If you get adjacent to a monster that’s currently attacking something, that same monster will start hitting you instead. When you and your npc companion melee the same monster, you will always get hit even though it’s your npc companion who’s gotten grabbed.

Is this by design?  
Anyone else that’s frustrated by this?
