Elite Alerts will be good for Roles

Easily the best news I've heard since... I'd say armouries were announced.

Really excited for them.

I'm excited for it. Alerts are boring after a while. They are generally little more then Tank and Spank fights for the duration of the instance. Hopefully elite adds some mechanics in.

We've seen what elite vs non elite means already.

Higher health, more damage and the only change in elite ends up being that you need to kill the 4 dudes in the basement instead of 1.

You will still be bored of the alert.

Yes, but theres more of a punishment feel. I don't need crazy raid mechanics, but I like the feeling of "If I F$%# up, we wipe" vs me falling asleep in alerts because its too easy.

Hopefully we get that and not "oops the tank can't possibly survive those two punishers so looks like this is a wipe"
or
"yup oh look totem master while those 4 are underground, lets see how this turns out"

I hope that throne and throne elite were a lesson in carefully using mechanics.

People just mad because elite doesnt have roleless buff.

Yes. My big issue with Throne (aside from constant bugs) was timing of mechanics. They tried to do too much at certain times and it can make for a frustrating instance. Same thing with Paradox, you had to just pray that your Tank wasnt the one that got Jailed.

I just hope it doesn't need additional tanks to beat.
