It would be nice if The Prestige on mesmer torch worked the same as other delayed blast finishers where it charges the finisher on cast on the field, then actually releases the blast at the end of the cloak, similar to how churning earth works.
As I said in my earlier post, I believe that people are getting the achievement because they’re wiping repeatedly , not despite it. If wiping resets the achieve, then pull Spur, kill everything that pulls with Spur, then wipe. When you go back to Spur, pull him and no mobs will come with him because you killed them, so you kill him, kill the rest of the room to finish the achieve.
As of this posting, I have tried this strategy with 3 separate groups (my first attempt with this then two following) and all of them have received the achievement.
It’s stupid, but it works thus far.
Ok, so bullkitten success story here. My group on the 11th+ attempt for “whos in charge” tried a different strategy from what we had been, mostly consistent with whats been discussed here. With all the posts along the lines of “we royally failed this but still got the achievement” we had a theory to use the supposed wiping resetting the criteria for the achieve.
So we went under the wp to the pipe, killed the watcher, pulled the corner closest to us and killed them. Then we pulled Spur and killed every single mob that pulled with him, ignoring those that reset before getting to the pipe corner. When Spur was the only one left that pulled, we wiped intentionally. Upon returning, we pulled Spur (and this time nothing came with him) and killed him, then cleared the rest of the room, and achievement unlocked.
So by that logic, the achievement does work according to its description, if you take into account that wiping fully resets progress/failure of the achievement, because post-wipe, we DID kill Spur (and only Spur) before clearing the rest of his crew. Its really stupid, but it worked, so hopefully this helps you guys that still need it.
