So what you are saying is you fail without the use of your supers? Everytime I run VOG Hard, all our warlocks hold onto their self respect just in case crazy shit happens. Granted we can VOG but this Bungie we are talking about, crazy shit happens. My teams warlocks have no trouble dishing out DPS, they get tons of kills, and are extremely useful. And let's not talk about how handy that self res is on a Nightfall where the burn is the same as bosses element. Talking to you arc burn Omnigul. Also, a self respect build for a warlock allows you to run high DIS and STR for more melee and nades. Allow me to equip my claws and have double scorch, and double nades with extreme cooldown. (My buddies build, not mine). Before you start trashing people for their playstyle, learn how to build a character, and play off your test strength. If supers are tour go to strategy, you aren't going to last long.
