Worked fine on a Lambda I ran last night. Got held a couple times but was still able to attack.
Were you experiencing any lag? (I know, dumb question, but that's step 1 of troubleshooting.)

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
I haven't played my Blaster since the patch but I will definitely try and test this.
Hmm. I decided to solo Dominatrix from Maria Jenkins last night on my Ice/Ice/Cold blaster, and I definitely thought something was up. Halfway through the fight, I popped a break free because I was tired of being immobilized, but the few (and short in duration) times that she managed to Hold me before the break free, I thought there might have been a brief hole in my attack chain.
I can't confirm or deny though, since I was solely focused on killing her before she killed me.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
So, I went and got purposely held by a Master Illusionist on my Sonic/Energy Blaster and the first 2 ranged attacks worked fine. I wasn't close enough when held to use the Tier 1 Secondary.

Has anyone else noticed anything untoward? I'll be running a few tests later on when I get back in game. I'm hoping it was just me... |
Pulled out my 24 AR/Dev, annoyed some ink men, got stunned - could still fire just fine. Same with getting held by one of the sorcs.
There was a bug way way back in the day (got fixed around i8 I think) where Illusion and Mind Control holds would put you into an animation loop if you had your rifle out. You couldn't use a break free. Could this be that bug again? Are you getting stuck in an animation loop where it looks like you're trying to fire your rifle over and over? And can you use a break free?
Edit: I tried getting held by both an Illusionist and a Rikti Mentalist, with the rifle drawn, and could still fire Slug and Burst just fine.

So, guess that bugs back. Deep joy.
