Notes

Just a few leveling notes:

Starting out in act 1 you'll use Caustic Arrow and Puncture.
Use Puncture on bosses(pretty much just on Brutus) and Caustic Arrow to clear. Try to hit level 12 before Merveil as this will make that fight much easier.
Links:
Caustic arrow + Pierce + Void manipulation

After we hit 12 level with Toxic Rain + Toxic Rain ballistas, make sure to press Withering Step on bosses.
Spam your own TR and keep your ballistas up for maximum single target damage.
Links:
Toxic Rain + Mirage Archer + Faster Attacks / Void manipulation / Efficacy + Vicious Projectiles
Toxic Rain + Ballista Totem + Faster Attacks / Void manipulation / Efficacy (at 31 swap for Focused Ballista) + at 38 Withering Touch

For Auras we have some options:
- Early on we use Vitality, it helps sustaining Blood Rage
- In Act 2 we can pick up Skitterbots
- In Act 3 we swap the Skitterbots for Malevolence or Purity of Elements or Grace, depending on how good/bad our gear is, if we need more damage or survivability.
- After Cruel lab we can chance Vitality for Defiance Banner and add another Aura from the 3 above: Malevolence or Purity of Elements or Grace
  This is the reason I rush the Master Surgeon Ascendancy and pick up Nature's Reprisal only in Merc lab.
  Also, after Cruel lab we add Lifetap as a support gem in our main TR setup and swap the mana flask for a Silver one

About gear:
-Keep your flasks up to date, high level life and mana flaks help a lot while leveling. 
-Keep upgrading your boots with as much Movement speed as you can. 
-Get and craft life and resitances on gear.
-Try to get a high attack speed bow, 1.5+

(ps: While leveling you can get Hyrri's Bite quiver, which actually has a recipe, vendor the following things together:
- a NORMAL rarity Sharktooth Arrow Quiver
- a rare onyx amulet
- a Rain of Arrows gem with at least 1% quality(use a GCP if you get one)
- an Orb of Chance )

Good luck in the Necropolis League!
