    I wish they'd sticky this or something...

    This is WAI - After Thrawn fractures Old Ben's Zeta kicks in and taunts afterwards.  I understand the wording would make you believe otherwise... and it should be changed... but it's been said multiple times this is the intended behavior for Old Ben's Zeta on his taunt.

    You can feel free to wonder why in-game descriptions don't get updated and clarified as these things keep popping up.....

    Actually, AFAIK, precisely spoken, after the DISPELL Ben's Zeta brings the taunt back, and only then at the end, the FRACTURE is applied (which prevents any further buffs).

    Something definitely needs to be clarified in the wording of Thrawn's ability and Old Ben's zeta.

    In my opinion, according to the descriptions, Thrawn's fracture would override OB zeta, because the fracture prevents any buffs.

    Agreed.  I'm glad this one is working the way the devs want, heck, I'm always down with 1 toon out of ALL of them being able to kind of override an ability like this.  Makes Old Ben really viable. 

    But that means the text should change.

    I guess ea.graveyard is just hoping bozo's like us will handle their light work.  *le sigh*   Cheaper then fixing in-game text and translating it.

    Well, seeing as the Taunt doesn't work if you have buff immunity on Ben then it shouldn't work on Fracture, too. They cannot just change the text to say "also ignores Fracture" - they'd either have to say that it cannot be prevented, where it would have to ignore shock and buff immunity, too, or change it not to ignore Fracture.

    Well, yes and no - you'd have to have a toon that 1) removed enemy buffs and then 2) inflicted buff immunity.  I assume that toon would do the same thing. i.e. remove-> taunt ->apply buff imunity

    Conversely, if old ben could take a turn while fractured (I know, he can't, just to get the point across) if he could take a turn, he couldn't taunt.

    It's precisely because the order of operation of remove taunt -> taunt -> apply fracture that it works.

    Still - the wording should reflect it if that's the devs intention (and I gather it is)

    I'm pretty sure he regains taunt against CLS and use the force, same principle.
