Notes

The levelling passive trees and the skill guides for the campaign are split in two:

One version for league start with Blink Arrow of Bombarding Clones (BAoBC) and one without. The trees are pretty similar, the main difference is the addition of Dexterity nodes which are necessary to level BAoBC (to increase hp and accuracy rating of the clones) and
Sniper's Mark.

You can switch from the SRS setup (w/o BAoBC) to the BAoBC setup once you acquire the transfigured skill gem via lab or trade. The basic version of Blink Arrow has much lower single target dmg and worse clear speed and should not be used. 

In order to use any version of Blink Arrow (including BAoBC) you need a Bow. The most important thing is high combined damage (physical+elemental) which is why you should start pickung up BoWs (and Quivers) from Act 2 or 3 onwards looking for 
a good combination of physical and flat added elemental damage modifiers. 

If you start out with BAoBC by playing this at any time other than on league start, make sure to buy the gems that aren't native to the Necromancer for the second half of the first Act (Shrapnel Ballista, Pierce, Faster Attacks and Sniper's Mark).

In order to transition from the leveling to the endgame setup you need lots of Dexterity on the gear so you can refund the atlas nodes for it. I included a transitional setup (in between Act 10 and the endgame) to show you how to transition between those passive trees.

You can start using Dread Banner and Vulnerability as soon as you have a Bow that exclusively deals physical damage.

As for the other auras I like to fit them once I have enough mana reservation efficiency in the following order: Purity of Elements > Grace >>> Pride (via Eldritch Battery + Divine Blessing).

In order to use Pride with Divine Blessing you need to allocate Eldritch Battery and have a decent amount of Energy Shield (~600-700). You can scale down the cost by lowering the level of Divine Blessing or by scaling down the amount of mana you have.
