    You do not need Stealth Gliding for the lightning reflexes achievement. When I was targeted, I simply pressed the spacebar to stop gliding, “dodged” the attach, and when I went back to gliding I had received credit.

    • pimp

      what a pimp

    • The Shatterer

      I can confirm this method.\ ..Tiny foes falling from the sky are hard to hit

  • Ainseland

    rangers ur tym 2 shine i a gud way,,, spam ur knockback!

  • The Shatterer

    There appears to be a bug which prevents players from getting progression towards the Crystal Healing Denier achievement.\ Either that or the Healing Crystals need to be destroyed before they commence healing me.

    • Sime

      Can confirm, tagged 5 crystals in the fight – still 0%.

      • Doghouse

        The only times I’ve got credit for a crystal, I’ve been thumping away at it hard when it broke, and for a while before that reducing the break bar. So far I haven’t managed to get more than one per spawn.

  • Becii

    Is there anything special to do with the turrents for Shattering Setup me and also some guildies cant get the achievment wie tried if from every turrent pressed 1 and 2 on him idk what to do anybody else got the same issue?

  • Lorraine

    DeadlyPixel.8734 has been organizing successful No-Fly Zone runs. A lot of organizing, patience and credit goes to [LUCK] for helping everyone earn achievements. Thank you!!

    • Anrui

      When do they organize it? I’m pretty interested \^\^

      • Lorraine

        He usually starts 45 – 30 minutes before the event. Search for Deadlypixel.8734 I’ve been joining their runs, so you can search for me as well. “Saraya Nightbreeze.3907”

        PS. An Arena.Net staffer was present for one of [Luck]s runs. I’ve seen TTS present as well.

        • ilyana19

          But then, around what time would they do them? Morning, afternoon, evening, night? Or perhaps all…LOL

          • Deadlypixel

            Yes, I am from the US server so if anybody is looking for help on EU server, sorry but that won’t be me 🙁\ As for time frames, its all over the place honestly. My sleep schedule has kinda been offset due to these shatterer achievement runs. I do try to do as many as possible. Most runs are in the morning (9am and 12pm MST) As I typically work from 9pm-6am Thursday-Monday. (Tuesday and Wednesday nights I have off, so those nights I’ll be running as many as possible).

            • ilyana19

              That’s good to know. Thanks!! Will try to join in on those runs.

        • Anrui

          You should have said they’re from the US server >_< I'm from EU ;_;

  • Spid3r

    EU organizing No-Fly Zone runs?

    • Nyter25

      i’m also looking

  • Mhae

    is there any organized for NA for No-Fly Zone runs?

    • Deadlypixel

      I typically organize them whenever I have the chance (somewhat sporadic due to my working schedule and such). However just yesterday they did patch the shatterer to make it so the CC bar doesn’t scale as badly (not sure how easy/hard it is still), but if you still struggle to get in maps, feel free to friend me “deadlypixel.8734” and I will help you when I can.

      I also do Smash the Dragon map runs as well.

  • SuzukiMasami

    Can the Lightning Reflex achievement be done without HoT/gliding? Is it possible to get the meta achievement without Heart of Thorns?

    • Trash

      you only need 10/11 to get the meta achievement so you can skip that one- though there was someone in my map last night saying they managed to get a few dodges while on the ground, though i can’t confirm that.

  • SuzukiMasami

    I’ve done the new Shatterer 3 times so far, and each time I’ve just strictly used turrets and mortars only. In fact, I’ve been so far from the Shatterer, that I’ve never even seen the crystal prisons before (the ones shown in the above image http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/gw2-crystal-clear-shatterer-achievements-guide.jpg ).\ Yet, I still don’t have the Shattering Evasion achievement. I don’t recall ever being imprisoned in 1 of those crystals before. Is this achievement currently bugged with the current game update?

  • Abraham Al Polishchuk

    I cheesed Bruns Blunder on my necro. I stood in the same spot as multiple other people, I died and got the achievement, they did not.

    Step 1: Remove all armor\ Step 2: Spam Blood is Power, Corrupt Boon, and Epidemic.\ Step 3: Be without armor, with vulnerability, at low HP when dragon lands.\ Step 4: If at all near the right spot, die, receive achievement

  • Delnadrius

    Fought the Shatterer quite a few times since update, this is what I’ve found:

    Shatterer appears to have the break-bar phase after its first breath (jump when clock hits 14:17) and after every 3rd offensive breath afterwards (sends out purple flames, many damaging aoe circles). The bar animation usually happens right after the breath animation ends, HOWEVER: I’ve seen the Shatterer delay the bar animation once by summoning minions and once with an attack, but the bar animation followed right after.

    Rarely, If the damage is just right, the Shatterer can enter the crystal regeneration phase directly after a 3rd breath and become unpredictable. I’ve had this happen twice and the result one time was that the Shatterer entered the break-bar phase after an additional breath animation, the other time: the Shatterer entered his break-bar phase almost directly after the regeneration phase ended.

  • Zaire Kelly

    burns blunder seem to be in the wrong spot a few cm on map above and a few feet to the left in game. 🙁 where the commander icons are vs dulfy location. hopefully it won’t matter and shatter stomps entire area.. i’ll find out shortly.
