There’s a reason they call them elites, they hit hard, and have high hit points and armor along with some tera gold nifty moves you won’t find elsewhere. Every instance is populated by elite creatures and more often than not, they are in groups. Having a firm understanding of how a rogue works in a group is important to be successful.
Elites that you find out in the wild (non-instance) are usually just named versions of some regular variety creature. They tend to be a bit more difficult than a normal version, harder to find yet are not close to the difficulty you’d find in an instance. The exception to this is the very high level elites you find guarding certain areas (such as almost all dragon-kin). They are meant to keep you away from certain unfinished zones.
As a rule of thumb, a rogue can solo an elite that is 2 levels under them. Of course, this can change depending on the type of creature you’re fighting. A giant for example will trample you easily but a caster will fall as quick prey. It’s usually best to attempt an elite with a friend as 2 people can easily take on a similar level elite creature. Always use evasion when tanking an elite.
