I just ran this with the npc party last night. I'm ranged dps (DNC) and apart from the pace being very slow and my crystal exarch tank not wanting to take the lead or pull, it wasn't too bad.
The main issues is the lack of AOE abilities the NPC's have or will use when they should. So it is a much slower way of completing dungeons. Now for DPS that may still make it quicker then waiting the que time but you will honestly get much more Exp completing trials while waiting out your que time if you just grinding. At least they will dodge most or all the aoes.
Thanks for this guide it helped a lot. The tank died on the last mobs before the first boss. There was a sudden spike of unexpected damage. But luckily I was able to ress the tank and heal the DPS meanwhile. Had some trouble with the orb AOEs from the first boss but I think I know where to run now, and finally ate some Aoes when the third boss hit either right or left.
Good job. There isnt much the mobs before final boss do so tank must of been hit by an AOE. Good job keeping everyone alive though. Sometimes deaths are unavoidable but keeping your cool and responding to the situation appropriately is the difference between good and great healers.

Your pointing out which AoEs can be stunned is maybe a small thing but it makes life easier for the group, so thanks!
Glad I could help
Thanks again for these videos. They're a huge help!
Thanks for watching. Glad to hear they are helping.
Thank you. Just cleared this first time.
Congrats. Glad I could help.
I tried to do this one with the NPC party system. Not a good idea.
Thanks for the guide.
The NPC part system takes a lot of work. I've personally only tried it once and didnt enjoy it.

I did it as a DRK. Imagine the slog.
I've found healer to be the worst to do the Trust system with but tank is pretty bad also. At least you picked the one with the most DPS.
