If you're referring to this:

Soboro isn't even mentioned.

And my two-cents:

The only time I was outparsed using a Daihannya (15k xp to Hagun!!!) by a Soboro was by a SAM/THF. Of course, I usually better geared then most SAM's I party with. (Not a Slight, but not everyone can afford the HQ orny attitude) Personally, Soboro is fun, but I like the numbers on a high dmg gkt.

I had the opposite experience - I was never outparsed as SAM/WAR with Soboro in any party I was in between 50 and the 70s when I started XPing in merit parties with LS mates occasionally. In fairness, I had capped GKT/STR/Crit merits the whole time and top-notch gear barring some luxury items, so I was in better shape than pretty much everyone I XP'd with.

Generally because of eyeball parsing, high D gkt(excluding Hagun obviously) puts up pretty #'s, Soboro cranks out more overall damage, especially for the times you can 3 step Light with no MS :3

This is my experience as well. However, I found Hagun was at best even with Soboro until 75 - it is heavily gear-dependent for best results. Pre-75 you pretty much have to pick between Haste and 6-hit (and the Haste build isn't stellar anyway), and that does not favor the Hagun's strengths.

I just started leveling my sam at 50 now, and soboro is very awesome sauce.
