Saving the team from wipe = Jurk. TIL. *NM* (Destiny)

Oh, so you just save your super instead of using it and generating orbs for your teammates? No need to self res if you don't die because your team chains supers and wrecks everything.

This saves a wipe even better, since now everybody is alive instead of just you. To me, it seems better to use your super instead of saving it and not contributing, in the majority of situations.

This is dumb. It's not an either/or situation; self-res can happen AFTER you generate orbs (it's not like you super ONCE in a game, right?). And there are plenty of times when you're separated from your teammates; guarding separate confluxes, for example, or on boomer duty, or whatever, where whatever orbs you're generating are not near where your teammates can use them; it's not as if the act of generating orbs is worth breaking up a set strategy (or leaving your post to get some is worth the risk). His point, and it's a solid one (didn't we just see ProbablyLast just snatch victory from the certain jaws of defeat a couple of days ago?), is that the ability to self-res is quite literally a game-changer.

You can keep on making your point, but it's not going to get any less annoying at this point. Yes, team play is good. Yes, when possible, we're better off working as a team, because our chances are generally better when EVERYONE is stronger. No, not all situations are won by teams. Sometimes, Superman IS useful.

(Disclaimer: I don't play a Warlock - I've NEVER played a Warlock. I don't have any desire to play a Warlock. But I can certainly see the benefits of the Warlock super without having to be pedantic about team play.)
