Guild Wars 2

so after hours of trying to get this achievement and not successfully completing it I have came to the conclusion that the ranger pet is bugging this achievement. I have tried putting my pet on passive and still i get pushed back with no warning. i have stowed him but if i go into combat he pops out and the bug still happens. it seem to me that the pet moves just on or close to scarlet close enough for her to activate a threshold push back. after trying I did find a work around tho as a mechanic it should be fixed. the work around i found using the Guard ability to make your pet guard an area prior to going to get scarlet for the achievement worked. I still do not understand why content is put out and any class that uses pets has a harder time trying to do things because for some instances they count as you or a body and in this case i believe they should not since its exploiting the player that chooses to use that class.

It isn’t the pet (I’m a ranger), it’s an automatic trigger that happens if you get too close without it being very close to after a ‘grab’ attack (the gigantic circle).

Slot Quickening, and Protect Me. Use protect me very very very soon once the grab animation finishes and you start flying back. You need to use it so close that you’re going to need to predict when the throw happens- using it prior to the throw, when the grab is still happening doesn’t work.

Once you’ve broken the throw, run up and hit Quickening. You should do this before you start the stomp, not after, and you cannot pause at all so you need to activate it while running.

You can activate quickening 1 second before and have plenty of le-way.

Only get close enough to stomp (about 1.5 bodylengths), going very very close (standing on the body) will get you pushed back- the thing you’re misinterpretting as a bug.

The pet doesn’t effect anything. Just keep it on passive to keep it from blocking the visual of the body- making it harder for you to judge.
