Is retarded. I can't tell you how many times I've seen Warlocks get rekt when they self-rez, even with those shitty Purifier Robes.
I suggest all my fellow Warlocks learn how to use Radiant Skin to its fullest potential. Use Firebolts, Flame Shield, Viking Funeral, and Touch of Flame. Also, run full armor and recovery, with barely any agility. (I use the Battle Runner perk on my shotgun to compensate for the lack of agility, and not having as much agility allows you to play more passive. You're a Warlock, there's no need to be rushing around.) Make sure you're running 100% Discipline, that's most important. Based on assumption and experience, I think once you past like 300 Intellect/Discipline/Strength, it doesn't make anymore of a difference after that in PvP.
*Pro Tip* Thorn cancels out the Touch of Flame perk. I suggest using The Last Word. One hit with TLW followed by a Firebolt and they will burn to death regardless.
As far as Exotics go, I prefer the Claws of Ahamkara for 2 one hit melees and Flame Shields while my Radiance is active. Otherwise, I would use the Apotheosis Veil or The Ram because Ram's "Increased Armor" perk stacks up with Radiant Skin and Flame Shield. Also, The Heart of the Praxic Fire is actually really good if you're planning to push aggressively with Radiant Skin.
So, please do not use Fireborn. When you Self-Resurrect, you're practically giving the other team one free kill. The majority of Warlocks in Trials use self-rez, and that makes you as a Warlock so predictable. Any smart player is going to have eyes on you the whole time, waiting for you to self-rez so they can laugh to the Lighthouse. Nobody's going to expect a Radiant tank to come out of nowhere chucking firebolts everywhere. The other team gets scared every time, and usually pushes back enough where you can get some revives because nobody likes Firebolts. Fireborn does come clutch sometimes though, but nothing can beat Radiant Skin... literally, you can pretty much survive every super thrown at you as long as you have Flame Shield active during your Radiance.
*Pro Tip* If you see a Guardian's Light Level glowing yellow, that means they have a super. So, use your super wisely otherwise keep your distance.
I hope this helped some of you noobs. Good luck in Trials.
*EDIT: Don't get me wrong though, Fireborn is pretty clutch sometimes, but hardly anything can compete against Radiant Skin if you have thumbs. I can think of more benefits that come with Radiant Skin than Fireborn, but in the long run, it's all based upon your personal preference and play style. Don't let me tell you how to play, but do take some things into consideration and be mindful about it as well.

HotPF will get you 1 maybe 2 extra grenades. The ram is probably your best option with radiant skin. With fireborn- purifier robes
-
lol i just save my blade dance for self rez
-
If you're using Fireborn you shouldn't wait still your whole team is dead. Purifier Robes helped me clutch a round when all three of the enemies sat on my ghost.

Voidwalker > Sunsinger

Questions. If one of my friend use the tips in this thread, and I plan to support him by using song of flame. Will the song of flame effect an warlock while using their super? If let say two titans support that warlock by using weapon and blessing. Will weapon and blessing work on an warlock while using their super?
-
Great tips,I'll have to try this

Self res is basically a do over after you fail the first time, not very hard to use.

2 RespuestasEditado por Shottah: 6/29/2015 10:27:41 AMI actually do very well with fireborn but theres a cple rules i have to follow. Never use if everyones dead unless its final round cause 3v1 almost never works out and Never use on heavy round your just asking for death. I get best results when i use it when theres one person left and they are creating a distraction or getting chased down. Won many round we shouldnt have cause fireborn. If people were smart once you popped radiant skin they can just hide or run till its over. Sometimes on the final round ill just go jump in the middle of them die on purpose and self res once they get distracted.

1 RespuestaThis is a good post. I'm not a noob, but learned a thing just now. Thx dude.
-
2 RespuestasSomeone pls reply :)
-
2 RespuestasYou ever went against a team of self res locks lol
-
1 RespuestaI'm no Warlock and even love taking them out when they rez, but I agree they should start using radiant skin. Fireborn doesn't save teams and much as we'd like it to. More often than not they go immediately back down. Wasted super.
-
Fapisauris Likes To Run Radiant Skin, Claws Of Ahamkara, Flame Shield, And Fusion Grenades , Radiant Will, And Gift Of The Sun
-
Exactly, a 4 shot golden gun helped me in a 1v3 (4 I should say) situation.
-
2 RespuestasLel. Seen a draw in making, but warlock resurrected and snagged a round win.
-
3 RespuestasAgree with op...never had my team lose a round because of a clutch fireborn. Too easy to counter, and they usally wait till they are in count down and it's 3v1. Dumb...
-
I clutched everytime with my res. Just need to timed it. I'm not gonna rez near an opponent with a shotty
-
3 RespuestasI get what you are saying but radiant skin is a shit perk. I doesnt give you that much more armor , I prefer to have options available. I like to play agrassive with radiance but if I die I dont wait to be the last standing to use it anyways, it all depends on how well the player use it
-
1 RespuestaBump for later
-
1 RespuestaWarlocks will still get rekt in crucible because 90% of them are dumb af and Rez with 1 second left. Then the standing players on the other team just turn and shoot.
-
5 RespuestasI just want to know how they self-rez every round.
-
2 RespuestasVoidfang vestments should be apart of this conversation even tho it's suppose to used for void walker. Listen before you call me a dumbass you spawn with a grenade energy EVERY ROUND. Also the heart of praxic will work good also with same setup lol Firebolt + radiant skin + Viking Funeral + Touch of Flame= 3 kills ToO. :) hella grenades
-
2 RespuestasFire born with fire bolt grenades and biking funeral, when you self res make sure someone is in melee range you will one hit him then spam grenades usually works
-
1 RespuestaAny good player or team always expects a self rez. I always have one of my teammates sit on warlocks and wait for the self rez. At best a fireborn lock will get a trade. Point is Fireborn is one of the weakest supers in ToO as it is the easiest one to counter. Use voidwalker or radiant skin like the OP said and you will be more useful.

Radiant skin is good in pve, but I've used it in pvp, it's not a big difference
