I made a defense buffer during the anniversary event and for the most part I enjoy playing it. Since the target cap was imposed on Redirected Force, I think a one or two other changes need to be made to fit that cap. I'm going to be referring to event style boss encounters, as that's where I use him.
With the much smaller cap, short of standing practically shoulder to shoulder with the MT, it's nearly impossible to keep the bubble on them. I notice that pets/sigils are part of the target list still. As a minimum fix I think they should be removed from the list unless they are your own. I don't know if that kind of distinction can be made or not.
As a better fix, I would like to see RDF given an advantage to make it targetable. Either as a cone, or a targeted AE I don't know which would be better. If it is targetable, I'd like to see the range made to be 50 instead of 40.
I wasn't going to talk about it's efficacy but I think at least one thing has to be mentioned. If it stays a caster maintained AE, then apparently my role is to protect a small part of the team. But if I have to stop to block an AE like everyone else, and the effect immediately stops, then I'm not actually protecting them from anything at all. It seems to me the effect needs to linger for a second or 2 to do some good at these event fights.
Just my obeservations.
P.S. As a side note, I notice the damage buff is supposed to stack 10 times but it was stacking to 17 on me from time to time.

If you want to help your teammates with your buffs as support, just pick PRE PSS and take [Compassion] , choose any heal power. That may work way much better.
Anyhow, [Redirected Force] is the best top most awful terrible form you can choose in CO at lvl 40 now. Cosmic attack deals like 10k damage over block, poor defense buffs that absorb like few hundreds per sec never make sense for helping MT even the range got more wide AoE with more amounts of friendly targets.
I can't find any 'more bad form power' then [Redirected Force] in all CO.
Even a few fix applied, it's way much better for you to pick any DPS buffs working only for your self will be more helpful for the team.
I repeat. Cosmic attack deals like 10k damage over block. Forget for [Redirected Force] if you want to enjoy CO for long terms.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
It's an okay power but as noted above, it doesn't have too many applications...
I mean you could go:
PRE/END/REC w/ Compassion and Redirected Force, AoRP, Ebon Sigils...create a crushing damage build and then rush into group fights with it on, gather that charge and use Force Cascade all the time.
Even with something like that...in situations where'd it actually be warranted...you'll want to be blocking as well. So it'd be better if Redirected Force was a click power which lasted for....30 seconds and allowed you to block and gather charge...OR was a toggle.
