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!

Edited by Tuxx: 1/6/2015 2:34:15 PMSelf rez is probably the least useful in pvp. When I see a lock die and rez half the time I'm able to just stick him, shoot, and get a free kill lol. You know that guy is probably going for an easy revenge kill, which IS a crutch. In pve it is useful though. Its one thing to die a lot and need it as a crutch, but using it for the benefit of the team is not a crutch, especially if you're putting yourself between your team and the enemy to save your fireteam or resurrect them. While I do enjoy radiant skin and kicking ass way more (especially in pvp), sometimes it just makes more sense to use fireborn, especially in a raid to prevent a wipe, or in a nightfall to avoid a restart. Sunsingers who are good with their class know this. [spoiler]Op makes class hate thread. Entire thread calls him out.[/spoiler]
