Default outrunning Grasps in UW

Hey
I am trying to figure out how to solo farm UW with my ele. I can kill the grasps for the first quest without a problem. Now next part would be running to wastes/plains. any idea how to outrun these popup graspings? they are way faster than me even with 33% speedboost, also i can't use stoneflesh aura because dying nightmare popups will strip it. thx for help

Well, that's the thing. You can't. You can run max with 33% speed boost. You've to kill them.

No, that is false. Skeletons drop ecto, too. Why are people afraid of them?

Just kill the Grasping pop-ups. You can easily pull them either forward or back, depending on where you want to fight. Nightmares can be blown away with a wand.

skeletons aren't a problem, they are slow so you can outrun them or you can hide behind the corner and kill them with degen/spells (they can't damage you through the wall as they use Bow Attacks).

I still solo farm with my warrior. I use sprint and have no problem getting away from the graspings. They only follow so far then turn back. And like MisterB said, nightmares only take a hit or two to kill.

I used to farm with my warrior also before they updated the Underworld. Recently I returned to try again but had problems with the skeleton near the 1st group of smites. How do you deal with the skeletons and smites at the same time? Corner techniques I'm guessing? Please do share.
