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!

My main is a warlock, I prefer void walker for nearly anything, except where I need the Rez to help my team, if I run the relic in vog I use Rez so I can solo gatekeeper portals and in case of glitches it prevents wipes. For the entirety of the crota raid I use void walker, being able to blink away with the sword is nice and dying in that case spawns an oversoul anyways. You can easily tell if a person is skilled or unskilled by other means that what they use as a class setup, it's just an ignorant statement to assume anyone who uses Rez is a bad player.
