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!

Warlock has more support abilities than a hunter tbh. In high lvl pve (raids) hunters abilities are 100% useless. Golden gun takes 2-3 shots to take out most raid pve enemies limiting the amount of orbs they can create and blade dancer in hard raid is 100% failure. Where people build the assumption that all warlocks who use self revive are easy to kill is beyond me. I have been in raids as a warlock were I have seen wipes happen more from Titan/hunters dying than a warlock dying and self reviving. If the only way you can do a rain is with specials (which are damn near useless in raids a majority of the time) than you need to learn new strategies and use better weapons as well.
