Sigh... you can read this post that I made over at MSEA forums.

At max level of Revive, to hit 90% chances of summoning at least 1 Reaper, you need to kill at least 22 monsters. At standard level (i.e. 13) of Revive, to hit the same target you need to kill at least 32 monsters. I suppose BmG's summons were supposed to differ from Adventurer's e.g. Elquines, Birds etc. in that their numbers will make up for short duration and long attacking interval, while providing an autonomous auto-targetting mechanism (which is stupid because it behaves just like a monster in terms of movement).
I could do a simple statistical calculation to find the mean DPS increase for Reapers compared to Adventurers, but IMO having Bains shoot at you from afar because they were aggro-ed by your Reapers seems very stupid... would be even worse in TT both in terms of probability of Reaper-mob collison (V increase => activity/fugacity decreases => rate of reaction decreases) as well as even longer ranged and more painful attacks from e.g. Oblivion Guardians.
Though... given the number of mobs that Zak vomits out... as well as for other bosses e.g. MLTC, Manon/Griffey...? I have to admit, I'm very curious as to find out what on earth would happen if you used Revive during Dragon Rider PQ...
