yup one of their single biggest weaknesses is to paralysis. If you can't make your own potions yet there are  some you can buy that will keep a lurker down for a full 15 seconds while you whack and hack at him.

Personally I like to send in an atronach or dremora to keep him busy while I snipe at him with a decently smithed and enchanted bow, using afore-mentioned potions and poisons. A basic lurker can be taken out very quickly if done right. It's the sentinels and guardian ones that give you the biggest fights. They're beatable too, even on legendary, with the right tools and tactics.
