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!

Thank you for declaring what a poor raid leader you are. It just saved me future headache. 1. Sunsinger Warlocks are a SUPPORT/DPS class. 2. Fireborn allows that warlock to SUPPORT HIS TEAM by permitting him to go into dangerous places and do dangerous things that other classes would avoid doing becuse the chance of dying is too high. 3. It also helps the TEAM by allowing them to not have to fight on a man down if the Warlock dies with his super charged, or have a team WIPE if he goes down as the last Guardian Standing in a raid fight, or a strike. 4. The reason why Sunsinger Warlocks save their supers for Fireborn in because---in high level PvE----that ability to SAVE THE TEAM with self-res is MORE VALUABLE than the orbs or the damage that activating Radiance can bring to the table. Especially if that Warlock isn't running with an exotic like Light Beyond Nemesis or Praxic Fire. Any Sunsinger Warlock who steps into a hard raid or a nightfall and DOESN"T save his super for Fireborn...is an idiot. ..and a selfish player.
