I just watched a really good video from Aztecross about subclass abilities from D1 that he would like to see return in D2. It reminded me of how much fun the Fireborn ability was. For those who did not play D1 it enabled Solar Warlocks to self res from the dead by hitting their super. It had a lot of uses in both PVP and PVE. It saved many a Raid, Nightfall and Heroic Strike from disaster. But it was really the most fun in PVP. Even in the last year of D1 players would be taken off guard by it. The best (and most fun) use was when you were killed at a Control Zone (particularly if there were several opposing players there). The key to using it properly was to wait 4 or 5 seconds before activating it (amateurs would hit it right away and most times would end up get nailed right away too) and just as 4 or more guardians would be doing their victory dance while capping the zone (or even better t-bagging you) BOOM you self res and take out all of them! That was always a riot! Anyone else miss this?

I miss it, but damn, was it broken. Not in the sense that it was OP, but it made some raid encounters super easy to cheese.
-
I don't miss it because I used to run Tlaloc in PvP and never used super anyway. The only real usage in PvP was in Trials for a clutch game.

1 ReplyNope not at all. It should never come back
-
I miss everyone camping the last Warlock to die in a Trials match, knowing full well he's going to self rez hoping for a miracle to save his team, lol. Never personally used it more than a handful of times.
-
Hell yes F!@#+ a dawn blade. And F!@#k a well. In d1 no one expected anything of a warlock you could do you. Now every team every post requires you to run a well. I'll take self rez over that anyway. Your warlocks not a dam healer . There has ass elemental space monks. On par with some shaolin. Type shhhh. But that's not how they feel. Warlocks suck in D2. Idk why they cant just add self rez to your new skill tree. Self rez is what made your warlock feel special. Its thr magic element of the game. Takes away from the lore and that feel not having it. All because these PVP babys. Wanted to cry about it. Screw pvp
-
I hated it for pve. But completely forgot about the PvP interaction. Some of my favorite d1 memories are sniping a self res in trials
-
4 Repliesit was one of the biggest crutches in D1. I’m glad its gone.

3 RepliesOnly scrublock mains miss their do-over subclass. Casuals.......

I miss it paired with tlaloc. My weapon was my super
-
No, I just miss Sunsinger, and when solar grenades used to stack damage.

The Dregens Ghosts begins to glow with demonic energy and with out any warning the downed Dregen eurpts forth in a pillar of corrupted flames. Then the Dregen lobes an endless wave of grenades at them for Shaxx had taught him well. The guardians flea in terror, for none of them remembered to bring a Jotun."

2 RepliesEdited by Sherluck: 8/29/2019 8:57:03 AMIt wasnt even that good. the only really good use for it though was to glitch the game, but even then the glitches were just for fun. Edit: forgot to say if i missed it or not. Yeah i want it back. I liked being a savior to my team.

1 ReplyYES! Please Bungie bring self-res back! This was one of the many things that made Destiny a unique PVP game compared to other games, was great fun and even going against self-res in trials was an awesome challenge. Although, going against 3 self-res' in trials was something to behold
-
Yeah but it was broken any annoying so...good to see that its not coming back
-
20 RepliesNope. I was tired of LFG groups demanding every warlock to have it on. Well of Radiance is the same deal now, but still.
-
Nope, we are better off without it. Hero moments do not require a crutch. Good luck trying to justify over well of infinite ammo.... Self rez was the cheesiest trials play you could ever do
-
2 RepliesI miss lance more than anything, I also miss the true devour perk from D1. Voidwalker was one of the best classes in D1, its been downgraded a lot in D2
-
1 ReplyIt had its moments, but as a raider and warlock main I didn’t like having to devote my subclass to insurance for if I’m a derp under threat of kick.
-
Nah, and that redneck can do one. Down voted.
-
No. Stupid and game breaking
-
7 RepliesNo. I do NOT miss super hoarding. I do NOT miss having to hard scope a dead ghost waiting for the lock to self rez. I definitely do NOT miss being asked why Im raiding as a voidwalker not a sunsinger. The only things I do miss about Sunsingers were Viking Funeral and Touch of Flame.
-
I miss Shatter Bomb more
-
It broke every aspect of game balance and not only was it a nightmare for the dev team to work around but It was bullshit to deal with in gamemodes like trials. Its dead. It best stay that way.

1 ReplyTo all the "its a crutch crowed"...…… Self-rez was just one more thing you had to account for in PVP....not PVE. You had to be smarter and that's why you didn't like it. You knew that the lock could do it you just didn't know when he was going to do it. Now PVP is very straight forward. It doesn't take much thinking and its lacking in depth.....kind of like PVE now. You can sleep walk through a match.....throw in some more "unknown" and you have a real game. Self-rez added to that depth. It was "the answer" but it was part of the puzzle. PVP has been dumbed down since then.

Edited by indo: 8/29/2019 10:29:18 AMI surely don't miss the double 1 hit kill sticky grenades that had more tracking than a Truth rocket and stick to you even when you were around a corner.
