Active Defense bug?

I was in RV today messing around with my SD/SS Tank and noticed something odd. I've never PvPd with this Tank before but I couldn't help but notice that I was getting tossed around like a cheap date at a frat party even with Active Defenses double stacked. Checking RN showed that when I got hit with a hold by the hordes of Doms, AD went down. Not only is this odd because it's a click power and shouldn't go down at all, but also odd because it never came back up. Not just suppressed like a toggle, but gone till it recharged.

It happened several times while I was in there, but I couldn't see what exactly was happening to recreate the circumstances. Is this new or par for the course? Can anybody else verify this?

If you pop your head in other threads you'll see there are a few regarding your topic. No offense and happy hunting!

I did a search on the subject but all I found was in regards to toggle powers suppressing when they aren't supposed to, which is not the issue. I'm talking about a click power disappearing completely.

I tested this some more In RV on Freedom this afternoon.

Shortly after getting hit with two separate holds.

Same deal as before. AD fires and KB pro is applied. I have enough recharge to keep it double stacked at all times and triple stacked for a short time, and it's on auto fire. What seems to be happening is that when hit with a mez, that mez will drop one application of AD. When AD is double stacked it takes two mezs to drop it. Once each application is dropped, it stays dropped until it refires. Once all applications of AD are down, KB is not prevented. Apparently any mez will do the job as I tested this separately with stuns as well. I bugged this.

Thanks to ConFlict for helping me test this.


In general it was ridiculously easy to reproduce this, but it may be related to particular IOs or powers chosen so the more people that can test this, the better.
