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!

2 RepliesThe build of the warlock player should be appropriate to the situation. For example - VoG hard raid it is entirely appropriate to have self res so that in the event of your death, and I'm sure you die in the raid just like everyone else, you can return and continue to help the team. Crota battle, however, death not only inconveniences everyone but can interrupt key moments in the battle by generating an oversoul. At this point coming back doesn't ease the situation, besides adding DPS to the OS, so playing in a very safe manner to avoid being downed at all is more appropriate. In the first instance I will use Fireborn. In the second I would absolutely look to reduce my incoming damage when being aggressive to generate orbs. Your one size fits all attitude is a detriment to yourself and your raiding party. My attitude and my team mates' attitudes means that we are flexible and competent in a variety of situations. Every one person knows that changing their load outs is required for different activities.
