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!

Edited by grantmy: 1/6/2015 4:43:37 PMNot everyone holds on to their super for rez on the off chance that they die. About 95% of the time, I have fireborn on but take every chance I can to use my super and generate orbs. One of my favourites is when I'm in the centre for confluxes on VoG - when legions are summoned, it's a great opportunity to generate as many orbs as possible for my team so that they can do the same and we can all keep that going. And I don't have to rely on spamming grenades - any kill that I get with radiance on gives me orbs, so rocket launchers also become your friend when radiance is active. I think that the super should be used (in reason) whenever it's available. Otherwise, if it so happens that my super is charged and I die, why wouldn't I want to rez? I don't see that overall play style as a crutch, since we all die at some point. I do agree with you 100% that it is selfish and pointless to only use your super for self rez - I imagine that it would also be pretty boring.
