The Air Elemental is the elemental that you want tanking for you. It has an incredible high agility, making it much harder to hit than any other elemental. It has good strength (About equal to a Barbarian). It deals good damage, is hard to hit, and has the invisibility ability. This means you can use /pet back off to good effect. The Air Elemental backs off, and assuming that monster does not follow (It goes after another party member), the Air Elemental will turn invisible, guaranteeing that it will not be hit while it heals up
Level 50+ Air Elemental now have the ability to cause damage through their Stun spell.
