What the hell is up with this achievement? Correct me if I'm wrong, but when "Power Kill" pops up out of the numbers, does that mean I got the killing shot on the Warmaster? Then just now I got "Power Kill", "Critical Kill", "Rescue Kill", and "Avenger Kill". Still not enough?

I've gotten critical kill and that worked for my characters , kill WM achievement.

Technically? yes. But it doesn't mean you'll get the credit. There's server latency.

Not my fault Trion's servers fail more than Vitalyzd's fail bangbus vid. I've submitted a ticket because that was the 3rd time in a row that has happened. I'll give an update to what the GM says.

Here's something that I haven't seen discussed yet. I believe that the majority of my deaths is caused by adds. More precisely, Volge Troopers that spawn very close to where everyone is bunched up to shoot at his back while he's hanging (remember, PC EU shoots the back spot). These troopers are likely to perform their "stomp the ground with their arm" attack, which deals heavy AoE damage. I find that I'm frequently close to full health, blasting at the WM with everyone else, when all of a sudden I die and find myself crawling along with 4 or 5 other arkhunters. I also believe that this attack often destroys spikes.

For these reasons I have started shooting Troopers that spawn too close to the wall. I don't necessarily kill them, but shooting them at least once make them go after me, and distracts them from the players in melee range. Of course my personal score takes a little hit, but whenever I do that I never see big groups of players die all at once.

Pretty good idea, Tek.
I thought about that one too, actually. Maybe I'm going to equip my frag grenades instead of bio grenades ( to slow him down) and throw a frag grenade into the adds.
That souldn't kill them but at least stops them. It won't stop the damn turrets to fly in my field of view, but it will stopp the adds from doing their AoE attack.

Has anyone been able to confirm or deny the possibility that the WM actually leaves combat during the burn phase? Several people are trying to say that crit to "out of combat" targets actually increases dps when hes hanging on the wall... I figured since the WM is still producing damaging attacks, then he is still considered in combat.

Plus with all the people (including myself) using ultimags to "green" him up, up to x3 damage debuff, its hard to tell if this is just a small con used by sellers, or if its actually true...

Any insight?

Maybe for a few seconds when he first starts the hang but he shoots at people, so that would put him in combat.

I think you got conned the ultimag does not debuff or give other players 3x damage to the warmaster.

I had a similar post but thought it would be useful here. I was just part of a team that defeated Warmaster and I added up the total damage to determine the amount of damage needed to defeat it. To beat the Warmaster arkbreak it takes just over 20 Million in damage. See attached pics:

Breakdown of damage dealt is as follows:

# Name Damage
1 Az'lia 2,808,088
2 BadmamboJamer 1,851,278
3 Sashas Pain 1,762,606
4 Logain 1,678,259
5 xBubblegoose 1,478,328
6 Sokolova 1,439,482
7 Bemiel 1,160,383
8 DevilDawgE4 980,220
9 Ascetic 880,869
10 Xierrah DonHoman 849,341
11 Lisa Luther 757,153
12 baconstine 750,669
13 Mavrent 740,271
14 vadslys 687,073
15 Marbet 676,608
16 Jim Jones037 585,550
17 Zaphire 469,654
18 Schtacie 457,356
Total 20,013,188

So for X number of people in your team you have to average this much damage per person:

# Damage Per Person
18 1,111,844
19 1,053,326
20 1,000,659
21 953,009
22 909,690
23 870,139
24 833,883

Hope this helps people
