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!

You realize that a warlock with the raid helm can still generate orbs and use self res. Also I don't know about you but im a warlock with the vex and gjalahorn with over 120 raid completions. I know what im doing in the raid so if you want to talk about my subclass why don't you try being a sunsinger. If anything sunsingers are crucial players in the raid due to cheesing. Some raid teams need a sunsinger cause they don't know how to stay alive with a relic ( or sword ) and sunsingers can just self res and pick it back up. I know i've saved multiple raid teams with my self res by jumping off a cliff before the teleport and self resurrecting after the teleport when we only have 3 people so that im on the outside and the other 2 are on the inside. Why do you need your super so often? What do you just rely entirely on your super and without it you can't shoot? You have other teammates sunsingers don't have to be the ones generating orbs get yourself some intellect and quit complaining.
