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!

5 RepliesConsidering most raids center around not dying, I'd say self-rez is fine. It is certainly better to not die in the first place but no one can guarantee you that. DPS comes from rockets + snipers, not necessarily from supers; they're more for clearing mobs which a rocket or grenade can easily replace. I play with randoms quite a bit and it is reassuring to have warlocks that can self-rez. In random groups, there isn't much team strategy/cohesion anyways lol...I'd say dying lets your team down more than anything else.
