Normal Play Analysis

Remember what I said about the Knight's main weakness being the lack of special skills? Berserker takes this problem and multiplies it. You literally can not tell it to do anything but attack. This is Final Fantasy V's only real "bad class" use it if you feel like it, but it's not that hot.

Low Level Play Analysis

Normally using Berserker is sup-optimal. When at low levels? Down right terrible idea. When you need to keep careful watch over a bunch of weak characters, executing exact strategies, using a character you can not control is insane. Never bring out this job, there's no point.
