Dire means - The pet is the cause of the kills, and doesnt tank.
Did you tank all the damage?
I've raised dire pets for my heros before (by accident actually). It involves tanking all the damage with my character.

No..my char only intervened when nescessary or to get the fighting going, then backed off and let the pets do the work.
Does this mean that my char needs to do the killing while the pets just look on ? (if I take weapons off the pet owners, they won't attack).
Thanks

You take the damage from the enemy.
Pets cause the damage against the enemy.
Blinding helps a lot.
I used Elona minotaurs and blinded them with throw dirt and let the pet do the killing.

I did my early training at Kryta and then Elona, although trying to get 1 Minotaur to attack is problematical..they all bunch up and you end up with 3 on you. ...I was training 2 pets at a time..maybe I should just train 1.
Thanks for your input.

Interesting, I didn't know you need to tank the damage for them to evolve into Dire status.

One problem I've noted is that quite often my char is not attacked..the Minotaurs go for the pet or the pet's owner, who in this case happens to be a Monk, and I can see by the pets health bar that it's taking damage...so there seems to be lots of variables out of your control.

Congrats on your Elder pet. I've been trying to figure out how to consistently do that.

If you know how to play a proper tank, you'll know you to pull a mob into a tight ball using the terrain, and use damage mitigation or reduction.
