 * In this guide, i will show you an easy way to death level nearly any pet to a dire pet. To start, you must first know what skills to use on your hero. The basic skills are not very many, and it is easiest to use a rezmer.

The Rezmer Hero
[build prof=Mesmer/Monk Fastcasting=12+1+3 healingprayers=12 protectionpra=3][restore life][protective spirit][shielding hands][healing breeze][optional][optional][optional][optional][/build]


 * This provides quick healing to rez you when your health is at 1. You must get 5 superior runes to lower your health to 105, and if you can, get the -50 grim cesta to lower it further. This way, after the pet you are trying to cap kill you twice (or once with the -50 grim cesta), you will have only 1 health, making the pet able to kill you in 1 hit, speeding up the process.

You
[build prof=any/ranger][charm animal][called shot][optional][optional][optional][optional][optional][optional][/build]


 * This is your skill bar. As you can see, not much is here, just the charm animal and a bow attack. The bow attack is simply to agro the pet, since it is an ally otherwise. If you are using a ranger primary, it would be best to go /monk and get protective spirit and shielding hands yourself, just to make it a bit easier.


 * Next step is to find a pet that is able to be capped in this way. You cannot cap pets that are in groups unless you bring a hench team to clear out the surrounding foes. Pets that are easy to cap exist nearly everywhere, a couple i can think of are the wolf outside Yak's Bend and the Mountain Eagle outside Eye of the North.


 * Once you have found it, the steps are easy: disable all of the hero's skills except for restore life, put it on passivem and agro the pet with called shot. Be sure to have a low damage bow or no marksmanship so you do not do too much damage to it, or you could kill it. Only fire one shot, otherwise it could die as well. Once it kills you twice (or once with the cesta), you will have 1 health left, and you should enable the hero's Healing Breeze so it does not die over time. At this point, it is possible to go AFK for a LONG time, as death leveling takes a while.


 * Once your pet reaches level 15, you can now either cap it or wait for it to get a higher level. To do this, enable all of the hero's skills, and have it cast protective spirit + shielding hands on you as soon as you rez. You will want to switch to an armor set that does not have runes on it to give time for Charm Animal. Charm it, and there you go! You now have a dire pet. Not to hard, was it?
