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!

This is the stupidest post I've ever seen lol. You think self res sunsingers are waiting to die? I have a pretty solid k.d in both PvE and pvp. I use self res because WHEN I do eventually die because I'm not going to try my balls off every game, I can self res and spam nades for 10 seconds. When the VoG was still a thing I spawned orbs by killing vex with precision kills, and now I spawn them with precision kills to hive. We spawn 2 orbs with a scorch kill if we have the perk on. How do we not contribute to the team when we save your ass from having to start everything over? I would love to play against you in pvp to show you that we are more valuable than you think.
