"Save players from death 250 times"

What are the mechanics? What methods can I use?

I think the question should be: how low does the player's health has to be before it would count for this achievement. – deutschZuid May 21 '12 at 23:46

According to this website a save is when you

Deliver the last blow on a monster when another player is at 5% health or less

granted the other player is reasonably close (my guess here is within 1 screen).

If you survive an encounter with less than 5% of your health, you get a "Survived" fanfare (along with a % of your HP that remains).

Saving players would involve killing the last creature in combat whilst a party member is on low HP. Then do this another 249 times.

Can't be more specific than that at the moment as I have not tested this. This is a speculative answer at this stage. – Albort May 22 '12 at 3:05
I've gotten the message that I've "saved" someone only to have them die instantly afterwards during the same combat. So I don't think this is correct. – Rapida May 22 '12 at 3:08
I did say it was speculative – Albort May 22 '12 at 3:11

@Rapida your "savee" could still die after you killing the last foe, due to poison, which has DoT effect. – Bora Jun 1 '12 at 7:02

@Bora that's true, but I've seen it in situations where there were no DoTs being used. I think Phillip is on track by saying it is based on per monster rather than last monster in a combat. – Rapida Jun 1 '12 at 8:07
