ME3:LE Achievement Pyromaniac BUGGED

About 20 hours on record, 0/100 enemies burnt. I've been using every possible skill countless number of times (Incinerate, Incendiary Ammo, Inferno Nade, etc.). No matter what you do, game doesn't count any enemy you actually get burnt.
I know there are glitchs to make an achievement work (through starting NG+ and exploiting a few other mission progression bugs in the beginning of the game) but I want you guys to know that the achievement isn't working the 'legal' way you progress the game.

    For the Pyromaniac achievement only Shepard own powers count. 

    So shared squad powers, like squad Inferno ammo will not count nor will any power of a squamate.

    You may be right.
    But isn't that annoying considering the fact that in order to get every other achievement in all trilogy which works the same way (Sky High ME3, Overload Specialist ME3, all skill-based achievements in both ME & ME2) you can use your squad's powers and they do count? Seems kinda strange to me that the only exception was made particularly on getting a Pyromaniac.
    By the way, what are you supposed to do in order to get the Pyromaniac if you play as an Adept? Start a new game?

    I have no idea if Bioware did this on purpose or if it is a oversight.

    If Ashley is alive in your playthrough you can use the Inferno Grenade bonus power to get the achievement.

    If not there is no other way to get it than to start a new game, but you can get the achievement in the first mission on earth with a Infiltrator and Incinerate, at the point just before the Normandy picks you up.

    The Cannibals will spam until you don't have any ammunition left. So you can burn them until you get the achievement if you do not fire your weapon.

    @SlowBurne1373 Yup, 2 years later and it is still not patched in the legendary edition, and I opted for Ashley dying, meaning new game + for me to get it...
