I think this is a bit backwards, as Spirit has limited usage, while Berserk works forever and can have its risk infinitely mitigated with something as simple as Resta. Of course, this gets back to the broken BB units topic, as Adept completely breaks Spirit and should be removed if you want Spirit to be balanced again.

I believe Tofuman already found that before.
If its dynamic memory, yeah... that value is in code.
At the risk of sounding rude, should you be trying to rebalance PSO if you don't know something like this? ^^;
I would argue that the deciding factor is not the risk but your ability to use the attack. Berserk continues to work when you reach the minimum HP value of 3, thus allowing you to deal double damage forever, as long as you don't get hit. Charge also has effectively unlimited usage, since 200 Meseta is nothing compared to the capacity of your wallet. Spirit, on the other hand, stops working when you reach the minimum TP value, thus forcing you to use a fluid and limiting the number of Spirit attacks you can do without piping to restock. Sure, you could use a Geist weapon, but the time spent stealing TP negates the extra speed of using Spirit, so you'd be better off just using NHH the whole time -- unless you factor in Adept, which allows you to stretch a single TP bar much further and thus could potentially impact the calculus of whether Geist and Spirit together are worthwhile, i.e. further study is needed.
I'm inclined to agree on the subject of spirit maybe needing more power than it gets, as it is a resource that can easily be depleted (which goes back to the point I made on techs) since your ability to use either is dependant on you stuffing your inventory with fluids so you're able to continue on, and if you're like me and hate wasting time going back and forth through shops, you then also rely on luck with getting difluid and trifluid from drops just to finish a straight run.When you compare the three attacks, Charge is clearly the most overpowered, as it poses no risk and has unlimited usage within the context of a single run. Berserk involves risk but has unlimited usage, while Spirit poses no risk but has limited usage, so IMO that makes Berserk and Spirit equal, while Charge is in a separate class. You can't very well adopt the "use sacrificials on everything" playstyle with Spirit if you burn through your fluids before you finish the quest. Berserk is more dangerous, but it can be abused indefinitely. In some sense, one could even argue that this means Spirit should do more damage than Berserk.
