hey guys, i had a question about use of Life Surge

because of the whole DoT "snapshot" system that xiv has - isn't life surge best used on a dmg boosted chaos thrust (assuming all ticks) instead of a full thrust?

What I understand about Life Surge is, your next hit will be a guaranteed critical. And I believe its only one hit critical which means the CT strike is a crit but not the DoT. Probably you can test it out on a level 50 mob and see the bleed effect

Life surge is a really awesome ability as it has strong offensive and strong offensive capability. Unfortunately, it will not increase the ticks of your chaos thrust. It is best used offensively with Full Thrust and Blood for Blood up. Using your dots w/ BfB however will increase their damage by 30% and they can be activated at the start and refreshed efficiently near the end of blood for blood. lots of damage. I hope this answers your question fully

Just did the test earlier, yeah CT with Life Surge only affects on the CT strike but not the DoT.
