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!

So, you're labeling every Warlock in the game that uses self res as a bad player? I'm sorry but, you're being completely and utterly bias. Not every Warlock is a bad player. Example, myself. In fact, the majority of raid groups want Warlocks. There are easier ways to actually getting around a level with the Warlock's self res ability. Such as getting 'rid of the de buff in the Crota's End raid titled, "Presence of Crota". Which by the way if you didn't know, helped the team out as a whole. Also, the oracles, if everyone wants to stay at the top. Whether you consider cheesing bad or not, Warlocks have more use than any other class, Titans being the second most useful with their Weapons of Light shield. Now, if you want to talk about bad classes that have no use in raids, even in PvE as a whole, let's talk Hunters... They still have no use in the new raid besides running to the chest after the bridge. Even then, a Warlock can easily do what the Hunter does. I'm not making this into a rant, however, I'd love for you and people like you to stop bitching and taking down the majority of the community, yes, Warlocks are the most played as. One more thing, stop being biased. Did a Warlock shit on you or something?
