I've been assigned to kill 35 of these Skelwizen Guard. Problem?

They all spawn in one big cluster. Right now there's about four of them, and they pretty much spawn right next to each other. When I attack, I can't attack for long because they'll ALL go after me, and keep at it until I'm dead, of course.

I'm a Cleric, so...any way to get through this quest, or should I skip it?

    Best way I would suggest is to lure them, if you have a Zeal genie, with Earthflame.

    Or party with a veno who needs the quest, or a barb/BM that can tank them.

    Do they SPAWN that way, or did they just grow to be that way? If people constantly pick off the ones on the edges, eventually the mobs will all be in the center. If you don't do that quest for a while and then come back, it might be fixed.

    Did you ever try spamming ironheart on yourself before and during the battle?
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    A good moderator should:
    - Have the computer skills necessary to handle forum-related tasks (Web skills, basic programming)
    - Be patient to handle all sorts of requests
    - Be level-headed to keep discussions and some petty squabbles in check.b:cool

    At first I was picking off the ones on the edges, but then they did start to spawn that way. I'm off doing another quest now, but I'll come back to that one tomorrow or a bit later and see if they've dispersed.

    And yeah, I do try the ironheart spell, but I don't really stand a chance against four level 31 monsters. I tried to lure them away with the Cyclone spell, but they just all ran back to their little cluster.
