Life vs Speed?

tl;dr - Don't be a lazy LNC. Use both.

That "very small boost," to your stamina bar is huge. It = more TP which = more WS/abilities = more damage/debuffs etc.

You're gimping yourself (and the party) if you just ride LS. Pop LS before engaging/between mobs, let eva proc, pop SS, rinse and repeat. The cooldown is 30s for these. Worst case scenario is you get stuck on one or the other a little longer than you wanted.

an avg fight lasts about 15-25 sec? That little boost of stamina you get from Speed Surge would probably get wasted on switching around skills, not to mention the animation further slowing you down. That strategic might be good for longer fight but there is no such thing in FFXIV yet. Some things are easy to say in words but barely applied in game. I can guess many players sometimes forget to even reactivate any type of surges because the fights are too damn fast. i would assume you probably need to burn 7-8x 100% stamina in order to get a 1 extra stamina bar from the use of Speed Surge.

Really? What in the world have I been fighting then?
