Now, now. No sense in ya'll trying to out-LNC each other. Pretty much everything boils down to opinion vs opinion. How each person utilizes their abilities is up to them. Not taking sides or anything, but denouncing one's credibility based on conjecture is just as bad as saying "My opinion is better than yours". The fact of the matter is, SS2 and LS are both great abilities that define the LNC role. Neither suck for any situation, but one might bring an edge to a particular battle compared to the other. Myself, as a firm follower of Life Surge, will admit that Speed Surge is probably better for a DD role. But who knows? Evasion Down helps the entire party. Again, it all boils down to conjecture.
