i was using reckless frenzy and then it activated turn the tide and elusive and i didnt even get to half health then it disabled after it finishing attacking

Welcome to the message boards Lelpeterson. My buccaneer isn't quite high enough to use this skill so I am only going off of information that I have read.
Perhaps you missed someone or were blocked?

It is my understanding that the frenzy continues until you miss or die. My guess is that you just missed someone so it stopped.

Yeah, this is real. Immediately after you lose a bit of health, on the first swing of reckless frenzy, it activates turn the tide (and or elusive if it's trained) straight away, and seems to increase your damage and accuracy. I think it's really unfair as it increases your damage (making you kill them quicker) and increases your accuracy (making you less likely to miss and more likely to knock out an enemy). It's already bad enough that they can take it down to 37 damage with all of their protection buffs, now they get a bonus as soon as they take damage? I know it's a bug, but it needs to be fixed before it affects pvp.
