First of all, where? The first 2 in the very beginning, will only become aggrivated if you attack them. Other ones farther down the road will get aggrovated just by moving your aggro bubble over them. But, yes, it is weird, some of the River Skale will not follow you.

Ok, I havent checked to see if its nerfed, but I will take your word for it (for now) and explain how to do this, modified.

Alright, so here is the deal. We no longer are able to be invincible, correct? So, what we need to do is be able to survive a mass rape by Skale Broodcallers.

There are 4 ways to do this, and I suggest you use them all for best results.

1) Defense.
You want to grab yourself some new collectors armor, if you are to lazy to go out and find the collectors yourself, go look at GW Guru, or just google it, and I am sure you will find a map of where the collectors are. In addition to this, you should be able to buy the needed materials the traders want if you do not want to go farm them yourself. So, the first step in making yourself able to survive on your own, is getting the collectors armor.

2) Healing.
You may think that a bunch of weak level 2 Broods will not be able to damage you, even with your spiffy new armor? Guess again. When you take 2 damage to yourself, and multiple it by about 5-10, you realize you will be in a world of hurt if you are not able to keep yourself alive with some healing spells. So what you want to do is grab your professions healing spell, and maybe even your secondary profession healing spell just to be extra cautious. So once you have healing, you will have a higher chance of survival.

3) Backup healing.
We all know that having a monk in a party pretty much boosts your chances of success by .. ALOT. They keep you alive, and make you less relient on yourself, in case something happens to you, such as no more mana to heal yourself or you forget to bring healing spells. But, we all know its Pre-sear and you should try and solo these Broods for the highest chance of drops and experiance. So, what is the solution? Gwen. I am sure many of you are aware that you can get Gwen (that little annoying girl that follows you around) to run around and HEAL you, serving the role of a monk. So to do this (I will go in very little detail for it is common sense and can easily be googled.) You go outside of Ascalon, cross the river and grab the girls broken flute. You then return to Ascalon and buy her a new one, and a 200gold cape. After this (I think those are the only steps) she should follow you and heal you. There is your monk to help you with backup healing to better your chances of survival.

4) Avoid.
Would you just stand there if someone started throwing rocks at you? I would assume not. What you do is MOVE and avoid, or dodge the rocks. We will do the same thing against the Broods. So, how do you do that? Its simple. You make a formation to avoid their shots. You run in a Z formation, running left, and then diagonally and then right, to avoid their attacks, making the shape of a Z. This will keep you away from their attacks, allowing you to not get hurt. You run in a Z shape, because it optimizes your chances of dodging attacks, and the diagonal / movement, enables you to cover ground AND dodge attacks. This procedure, if done correctly, will enable to dodge about 50% of all attacks, reducing the damage done to you. Once again, kepeing you alive without the healer to make you invicible.

So now you have learned the 4 correct steps to keeping yourself alive.
But, since you now have a scattered group, what you must do is the same thing you did before, and aggrovate a large group of broods, while using the Z formation dodge and clump the, all together. You have better armor, healing spells, a monk and a high dodge %. If all done properly, this should easily make up for not being invincible, yes more work, but just as much reward. So, when you have your clumped up group, continue to dodge, but instead of making a Z, you no longer need to cover ground, do you can just go back and fourth, left and right to avoid their attacks. So now, all you have to do is cast your Area of Effect spell, heal, cast, heal all while doding. Rinse and repeat, and you should be able to cleanse the battlefield with ease. Now continue on with your chest hunting and you can finish up and do it all over again. ^^

But, another optional thing to do I thought I would throw in, is you can get the quest from that one lady just near the enterance to Fort Ranik, she wants you to go grab an apple basket, you can take that quest, run over the the apple basket, do the same battlefield strategy as you did against the broods and you should be able to do this easy. Then what you do, is begin to carry the basket back to her, and you should aggro more spiders on the way, and you shouldnt really get hurt if you have the armor, Z formation and Gwen to kepe you alive. So make your way back to her and you should have a decent amount of spiders to kill, then zone back without completeing the quest, and repeat as many times as you like. Spiders have decent drops and experiance, so enjoy yourself.

So maybe Ill go check if this is actually nerfed, once my comp stops being retarted,for some reason I cannot connect to GW when I try and log in. I believe it is an IP ban...but I dont know what I did? I have been playing legit, no 3rd party programs, and no scammings ... actually, I did use my autoit script to spam.. (Gulp) if I get banned because of that I am not going to be happy.

Anyway, hope this all works out for you all.
