Notes

BANDITS & PANTHEON:
Bandits: Kill all
Major God: Soul of Brine King
Minor God: Soul of Ralakesh

NECROPOLIS LEAGUE:
Be on the lookout for the new transfigured Elemental Hit gem. It may or may not be superior to the standard gem.

LEVELING:
Follow the early leveling trees and use the Skills and Items section under 'Lightning Arrow LEVELING' to gain an idea of how best to outfit your character as you progress through the campaign and into maps. This includes a mix of rare items and extremely cheap uniques (uniques for early leveling isn't necessary).
After killing Hillock, choose between with Galvanic Arrow or Caustic Arrow as your primary damage ability. Use this until you unlock Lightning Arrow at the end of Act 1. Depending on your preference, you may instead wish to use Rain of Arrows throughout the majority of the campaign and into maps.
There are many great guides in the community that already exist centered around leveling efficiently with Lightning Arrow or Rain of Arrows up to and including unlocking your Voidstones.

EARLY ENDGAME:
There are three pivitol transition points into the early endgame build and should occur in this order:
1) Speccing out of Precise Technique and into Crit
2) Acquiring a secondary 5-link with CoC Warlord's Mark for Berserk on the side
3) Acquiring a secondary 6-link with Forbidden Rite (plus Winterweave & Call of the Void) for reverse chill

It's not really recommended to swap to Elemental Hit until you have the quintissential 5-link manaforge setup with Warlord's Mark.
Racing to a +3 gem level crafted Porcupine Short Bow is a good way to expedite the early endgame gearing process, but such a bow will be categorically weaker than the one shown in this guide.
 If you have finished the build but are sitting on negative chaos resistance, use Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice to prevent suicide kills.
Remember to turn OFF the reduced chill effect when you complete the Brine King Pantheon, as it turns an otherwise upside into a downside for this build.

UPGRADING:
Here are some strong but expensive upgrades to consider that go beyond the budget of this league start build guide (in no particular order of importance)
1) Reaching maximum quality on all gems that provide some benefit from it
2) Acquiring perfect or near-perfect rolls on all flasks
3) Leveling and corrupting cheaper gems for a chance at a level 21 gem (priority Elemental Hit, Grace, Haste)
4) Swapping damage support gems for their Awakened gem counterparts
5) Acquiring the corruption "Curse Enemies with Elemental Weakness on Hit" on gloves
6) Slotting in basic jewels into nearby jewel slots on the passive skill tree
7) Dropping points around the passive skill tree for elemental-themed large cluster jewels
8) Adding an Inspired Learning to the Shadow side for more player power
9) Getting Progenesis into your flask lineup
10) Acquiring a Mirrored Elemental Bow
