So my only question is, did you somehow distract yourself when you did distract giant?

Yes, I went to distract the giant when I was retrieving. I did this so Shanta wouldn't get the kill and get the codex back and I wouldn't have to redo all the work put in. Just thought it odd I targetted myself even though didn't strike. Shanta was still able to circle though which caused problems. I've also found that right after distracted if a thief has already entered a command for circle, the circle goes through and I AM directed at the thief, then the thief still manages to get the circle through, sometimes hitting, while they are tanking blows.
