Build Up blocks Defiance while mezzed?

I have one immediate thought: are you sure the attack didn't fire? I have seen quite a few situations where I launch an attack and the ANIMATION does not play. This can be caused by all sorts of circumstances. Did you check the combat log to see what, if anything, it reported?

The attacks definitely didn't fire; no damage to the target, icons never greyed out, even if the animation/ graphics weren't visible.|

I'll try to replicate it ( find a mezzer, hit BU and click away), record the combat logs and do a /bug on it. Just seeing if anyone else encountered this, and a heads up to watch for it.

Just lst night on my fire/NRG (level 45) exemped down on a synapse (20) I was able to fire off the relevant attacks during build-up when in a Tesla cage.
If you exprienced a bug its certainly not global in its effect so those detail logs become important.
Good luck with the squishing, and I'll keep my eyes open for a set of circumstances that duplicated it.

Was in RV yesterday on my Psi/EM hit build up while being mezzed by a Dom Tier 1 and 2 Primary still work. Tier 1 Secondary still works. At least in my experience.
This is the kind of bug that sucks. Maybe it's only a specific type of mez, maybe it's only Build Up from one powerset, maybe it's only one AT that does this. feh.

Anyway, can't seem to replicate it with Rikti Mesemerists but did manage to get mezzed after BU, and also got the proc to fire while under holds and sleeps, with no problems firing back.
Guess I'll have to find some helpful Wisps while running around in the Shard, and next time it happens I'll save the logs.

It could also be some sort of specific IO you've got slotted in BU. Make a note of what you've got slotted if you can't seem to narrow it down just by powersets, etc. Crazier things have happened to make a bug.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
Yesterday my blaster ( Energy/ Elec ) was facing some Nemesis and hit Build Up just before being stunned and was unable to use the any of the tier 1 and 2 primary, or tier 1 secondary, powers until the build up wore off (stun effects were still running). I chalked it up to lag perhaps but noted it being strange since the character would play a 'twitch' animation any time I tried to fire.
Just now playing a different blaster (AR/ Elec) and was held by a Rularu Wisp. I was firing my tier 1 and 2 powers normally until my Decimation Chance for BU proc fired in my Burst, and I was unable to fire for the duration of the BU. Again, once the BU was finished I continued firing normally while still held. The character would play a 'twitch' animation any time I tried to fire as well.
In neither case was I exemplared/ flashbacked or SK'd (playing solo both times).
Anyone else notice this?
