Tinker.6924 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) It seems only killing blow using the specific new weapon matter for this achievement and while that might be OK for most strike/power builds, for other builds that rely on pets, utility abilities, profession skills and other things it works very poorly. For example, if my engineer's Aim-Assisted Rocket damage (an Explosives Trait ability) strikes the killing blow the kill doesn't count towards the achievement even if 99% of the damage came from the new short bow. If I use a "regular Mechanist build" only 1 out of every 4 or 5 kills count towards the achievement. It sucks that I have to use an intentionally underperforming, bad engineer build and rotation to guarantee my kills are coming from the bow. Please rework the achievements so the new weapons don't have to get the killing blows, only tag the enemy allowing regular builds and rotations to actually be used.

Always help to check the dev tracker since your issue might already have an answer Edited March 6 by Linken.6345 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was meant as a wink. 😉 I am at 1,214 and lost interest after a while. It's just ridiculous and not really worth the time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
