PA refresh is dependent on your Generator's Kojima Particle output. The higher the stat, the faster you PA gauge refreshes. This does not however, affect the time between an AA attack and PA refresh. Fromsoft nerfed AA at reg 1.3 (or was it 1.4?) to prevent abusive usage by significantly increasing the start of PA refresh after an AA attack, thus reducing the frequency of using AA attacks within a match. Back in 1.2 your PA begins to recharge about 3-5 seconds after an AA attack, in 1.4 PA begins to recover around 15 seconds after an AA attack. The cool down period between an AA attack and the start of PA restoration is non-alterable by any known means, and is another unlisted stat .
