Guild Wars 2

I was with a group camping a spawn point in Gendarran Fields last night. As a thief, I figured it would be best to hang back and use the short-bow to throw in poison clouds and cluster bombs… I was very rarely getting any kills though. So, I tried the old, ‘run up against the door and mash the 1 key with daggers equipped throwing in the occasional Death Blossom’, trick. At that point I started getting between three and ten kills per door.
Not the most graceful tactic I know. It got me the achievement though :/

I think that the problem with this is that the mobs are too weak, well, that and having to wait around for doors to spawn for short periods of time coupled with doors bugging. Added together it makes getting the achievement more of a chore than a pleasure. If more veterans spawned it would at least give people a chance to land a few blows before the mob goes down. It’s no fun running up to a half dozen doors in a row, laying down aoe or whatever to try to deal damage to a mob that won’t be alive for more than a third of a second only to check your progress toward the achievement and see that it hasn’t budged.

I also think that it’s possible that once we’re able to go through the doors and enter the mad king’s realm that all mob kills there will count towards the achievement. Can’t say for sure, of course, but we’ll know soon enough.
