Warlock self-res is a crutch for the weak.
Seriously.
What use is it outside of PvP?
That's right - people who struggle to stay alive can have a second chance at dying again. Give me a Warlock whose build is based around staying alive any day of the week. A Warlock using self-res is basically waiting to die. They're holding the rest of the team back. They don't generate orbs unless they die. They don't activate supers unless they die. They're basically a drain on DPS and team strategy/cohesion. If you're a Warlock with self-res, [i]you're letting your team-mates down[/i].
When recruiting for Raids, I ask people if they use self-res and then turn them down if they say yes. I want my Warlocks to be team-players, not people concerned only about themselves.
[spoiler]It's not really any use in PvP either.[/spoiler]
Edit: apologies if I've stopped replying to someone in particular, this forum makes it impossible to look through everything and keep up with every conversation.
Edit 2: Next week on Ackter Provokes: The Gjallarhorn and how if it was suddenly removed, 99% of players would no longer be able to beat anything!

You realize we're talking about 1 option out of 3 here as far as Sun Singer goes right? I wouldn't really call that basing the build around anything. In fact its really 1 out of 2 if you think about it since Radiant skin would just enable you to possibly survive and if you don't you're dead anyway so why not just use Fireborn to get back up? As for the third option I seriously doubt a shinning golden god such as yourself would get much use out of merely having your cool downs reduces if you happened to be in range of Song of Flame.
