Valygar is only a good NPC is he's used properly. He's not meant to be a frontline tank. I've used him as an archer/4th fighter/stealthy, backstabbing mage assassin very successfully.
When you put the Celestial Fury in his hands and play him as he's meant to be role-played (he is a Stalker, not a Berzerker, after all), Valygar can be a death-dealing machine.
If you play him the same way that you'd play Minsc or Korgan, Valygar will be calling MEDIC!!!!! far too often.
