Using the sword would be worthwhile if you were Soloing--no fellow party members to attack--except that while you're Berserk, you have no control over your character. So, as long as there are enemies within your field of vision, you can't even issue such basic instructions as "Drink a Healing Potion!" or "No, attack THAT guy!" or "Don't step on that trap!"
Some Cursed items aren't that bad at all (like the Claw of Kazgaroth), but I hate cursed weapons in particular, because you can't even switch to your other Quick Weapons anymore.
