I use the npc's alot. If you're tanking, you could pull 2 groups of mobs maybe even 3..... but u need to BACKTRACK and get back in range of Alphie or Urianger cause they can't keep up and are way behind you and you'll die waiting for a heal. It may not be faster but it's less annoying just to take one group at a time with them. Maybe move to the next group once a couple mobs or so from the first are dead. If you're a healer or DPS, u can run to the 2nd group and shoot one (stack regens on the tank first if you're healer) then run back toward Thancred or whoever, he should be coming to you to grab the new mobs.

As for bosses, I've had runs where alphie and Urianger do great, then (more often recently in late Shadow) where they're complete morons and just stand in the aoe w/o moving. Like the last boss of Gulg, Alphie died at the end just like that, i was pld, spammin my heal we finished the last 20% with him eating the floor. As annoying as she is (if you're on dps) with taking the limit break the SECOND it pops up, Alisae is good to have as the other dps.... the healer does a stupid she can raise em. As for trash mobs the npcs just get back up i think if u survive the .. "trash pull".
