Gerent Defender Lane Achievement
Because the achievements to complete 3 defense/lure events. Why should e map waste it’s time or risk 3rd phase kill for an achievement. Lots of maps aren’t “perfected” so do it enough and you’ll get it eventually.
dont worry, u will get it when u have done this meta over 100 times like everyone else.
Just ask for it in say chat. It’s not much of a problem to leave the boss at 5% for the third phase. The only exception tends to be Nuhoch as the defend event does get riskier with each phase compared to the other lanes.

Is it intentional that when the gerent dies before all 3 phases to lose the achievement or a bug?
I’d guess it’s neither — it probably never occurred to them that it was even possible for Gerent to die earlier.
Right now, the meta is being perfected and a lot of lanes are able to kill the Gerent by the second phase. Why should players be denied an achievement by killing it early? Is that not the whole point of it?
As others have said, the achievement is for staying the course for 3 rounds and there are ways to ensure that happens, so I don’t think anyone is “denied” something.
Should it be changed to allow for an early kill? Sure. I just don’t think it ought to be a priority for the devs; plenty of other things would help more players more often.

It’s really great. Before the nerf Gerenth failed so often I couldn’t get this achievement.
Now they nerfed it to the ground and I can’t get it either because it actually dies too fast.

It wasn’t (and still isn’t) necessary to kill gerent to get it. Just make him unburrow 3 times.
Though i agree, killing him (regardless of phase) should also trigger it.
Actions, not words.

And I do that how if the event fails in another lane in the first phase? As was the case for the most part back then.
And killing him before starting the 3rd defense phase does not trigger the achievement, since it requires you to take part in 3 consecutive defense events of a lane that obviously won’t happen if the event succeeds in phase 2. And getting people to wait for the kill to pop an achievement is unreliable too. Not to mention the trolls that always do the exact opposite of what players ask for.
It’s fine, I don’t need that achievement. I just find it funny how it’s either ‘too hard’ for the majority of players even in organised maps and then it gets nerfed so hard it’s so easy that you cannot even reliably get the achievements that – using common sense – should pop on a successful kill before the last phase. Is all.

Because defense events can fail, especially nuhoch. You should not be rewarded by skipping defense events.

Ask the Commander if the lane can slow DPS to delay it to the third defense phase. When I’m commanding, if no lane is in dire need of help, I’m happy to oblige.
