Friendly Enemies with passive only powers
Storm/ and Dark/ defenders (well, and /Storm controllers) have a PBAoE buff too. Steamy Mist and... Darkest Night? Shadow Fall? I can never remember which one is the buff and which one the debuff for Dark Miasma. Shadow Fall I think.

It's a new era, the era of the Mission Architect. Can you save the Universe from...
The Invasion of the Bikini-clad Samurai Vampiresses from Outer Space? - Arc ID 61013
Sounds like Cold Domination's Arctic Fog will also work (Since it's functionally the same as Steamy Mist/Shadow Fall)
Do Shield Defense characters get Grant Cover? If so that should also work.
Pain Domination's Heal Aura? (Soothing Aura?)
Confirmed Storm and dark will work and grant auras. Will try shield and pain domination later or if anyone else wants to test and post let us know

Empathy should work. Empathy is a good set to give allies if you don't want them stealing your experience. I mean I did one mission where there were 5 EBs allied to me by the end. I couldn't get in a shot on anything.
Also pets work just fine. Just run past the mobs so that your new "friend" ends up standing beside them. Mobs have definite space issues lol. Also works with Teleport Foe sometimes.
----------------------------
You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.
I had tried empathy before and when set to non combative they did nothing. Didn't heal or buff. I believe when set to non combative they can't use any powers that require a target, and I never had em fire off buffs either. Same issues with accelerate metabolism and speed boost. Only way I got an ally to use speed boost was to make him combative which means he stole xp.
I'm trying to come up with list of allies I can make who won't attack and steal xp but still provide a benefit. Have a few story idea's involving these buffers.

Trying to come up with a list of powersets that give you powers people you rescue will use when set to passive.
So far I got the following
Force Field - Dispersion Shield
Sonics - Sonic Shield
Any others?
