Tanks Pulling Trains (Who's Wrong?)

[Reiryuu]

Does trust party use aoe attack? Also I'm not sure if trust tank AI is the same with tank player.

A few do use AoE abilities but very rarely. Thancred and G'raha will use AoE abilities to get aggro on mobs, for sure. Urianger does cast a gravity with slow + heavy on it which is huge, but he doesn't seem to cast it all the time. I'm sure Y'shtola has a flare-like ability that is AoE and G'raha as a black mage does too. G'raha as a WHM will cast Aero III and.... I want to say I've seen him use holy a few times as well, but I am not too clear on that.

The trust tank AI is pretty decent. The only problem is, as the trusts follow you, you have to get close to the mobs before the tank jumps in. And for mobs that spawn like the ones from the town square in Holminster's Switch (SP?), they will aggro on YOU, not the tank even if the tank is in front of you.
