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!

Absolute nonsense. I helped two randoms from the tower a few days ago when I received a random invite. Turns out they wanted me to help with the weekly heroic. I thought why not, it's nice to be nice! Turns out if it wasn't for my self res (on more than one occasion) then we would have all died. They kept dying leaving me to smash Omnigul alone. I thought to myself, -blam!- it I'll try to revive one of them (both of which are cheesing in that little daft room, their reasons still elude me) so that we can speed this shit up a bit. Bottom line, I ended with 270 odd kills and not one of them got more than 100 kills! If it want for self res then they muppets would have had me fight her alone and it would have taken a lot longer than it should have! THEY WERE BOTH LV 31s WTF!
