, including savage's debuff steal. It has to expire naturally, or Maul has to be healed first to remove the plague. Same thing applies to Savage, although he heals himself easily, resulting in him cleansing everything.
