- It's fun for exp parties when you're not going to induce horrible TP move spam. DoT is good as long as you're not on IT+ with high defense and no meat/songs to help you out.
- It's huge for /RNG & Sidewinder spam.
- It puts up comparable DoT to a Hagun (maybe a hair lower) in merit parties from a bunch of things I've read (still levelling SAM myself).
None of that matters though. Most important fact about a Soboro: it's fun as hell to wield. Go get one, you'll have a great time.
With the range attack boost next update, the Soboro+bow build might make a comeback.
Yep, going /RNG could get quite a bit better than it is now.
