They

really

should make required achievements soloable :-\

And targeting the weakpoints is horrible. None of the targeting hotkeys work on him, and trying to manually click within that tiny window of time is just ridiculous

It is soloable.

Thanks for the curt reply... I didn't say it was impossible, I said it's a bloody nightmare

And the fact that each wound isn't breaking after 3 shots is annoying, I don't have thunderbolts reflexes and I struggle with targeting. Even targeted skills. Have to click then reclick where I want to shoot even when it's set on automatic in my case, now imagine a very fast flight near a dragon where I need to reclick in every beige target to turn them red before clicking skill 1 to shoot. I miss half of targets. What is the most annoying is that for dragonfall mastery, that is the only achievements left.

go in with a full group?

I tried in LFG to find just one person, and after an hour of waiting, I gave up.

I really hate this achievement :s

Once you know what to do, however, she's not that big an issue.

What you can do is pick a crystal you want to charge and position yourself in a spot closeby (but outside the charging range of the crystal). Aurene will kill one or two mobs but should still follow you. Kite the mobs and Aurene outside the charging range of the crystal and then kill the mobs there.

At this point, the crystal might have 1 or 2 charges from random kills by Aurene on her way to you -that's fine. Now charge the crystal up to half the charge bar by throwing Branded Shards (dropped by normal Branded mobs) onto it (while still standing ouside the charge range). Reaching half the charge triggers the Veteran to spawn.

Option 1: Make sure to kill everything but the Veteran and then quickly move inside the crystal charge range with the Vet and burst it down there. Now you can charge up the rest with normal mobs.

Option 2: If you have problems bursting down the Veteran before the next mob spawn, you can try leaving one of the normal mobs alive. That might delay the next mob spawn (not sure about it but seemed like it), but you risk that Aurene kills the mob on her own inside the crystal charge range, so I would only do that if your crystal is really only half full so that one mob can't charge it to full before you kill the Vet.

Repeat the above for all crystals.

Once you have charged one crystal it gets easier, since you have more room to kite the mobs away from the remaining crystals.

I hope this helps - at least that's how I got the achievement on my Weaver (Sw/F Condi at that time, so not much single target to work with either).

EDIT:Forgot to mention that throwing Branded Shards at Branded mobs pulls them, which can be used for a bit of mob control - just be careful not to accidentally charge a crystal more than you intended to by using the Shards close to a crystal.

Using your advice, I got it my first attempt on my Mesmer (Chrono) using Greatsword and Focus. I pull all the mobs away with my Focus, use the shards to power the crystal, then range the Veteran with my Greatsword, and when he was down to 15%, I would push him with Greatsword skill 5, and then shatter all my clones on him to kill him.

[[BUG] Shift + Numpad Keybinding Broken]

Not sure if it matters or not, but both of my computers are on Windows 10

[[BUG] Shift + Numpad Keybinding Broken]

I should also note that the key combinations do not work if I use nothing but my keyboard.

[[BUG] Shift + Numpad Keybinding Broken]

For a long time I have set my Profession Skills to be:

• Shift + Numpad 1
• Shift + Numpad 2
• Shift + Numpad 3
• Shift + Numpad 4
• Shift + Numpad 5

And I have been using a Logitech G600 with the thumb buttons being the Numpad Keys. Within the last patch or two, these keybinds no longer function. I have this issue on two distinct computers, both computers have their own G600 mouse.

When I try to re-create the keybind to these Shift+Numpad pairs, the UI wigs out. However, I can create CTRL+Numpad keybinds just fine.

Thoughts??

Yuuuup.

Looks like my Steam backlog is finally going to get some much needed attention.

[Mesmer Patch Notes 12/11/18]

Signet of Inspiration: The active effect of this signet no longer shares the mesmer's boons with allies. Instead, it now extends the duration of all allies' current boons by 5 seconds.

Is this still affected by boon duration?

EDIT:Based on another thread, it appears that it does not scale. So we can throw all that boon duration gear, rune, sigil, food, utility in the garbage can since it is worthless now.
