It was broken in D1 but I believe it can be balanced. Here are my suggestions, whether it comes back in D2 or a theoretical D3: Ability comes from an exotic armor piece -I think the chest slot is most competitive for super-related exotics but it's dealer's choice. You could bring back Purifier Robes, the blind on self-res chest from D1, and skip having to design a new exotic. Self-Res drains all super energy -You no longer self-res into an ability-spam monster. You died and came back to life, your penance is no super. Therefore, you have to choose whether to use your super and risk actually dying, or pocketing your super for a revive Encounter wipes disable button prompt -Mechanical failure is treated separately from combat failure. If you screw up the Witness snare, pasta la vista, no res for you. This prevents cheeses where a player dies before a wipe mechanic, the mechanic triggers, and then self-res bypasses said mechanic. Self-Res still costs your Revive Token -Since you did technically perform a revive, you lose your res token in high-level activities. My central hangup is that Titans and Hunters lack equivalent self-sufficiency utility, but that's a problem for another day. Maybe Titans can get an armor lock exotic and Hunters can get an invincibility during dodge exotic, but I digress. This ability probably would need a combination of balancing factors, but it would be pretty sick.
