I know HOW re-direction works. That's not my point.
In the form it's in now as I see it. If I am fighting
the Omegus, and re-direct on someone else, there is
no penalty outside of the Omegus doing damage to me
and me not to it. I am wondering why there isn't some
sort of penalty for this while facing the more powerful
mobs (if there is one then I'm not aware of it). If I am
going to direct on someone else that suggests that my
attention has shifted or is split. This should have some
effect on how often I get hit and/or how much damage I
end up taking.
