Ok, I am currently trying for this title atm, and I just can't seem to get it. Once I get over to the northlands, I CANNOT kill the charr on the other side, and they won't be pulled. I even tried to kill them after luring them away a little bit. I am a lvl 9 monk atm, and have most of my pts in smiting/healing. I'm guessing this is due to the update, so I am wondering if this title can still be accomplished?

Level up to around 12-14 doing the Charr at the Gate quest. Then go after the charr solo.

I'm level 13 and I'm sick and tired of soloing charr. Is it possible to start death leveling at 13 and is it profitable enough instead of just soloing them?
edit: nearly 14 now and getting there wasn't that bad. But is it possible to start death leveling at level 14 or is it too slow?

Id say it would be too slow to just DL at level 14. You should do the boss run then when you are ready to sleep/work go ahead and DL. It is way faster to get XP from the bosses to get to level 16 than wait 10 hours for 300-600xp.

It is impossible to solo with a monk at level 14.
Someone give me a bar and attributes.

either way if you arae having trouble soloing, chances are you wont have any better luck pulling, as you really gotta be able to take a few hits. just look back to the guide and use some of that commen sense inside that there noggin of yours. im sure its in there somewhere!
but on the topic of deathlvling/boss run combo
what i like to do i
A) Put together a d/l then finish off the bosses
or the opposite which is
B) take out a few groups(i usually only take 2 or 3 groups to d/l anyways) and finish the boss run and if i still have enough time before i run off to do w/e i will pull one group, still got more time? pull another group...etc
and for those that just dont ahve time to set up a complete charr d/l
pull 1 group, d/l it then kill it
repeat as time permits
force quit to reset your 12/24 hour timer

actually there are more than 8 skills in pre, and there are multiple secondarys, so yes there is such thing as a bar.
holyjew888
not really
its pretty basic common sense if it requires any at all
very few situations have more then 8 and if they do its like axe, hammer or swrod kind of thing
but on topic with the monk situation
just ask your self
do i need more heals to survive
or do i need to kill faster to survie?

Soloing with a monk? That's easy.
I've been soloing charr since level 10 on my monk.
Take a pet, that will make shamans unable to cast heal area in some occasions. Soloing with a monk is slow, except against melee creatures. You can symbol of wrath them in five seconds.
Just use the walls, get melees first, then shaman, chaot, ashen claw, hunters.
If you are facing just one or two enemies, just run in the middle of them and symbol or wrath them to death. Unless they are hunters, because they have huge dps against them.
My bar is:
Banish - Bane Signet - Symbol or Wrath - Orison of healing - Healing breeze - Comfort Animal - Charm animal.
Put all your points to Smiting, rest in healing.

Actually there are more ways than one to set up a character in pre. Not to mention the 5 different secondarys you can choose from. Some things have worked for some people, others have worked for others.
So yes, there is room for change. Keep trying though, i'm sure soon you will come up with a statement that makes sense and has some truth.

As a monk, I would probably use a pet and Ben.

I know this has been answered before, but up to where i read on this forum (page 11) nothing has helped me, so here it goes: so i have tried to test death lvl,( i'm lvl 8) but when ever i die the striders/ spiders always walk away from the rez shrine, so im really confused as to how i am supposed to death lvl while i sleep or something, because i dont want to have to re-agro the animals EVERY TIME!----im sorry if this is a repost- but i dont want to got through 50 pages on posts to find the answer. (sorry if for some reason you think that is selfish of me)

well since you are Dlvling on the striders.....
keep rezoning into barradin until you see at least 3 red dots close enough to the shrine that if you stand on the shrine they will all be in your aggro bubble. When you make them all hostile and they kill you they will stay in your aggro bubble so when you res they come right back.
To sum it up. They have to stay in your aggro bubble to re-aggro or be very close to it.

In addition to what Covah said about dl'ing outside Barradin's I would add that if you bring a pet you can aggro one more a little further away. Just attack that one first and after the pet gets a swing or two in set the pet to heel mode. After you attack the others and are setup at the shrine when you die that enemy will attack the pet rather than run away.

Excellent Guide!
I am taking the plunge, IGN: Draceena Is Leet (Mesmer)
Now at Level 8 and running with Rurick. I found I spent more time than suggested with the Elementalist (at the big tower) nuking the Icy dudes just for the drops.

Sorry for barging into the topic at this later stage... 
was just wondering if there's any class/class combo more suited to reach this title?
Thanks in advance!

My thanks also to the great guides on the forums, I made Defender yesterday.
Just curious, how am I a defender if I deathlevel at the Charrs. And this can only be done by luring enough Charrs to kill the Ascalon Guards and Monk... What kind of a "defender" of Ascalon am I?
Aw well I have no regrets
