It wasn't the most fun ability to use perhaps, but it was very good for increasing your team's (and you'r own) DPS. In NS1 it only increased your ROF, but it doesn't have to have the same effect in NS2. I suppose what I really meant to write was "offensive support ability (like primal scream in NS1)".
You definitely couldn't have it "always on" in NS1, as each use consumed a large amount of energy and had a fairly short duration, unless you used nothing but primal scream. IMO that wasn't ideal, it should've had a lower energy consumption to promote its use together with other Lerk abilities.
However, if the alien comm keeps getting more support abilities through the drifters, it might be better to not put any further support abilities on the other player classes, to prevent support spam.
