I have a question of what is the best Saber PA to use? (got a blackheart and wanting to use it...)

They are really conditional. If you mean for a single enemy I believe that Spinning Strike deals the most damage, while the knock-up and -back of rising strike is quite useful against mobs and large quadra-pedal enemies. Though this is just my personal opinion.

For My Opinion...Rising Strike...

Get two. Rising Strike and either Gravity Strike or Spinning Strike

I'd say Rising Strike is best for general use, with its 1st-hit launch + 2nd-hit blow away. I use Spinning Strike on that one enemy that just won't get off my back. That drop kick is just so satisfying.

Rising strike is the one I'd choose, personally, but the other two are nice.

I love all of them. However, I prefer Spinning Stike for BIG NUMBARZ on an Acrotecher. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif (3000 is nice :3 )

Of course, I love Rising and Gravity too... but those are not AS powerful on their second part as Spinning's is.

And speaking of which... I love all single handed weapon's PA's. Well, the AT ones, because I have all of them at 20. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_cry.gif Why can't they go farther? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Rising Strike is probably best all-around because of the high damage modifier combined with one of the quickest knockups in the game.

Spinning Strike puts up big numbers that look good in screenshots, but it's outdamaged by Rising Strike in most situations based on speed and number of targets, not to mention the lack of utility.

Gravity Strike probably does good damage once you add up all the hits, but the lack of an early knockup and the annoyingly long animation for the second part put it at a disadvantage.

Rising strike has the ability to knock up and back large enemies that pose a threat.

Spinning Strike deals a lot of damage and locks onto one enemy.

I use spinning strike on my Acrotecher and Fortefighter, while Rising Strike goes to my Fortegunner.

Gravity Strike is good for applying the Frying Pan SEs with all the hits it has, especially on an enemy that has more than one target point.

Also a thing to note is that Rising Strike is Free if you do the Gameplay Tutorial.

Am I the only person that really dislikes the way spinning strike looks?

Rising strike is my saber pa of choice

I'd get two also... Rising Strike to launch/stun monsters and then JA spinning strike when you need to concentrate damage on a single enemy.

I hate the way Spinning Strike looks too.

I love Rising Strike though. Simple and sends enemies up and/or away.

Gravity Strike aint too bad for staying behind a jarba with though.

Haven't used Spinning Strike but have leveled both gravity and rising strikes to 30+

Rising- Knockdowns are easy and quick. If you dont like receiving damage this is the best option. Very fun to use!
Gravity- Looks much better than Rising and offers high damage when you unlock all the combos.

I like both PAs and each are useful in most situations. Hope this helped!

Gravity Strike is my personal favorite though I'm liking Spinning Strike more and more. Right now at lvl 37 with a 50% Buccaneer I basically kill any medium to small sized creature with a full timed attack.
