Guild Wars 2

I noticed some weird bugs with the Weapon Master Achievements, specifically for Sword, Axe and Dagger. I was on my Ranger and was using Axe/Dagger when I got the Sword Master Achievement. Obviously that doesn’t match up so I tried killing mobs with Axe first and noticed that the achievement didn’t progress. When I started using my Dagger I noticed that was when it started progressing the Axe Master. I just though this was weird.

Some utilities count as particular weapons. Generally speaking, the main hand weapon tends to get the “kill credit” (for a variety of reasons). So it’s easier to get dagger on a D/D ele or thief than a ranger.

It’s weird, but not necessarily a bug. Just a quirk about how the game recognizes which weapon is active for a kill.

I read on the wiki that pets counted as Great-Swords. I wonder if some pets are Great-Sword and maybe others are just Sword?

That’s possible. I’ve looked for a comprehensive list of what weapon masteries are progressed by what odd circumstances; I haven’t found one yet (the wiki has the most thorough I’ve seen).
