Warlock self-res is a crutch for the weak.
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!

But for some missions, where you need someone to take a risk, a Sunsinger with Fireborn is probably the best bet. Also, what if you get sniped in the open when running from cover? It saves a lot of time if you can self-revive and run back to cover. It seems to be very useful when fighting Supplicants in the Vault. A warlock with Sunsinger can easily prevent a wipe. It has it's uses, so don't hate on it too much. With that being said, there are plenty of people who don't know how to use Sunsinger correctly, and they hold onto it for a ridiculous amount of time, so I understand the caution. Before you kick them, ask if they could use Song of Flame or Radiant Skin instead. If they say no, probably give them the boot, because they probably use it as a crutch. If they say sure, or that they'll switch for at least part of the mission, then I say let them in.
