I was doing the Sylvari PS step “Mirror, Mirror” and the 2nd wave of destroyers made quick work of the golems and NPC allies. I barely escaped, healed and made my way back to the group of bodies to revive them.
As soon as I revived one NPC, it charged into the group of destroyers some distance away and died almost instantly, forcing me to abandon reviving another NPC and run away again.
It’s frustrating that the NPCs are so aggressive, attacking even when out of aggro range of the mobs. Having them either follow you or decreasing their aggro ranges to match that of the mobs would improve this a lot.
