Hi Axel
Warior is as awesome as you are. So, its depends on how is your play style.

Berserker
I start from berserkers pros. Berserker can be really tank in pvp with his retaliate skill which reflect dmg to the enemy and with his instinct skill, you are untouchable . His combo also awesome with additional % when the crit is out. If the gambler hit you, the damage will go back to him/her and if they are not stay alert, they can die from that reflect damage.
However,a berserker is effective when he got his all skill which means, need high level to make berserker awesome(at least lv 210++). Defender and craftmans are berserker enemies (assasin also maybe.. Need to be clarified). They can stun you which cause your combo break. If your enemy got buff from priest/apostle, your instinct skill won't help so much. It means, you need to heal yourself up with pot, and that was another job to combo-ing while go press pots.

Swordmaster
Swordmaster have nuke skill which is sword dance. Swordmaster can go wandering around which make your opponent chase you (if he/she is melee) while waiting your skill cool down. Chase -> not get hit. With Charge skill, you can jump suddenly to your opponent from distance. Last but not least, his torpedo slash make your opponent get stun and can't heal.
However, swordmaster can't kill a tank enemy. If all skills already out and your opponent still not die, swordmaster can't do anything else. Your opponent also will heal up when you are waiting for your cool down skills. His nuke skill also not as high dmg as another job such as assasin or templar. Gambler also a threat for you since swordmaster can't run from them. His Radiant Sword skill also have a chance to go out and sometimes the chance is small (something like, you use 5-7 skill for radiant sword buffs).

So, it's depends on how your play style. Usually, swordmaster job is go through front barricade and go to back which apostle, gambler, gunner will be there (low hp) and eliminate them. For berserker, his job will be go in front-mid barricade to defend your back barricade when the enemies tries to go through to kill your apostle or gambler.

That is my point of view for pvp.

For solo pve, berserker will be easier since berserker usually put some agi so their hit won't miss and berserker is one of the most economic friendly job. Meanwhile, swordmaster usually will go all str or str vit build which means faster kill rate than berserker.
