Actually I find that, when I'm being mobbed by maggot young or similar,
the
revives are excellent distractions. They take the heat off the Zon by
offering alternative targets. Also, with Fanatacism from the Faith bow and
Might from the merc they *can* kill monsters in hell (just don't hold your
breath).
In summary; It's not a deal-breaker but they do have their uses. They've
made things easier for my strafer more than once.
