Self 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]
