So many questions regarding the Trust-system

They take longer for you guys?
the trusts demolish things compared to normal players it seems

I had an issue on the second boss of the second dungeon. One of the npcs would wait to pick up a tether until I had already picked one. They would then stand in front of mine, making me have to get a new one if I didn't want two stacks on the boss, only for me to miss it. This happened enough to wipe twice on that boss. I eventually gave up and did it with some fc members later. Because of that I ended up being really put off by that dungeon. Other than that I had no issues with the AI. I like that they have their own personalities. Y'shtola actually happened to die twice on a boss, probably not moving out of aoes, and had to wait for the healer to have swiftcast "back". The second time she got raised she said, "That was embarrassing".

It's great to just play the dungeon and not have people rushing me or whining about any little mistake that I happen to make, especially with it being my first run.
I actually do my job better without people looking over my shoulder. :)

They burn down single targets (like bosses) okay, but anything more than ~3 mobs and it takes an eternity.

I've not had any major issues with the trusts. I get near enough range where I don't aggro and Thancred jumps in like a jedi knight. The only fault I've seen is when 2 mechanics go off at once and the npcs only pick one area to avoid the first mechanic and totally fail the second one, like with the demon wall when multiple lines are shot from the base the npcs will move to the side to dodge one of them but may end up standing in another. Thankfully they don't take huge amounts of damage and heal up very quickly, you just gotta be smart and don't always follow what they're doing as 98% the time they'll get it right but that one time they don't will kill you and reset the fight. And yes it is slow but that's because your gear at the moment is nowhere near as good as it was when 70 was the cap, so it's like being in a party doing it for the first time and taking it slowly. You try doing any of the dungeons now like you did at 70 cap and you'll get flattened until your gear is improved.

Given that I used my squadrens to level everything after my first job to 70, trusts are amazing for me. To bad I can do the leveling trials with them.

any rewards for leveling your trusts to lvl 80? Im kinda bored lol.

That is msot likely later content will require them to be leveled to 80 to unlock certain things involving Trust and Trust companions.

For now we just have the bare bone version which is just level for the sake of leveling.

after using trust many times, i found that y'shtola is a must for companion, she tend (at least in my game) to cast that triple instant cast skill and just literally destroy things, usually fire 4 if it single target and foul if it multiple targets, with her in your party things definitely get faster.
