they already increased the hp of all marks, it didn't fix what they intended to, which was to allow the elites to live longer. They've already stated they're not going to do another hp buff on the elites. If they keep the hp at what it is now, then a B rank dies at a decent pace to a party of about 4. A ranks you need about 16 and S ranks the same they just take longer to kill.

The problem lies in this.... Until a new major patch hits that increases how you get allied seals or makes them obsolete, Then this is the fastest way to complete weapon relic, obtain i110 armor and accessories. This patch hit only 2 weeks(ish) ago, the people wanting to hunt elites will only increase and then level off til next patch. The amount of people hunting right now isn't the leveled off amount. Most A ranks on my server would be dead within 2 min of spawn if people weren't courteous enough to wait on others.
