Strategies
When the Lurking Tempest is approached or attacked it feigns death. While in this state of apparent death, the mob appears to be inactive and will pursue no attacks, however it will regain 10% of its hp per tick and therefore remains largely unaffected by most attacks. It is immobile to start with and appears to be immune to stun effects.

When a party's back is turned, however, it will pop up and begin casting lightning spells at nearby players or pets. Although its death is unnecessary - it does not even drop money or items - players have found the elemental easier to defeat by turning their backs and using Area of Effect spells to damage it.

The Lurking Tempest is commonly compared to the Boo ghosts from the Mario Brothers video game series.
