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 got blam-slapped in the back by a warlock in PvP after you killed him, didn't you? Sorry for your loss, I can imagine it hurts being fooled. Anyways, I run self-res all the time. You know what else I do though? I wear Heart of the Praxic Fire and activate my super all the time, throwing down more grenades than Valus Ta'Aurc does homing missiles and letting forth more orbs than my team can even pick up. In addition, my team loves the fact that they can get a little extra risky because they know even if we all go down, I can come back and revive them. So again, sorry for your rage, but not only can I put out tons of damage with my super (certainly more than most can with any other super and most definitely more than Nova Bomb) but on the occasion where I die... I get to come back and try again. I don't know, the people on my friends list usually love when I tag along and more often than not try to leech my nightfalls because I'm a badass and they are almost guaranteed a win. Side Note: I imagine I sound very arrogant right now. I feel very arrogant. Disgustingly so even. That being said, the point is everybody has a role they perform, and getting on the forums to brag and hate is stupid. If you are a skilled player, you'll do well, and if not than you won't. I have literally seen every single super hated on at some point, almost always because someone got bested by it in PvP. So, to put it simply, get good and stop complaining. People die and people win, it just happens like that.
