Trust System Npcs

[Mirhd]

I've played with my trusts a lot, I have some to lvl 80.

Ryne just from the eye test is the best DPS. I think Urianger is more dedicated to healing. I did big pulls and Thancred never died with Urianger, but he did a few times with Alphinaud in fewer dungeon runs. The only one that I've seen raise someone during a fight is Urianger. All of them can raise someone after a fight is over, even the non-casters.

Should mention, the first time I ran through each dungeon as a DRK, and with Trust npcs, so it's typically from that perspective unless otherwise noted. That said~

I've had Thancred die with Urianger healing, though that was only once. I was curious to see how much Thancred could handle in Dohn Mheg, and he ended up eating dirt. Tried rezing him (when going through again as RDM), it did nothing, then down I went. I haven't really had many issues with Trust npcs in general though, at least nothing resulting in a wipe. If I died, it was due to my own failure. Once, in the final MSQ dungeon, I managed to DERP off the tiny ledge you have to sit on to avoid the boss' gtfo beam, so there's that.

A few times Alisae and Alphinaud (ran them together fairly often) tanked the floor because... I don't know, honestly, but it was hilarious, and it was up to Ryne and I to finish the last bit of the boss' health. I've also seen Thancred rez Alisae/Alphinaud/Urianger with pheonix downs when they derped into things, and Alisae has rezed her brother.... when she isn't tanking the floor, that is. Alisae's AI tends to play very risky in general, which actually suits her character, but can make for pretty silly situations. I've actually enjoyed when such things happen, since it breaks up the monotony of running the same thing over and over to level them/get gear for glam/pets/etc.

Last night I learned that if you're 2/3 done with the final boss in a trust run, and the server crashes, the NPCs get no exp. That really sucks.

Yuuuup.... had this happen before too. I really wish they gained throughout the dungeon, not just when it's complete. :/
