Which achievements are the hardest?

Going by unlock rate, the rarest are the 1.0 additions, but that mostly reflects how new they are. Among older achievements, the lowest rates belong to challenge runs:

World Wonder (0.2%) — a maze where monsters walk over 1,000 tiles.
All Your Base Belong To Me (0.3%) — beat the Grand Artificer on Heroic without Weather Simulators or Ancient Towers.
Naturally Talented (0.3%) — clear Sealed Citadel on Heroic with no talents.

Emberwarder asks for all five regions on Heroic at Infernal Shard Level 24 without an event character, which makes it the effective completion achievement.
