YES! Don’t take it on alone unless you are quite a few levels above it, I mean very close to a grey mob level above. It’s like a dungeon mob. Do you really not know that?
You don’t need to know that stuff, just that in Era/HC it will be almost impossible for one person alone to kill an Elite. Like I said, taking it on is a very retail thing to do.
Still don’t see the hard part you mentioned, inviting a party is skill? What am I supposed to outplay here?
I have no idea what you are trying to say except the hard part is not dying to a proper elite.
Tell me the name of the quest and i will tell you how bad you are.
How would you define ‘hard’ ?
You have a mob that will beat you up if you take it on solo, many would consider that to fall into the definition of hard.
You clearly cannot ‘‘outplay’’ the elite solo, thus you need someone else to assist you, something that was hard is now doable and might not even be considered hard anymore.
It all depends on how you define what is hard, do you need a mob to be a raid boss before you team up? Then truly retail is more your cup of tea i’d say.
Then read again and this time carefully, which part of “not dying to the elite” requires ANY kind of skill involved?
Idk it’s the taskmaster or whatever in searing gorge cave
I would define hard as something you can outplay, that has mechanics, that requires skill to beat, something like the mage tower on retail.
What we have here is a stupid stat check where you don’t actually see the stats(besides the fact that it’s GREEN which indicates EASY) so all you can do is guesswork or try and die like I did. A pocket healer trivializes it, like any other open world content in classic.
If you don’t want to die then DON’T ATTACK IT ALONE, how many times do you have to be told? This is not a solo game and it can be dangerous.
It’s not retail, so you need to look before you attack, they do not hold your hand and let you solo kill elites in HC.
If your addons don’t show it’s elite then that’s totally your fault. It’s on the default UI.
I really don’t know how you don’t get this.
What are you talking about? That has nothing to do with the question.
You keep repeating the same things without answering the question, do you know how a conversation works?
Then your question needs to be restated clearly.
I am repeating the same things because your actual point is a clear as mud.

So you seem to be unable to articulate it?
Of course you will die to Elites in HC.
As far as I can see you think this HC version should be in easy mode. HC is like Vanilla not refail.
What I am trying to figure out is why you are saying “not dying to the elite”. Do you think there shouldn’t be elites in the open world or are you saying you should be able to solo them? Elites used to mean something not like retail.
Okay I give up bro, nobody cares what you think I think, I asked you a simple question but you seem to be unable answer it.
Gameplay wise where is the difficulty in killing that elite mob? Besides inviting a pocket healer and auto attacking it to death?
Yes you should be able to solo green things, but the quests themselves are tuned incorrectly, like the Skull Rock one where you need to kill a lvl 14 unique with a pet while you are like 10 and the quest is yellow, it’s all over the place.
How many times, I do not understand your question, or even if it is one.
In retail there is none but in HC there is.
They are group quests not solo quests.
This is not impossible to solo. It comes down to what class you are playing. If you are a warlock you should have an easy time doing this as the mob is fearable.
The whole idea behind elite quests was to make people join forces to do them. However, not all elite quests require a group or even another player to complete.
Comes down to your class really.
And?? What is it specifically??
I played a rogue not a warlock
Attrition usually.
What do you mean by that? The mob has more hp/damage than you can handle(with certain classes), that’s difficult for you?
And this is so great about vanilla. Some classes may struggle at something while others faceroll it and vice versa.
Most classes, depending on what elite you are facing, can handle it depending on Class & skill level of the player.
You played a rogue, so if the elite can be stunned/slowed you could kite it and potentially kill it, if it is immune to such things then it is counted as a group Q mob.
Keep in mind that there are actual dungeon bosses not immune to such things so if you encounter it in the open world you should take note.
This is Classic, which aims to emulate Vanilla WoW, it is not balanced, nor does it strive to be.
Seeing the colour green on a mob or a quest does not mean that it is easy, many dangerous non-elite quests will even tell you to bring friends if you read the quest text.
Elites are group quests.
