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!

IMO PvE, in particular, weekly nightfall is the only place fireborn (self res) should be used. If someone is playing PvP with anything but radiant skin they are doing it wrong. I can't count how many times I have killed a warlock, hear and see him starting to res and kill him again before the animation has ended. Not sure why people use it honestly its not as if it erases your death or anything. Maybe in 3 v 3 it could be useful but not the other modes. When I use it in nightfall I don't use it completely passively and wait to die, but I do wait until my fire team has generated orbs before I use my super. Then once I use it I can get another immediately by picking up their orbs, then I will wait until they generate more use my super again for maximum dps You don't have to die to use your super when equipped with fire born. In nightfall I just want to make sure I have a super ready the majority of the time to avoid a wipe. PvE outside of nightfall if I run sun singer I use radiant skin.
