Ham cost for this was already presented as a brawler top 5 issues from last month. I will be working to review these in the next few days.

Everytime I use Berserk, it works pretty well. Until it wears off, then the mob still hits me faster and harder, but my attacks go back to normal, is this the way its supposed to be?

I have the same curios gripe... and another one to add!
Often times, I'll get 4-8 Beserk Failed messages in a row. It's extremely irritating when one's a Teras Kasi Artist... shouldn't I only get one every so often?? Very odd that they do that. Seems like it happens most if you try to beserk over and over really fast. Usually works if I wait a few seconds, but then I'm getting beat.

It would be nice if Berserk showed up in the combat queue. It's kind of difficult to tell if you pulled the move off or not right now.

Not really. You see that green cloud of smoke on you and then you can see it next to your ham bars.

Yes, you can tell whether it succeeded or not, but it's difficult to tell if it failed and if you need to try hitting it again. The "you are too calm" message typically gets lost in the combat spam. With virtually all other actions, like Intimidate for example, it goes into the queue, you see it there, and it turns green when it gets activated. You can tell if it failed because you get a combat message, and you see "intimidate failed" over the mob, and you don't see the little visual effect. You have none of these features with berserk. Usually you have to kind of guess whether it went through or not and then try again.

I'm working on Novice Fencer, which takes Brawler 1-Handed Swords IV, and have been using the Berserk ability. Problem is, it costs well over a hundred pool points to use and it doesn't always work. Is it just me, or does Berserk only work about half the time and the other half it takes your points but doesn't do anything . . . .how can I fix this ?

You can't fix it; it's not broken. If you check your combat logs, it'll say something like, "You try to go berserk, but you aren't angry enough."

Well, that's not right. I was downright p!ssed at those Kaadus biting me. And the thought of losing 140+ points from my pool, which I badly need during the fighting, makes me even madder. What does it take to go Berserk ? Just as a side note, before I start combat, when every thing is peaceful and loving, I go berserk instantly - then I start attacking the critters. So if I'm mad enough before I start attacking things, why am I not mad enough while I'm attacking things ?
Can I get a Correspondent or a SWG rep to answer that ?

I had the same problem when I was using berserk to level my characters. I found a way to get around this problem and it is useful for any of the legs on the brawler profession. In fact I used this macro all the way up until novice fencer, novice TK, and novice swordsman. I am sure it will work for pikeman as well, I got lucky and didn't have to do that professions to unlock.
Simple macro
/berserk
/attack
Write this macro and use it as your default attack when leveling. Isawa difference instantly once making this.
Good luckto you!

Natchan, I'll give that a shot, thanks. So simple, lol. One problem is that Berserk only seems to last about 5 or 6 hits, then I have to keep using it and that's when it craps out on me. Maybe if I set up the macro to /pause 30; and then /berserk again ? might be worth a shot......

Thats what I did while grinding the unarmed tree again. It worked good for me. I made mine 25 seconds though. Sometimes get the you can not berserk while berserking but it didn't bother me.
