I hear ya.. Had similar problems with the Sorceress Queen and her goons against my level 11ish party yesterday.. eventually won and I don't mind saying it was sheer luck [img]smile.gif[/img]

But as far as beserk goes (in general and with that sword), I did notice when I started using it at lower levels I was missing a lot more than when I wasn't berserking. However now, a few levels later, with higher sword (and dual and dagger since that's the route I've gone), along with a high Dex (I started raising STR and DEX from the begining on my fighters, have maxed STR and am now raising DEX and SPD) I miss much less often when berserking. So I imagine berserk lowers your to-hit in some form or fashion, but you can make up for it by raising stats and skills. If you find you're missing just way too much you might hold off on using that sword or berserk in general for a bit until you're better at hitting people in general. Like you said, it doesn't do you any good to do 2x damage if you can't hit anything..
