what would be the most effective PA for large 1 target enemies like jarbas and those annoying electric wizards

Don't use Twin Sabers for those kinds of enemies. Try a Saber with Spinning Strike, or Twin Claws with the first combo of Renzan Seidan-ga.

Assault Crush should do you well.

Yes, if they have two targets. But if they don't have two targets, Spinning Strike or Renzan Seidan-ga will do much more damage.

:< I don't need to test. With a middling Buccaneer, you can do around 2000 on both hits of the first combo of Spinning Strike as a 110/15 Male CAST AF, and 3500+ on both hits of the second combo. Renzan Seidan-ga is 4 hits, of about 900 each, for the first combo.

Splendor Crush is around 900-1000 for three hits of the first combo, and if you're going to use the whole combo it's rather slow to execute as well. I'm not saying it's a bad PA--I love it on things with two hitboxes--I'm just saying it's not as useful on single hitbox enemies as Spinning Strike or Renzan Seidan-ga.

edit: Meant CAST AF, not FF http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Assault crush is ideal for this sort of thing, ever since they upped the multiplier on it. It's fast, dashes forward, and is single hitbox. If the mob's a single target, like Bill or Jarba, just don't use the third leg of the PA.

Not going to get into whether other weapons are more suited to the task or not, but Assault Crush definitely gets the job done, and done quickly.

You're wrong. The only thing Splendor Crush is EVER good for is 2-target enemies that will hold still for the whole PA, as the finish does more than the first 2 parts combined. That's why Splendor Crush is one of the worst PAs in the entire game. Every Saber/Dagger PA is better than Splendor for a single target. Every other Twin Saber PA is better for 1 target.

I personally like Assault Crush and Renzan Seidan-ga for single targets because they doesn't have as slow a startup as Spinning Strike, but Spinning Strike undoubtedly does the most damage.

bogga robado is pretty good if you like fists though, hit 4 times for over 1000 faster than a lot of things, the other parts I don't like as much.
