Additionally, attacked players should have a lower priority than attacking players, as the attacking players have the benefit of affecting the battle proactively, whilst attacked players may be sideliners who've just been hit with the conal breath attack they couldn't see. And unfortunately, in Behemoth's FATEs, there are a lot of sideliners getting attacked.
My idea with the attacked players was to allow the tank of a fate to be seen not so much anyone that takes damage should be seen. I can see your point with the party over monsters but at that high on the priority list I don't think it matters that much.
