Funny thing is, I'm on the PS3 and it still takes a good minute or two for the marks to appear. By that time, they're already dead. Thank goodness for non-target weaponskills, or I'd completely give up on hunting.

SE, you have yet to properly fix The Hunt in regards to hunting Elite Marks. Please make all Elite Marks have top priority appearance, followed by party members (including pets) and randoms. Elite Marks should never vanish into thin air when they're still alive and kicking, especially in mid-combat.
