Warhorn Master doesn't advance


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I would like to get this one done and unfortunately progress is blocked.

With my necro, I have tried killing ambient creatures in instances and also in the open world, and the achievement does not advance.

I have not tried other classes, I will do so and post back.

Is this a known issue? I do not see any record of it.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Weapon_Master#Weapon_MasterTo acquire weapon-related achievements, the last hit must be dealt with that particular weapon a specific number of times. Only the weapon related to the weapon skill that strikes the killing blow will earn a point. If the target dies from any other source of damage such as Pets, trait effects, condition damage or most utility skills no credit is given, although several utility skills count as kills from a certain weapon.

With necro, it helps to remove the main hand and just use Warhorn 5.

more easy way create new char - ranger, and use warhorn.also keep attention - this count ONLY killng blows from you AND that weapon skill, if you use util skill or another wep at blow - it not count.so if u wiht necro spamm f1 f2 f3 f4 and put conditions, you descrease chance to get +1 to warhorn achiv.

Some weapon achievements are impossible to achieve due to the count mechanic. It's ridiculous; you have used the weapon thousands of times, yet the game insist you haven't, because of some weapon skill mechanic.

Every kill should count for the equipped weapon(s), regardless of whether the respective weapon finished the enemy or not.

one more moment - achievement progress is long if you check it each time, but if you put on druid warhorn, spam all skill and get pleasure from game-play - progress is incredibly fast

Unfortunately, in 2021, neither Warhorn 4 nor 5 does a thing to advance the achievement. This bug hasn't been looked into in years, it seems...

Can we get this fixed, @Fire Attunement.9835?

 

@confused person: 7 years ago, all skills using the respective weapon counted, like Necromancer warhorn skills for the Warhorn Master achievement:

For years now, though, all condition skills have been removed from the skills that advance the respective Weapon Master counter. Only strike damage counts anymore. This makes it super hard for many off-hand Weapon Master achievements to finish, as the skills have a huge cooldown compared to main hand auto-attack skills. ☹️
