    Both classes have very good survivability and sustain/burst.
    Step 1. Be good.
    Step 2. Don't be not good.
    Step 3. See steps 1 and 2.

    But trolling aside. Instead of blaming it on the jobs, maybe learn to be more aware of their LBs. Crystal players rarely die to SAM LB. That's mostly because they have more awareness of what's going on instead of hurr durr "I hit things in front of me." Prolonged games can definitely be harder to focus but awareness is something that can be "learned." Play some casuals and try to make a habit of looking at the party and enemy list real quick every so often so that you can gauge who has LB, who's LB works well with yours, which LB is dangerous to you/your team, who has low MP, etc.

    -If you don't hit the SAM while he has chiten up, you won't get 1 shot.
    -If you do hit the SAM, you can LoS (line of sight) him if you're fast enough in awareness. Granted, if he already "queued" LB on you, you're still gonna die. But if one of your teammates, or EVEN YOU - stuns, silences, binds him, it should give you enough time to hit a corner. Your positioning matters a lot. If you're out in the open when you don't need to be, you're not playing effectively.
    -If you know you goofed and hit the SAM with chiten (and you "know" you're going to die), then run somewhere far from your teammates - there's an offchance that 1. you'll only die alone without your teammates dying too, 2. the SAM targets your teammates and you live. And then the SAM has to wait for his long LB charge again, all for 1 lousy kill.

    How to counter NIN? Sound helps. You hear the NIN LB go off on someone? Or you see that it's ready?
    1. Guard (but make sure you're at a decent HP). This pretty much stops NIN LB from chaining.
    2. Spam recuperate if you don't have guard.
    3. You know you're gonna be focused by NIN LB? Run to Narnia so you cause the NIN to waste time going back to the main group fighting. Chances are, he's only going to get 1 kill from a long CD.

    All it takes to counter these 2 jobs is a little effort from your noggin.
