+1 to level of all chaos spell skill gems
Chaos DoT Multi (crafted)
By reaching maps your setup should look like this
This setup with 4-Link would allow you to farm T1-T5 rare maps
Here

Would recommend to buy second Life Flask for this purpose
Take Profane Bloom for better clearspeed
Here you can find current UberLab scheme
Best helmet enchant is 'Increased Despair curse effect(30%)'

Flask setup
Greatly increases your dps. Might be expensive at day 1 of the league
If you have 2 wands with +1 to level of chaos skill gems - you may skip this
Life flask
Cane of Unravelling
2.1
Life Flask with instant life recovery

You can also craft it :
Take Divine Life Flask and roll next stats by using Alterations
All three stats roll together, it might take 10-20+ alts to roll this
Other Instant apply rolls are also acceptable for first time
(Use Glassblower to add quality to Flasks before crafting / to ones you bought
2.2
Any mana flask
Enduring Eternal Mana Flask
2.3
Quicksilver Flask (movement speed)
There are 2 Movement Speed flasks which are good for us :
Cheap
Expensive
2.4
Silver Flask with bleed immune
You can craft it by using Alterations, might take 10-20+
Reduced charges is the best thing you can roll as Prefix
I would not recommend to roll it with alts, better to buy it
2.5
Jade Flask with freeze immune
1. Life Sustain
2. Take base jewels as you level up, they should cost 1-2c day1
3. Cluster jewels (remove Unwaveringly Evil from Large cluster filter
On taking small cluster jewel - add Defiance Banner
Also buy an amulet with +1 to level of all chaos spell skill gems
You can craft it by using harvest chaos reforge on any ilvl75+ amulet (5-10 tries)
Make sure to have Cane of Unravelling/2 wands, Tabula
and complete flask setup before going uber lab
You can craft it by using Alterations, might take 10-20+

Next step is to finally switch to Caustic Arrow/Death Aura. You would need next items :
Uber Lab info :
When you swap from Curse setup into Caustic Arrow - add Blasphemy to apply Despair as aura to make Profane Bloom explode work (you would need mana reservation efficiency explicit on helmet (Eater of worlds)
Vaal Blight (use against bosses)
3.2
When you have 6-Link Bow - alt spam until you catch '+2 level of socketed Bow gems. When you have it - use regal orb and bench craft 'Chaos damage over time multiplier' (or damage over time if no multi)
6-Link Imperial bow
Quiver with Damage over time multiplier
6-Socket Death's Oath
( No need to link them)

Change your passive tree as well :
Required stats : 180str/212dxt. Your gear should contain ~50 str in summary
This setup would allow you to farm red maps
When you complete Soul of the Brine King Pantheon you will no longer need Freeze Immune so you take increased Armour/Duration on Granite Flask
If you choose 'The Searing Exarch' in map device - Soul of Abberath is mandatory
because of burning ground from Searing exarch monsters
If you choose 'Eater of Worlds' - you can switch to Soul of Yugul for '30% reduced effect of curses on you' , but i would not recommend going eater of worlds in map device because of a specific mod which makes your projectiles miss, which makes boss fights much harder
Soul of Abberath : Put the Summit Map and Divine Vessel into the Map Device and run the map. Talk to Sin when you kill the boss(Can be found close to act6 Town Waypoint)
Soul of the Brine King : Put the Mineral Pools Map and Divine Vessel into the Map Device and run the map. Talk to Sin when you kill the boss (Can be found close to act6 Town Waypoint)
Repeat with Atoll Map for the next Tier
Repeat with Coral Ruins Map for the next Tier
Pantheon : Soul of the Brine King + Soul of Aberath
Buy the cheapest and use Jeweller's orbs to make 6 socket. Do not forget to quality it up to 20% before start spamming Jewellers
You want 2G-2R-2B
To figure out what maps you have to run to complete the pantheon - open atlas and enter it's name
Every league maps are different
Remove Shield charge if you no longer have a shield equipped

Large and Medium cluster jewels
Quiver with damage over time multiplier
Armour and Evasion flasks should have 'Used when Charges reach full' enchant
Use Instilling orbs and crafting bench to put the enchant on your flasks
You can buy bases and use reforge chaos (Harvest) to make it cheaper

Imperial Bow (middle version)
Bow would highly increase Caustic Arrow damage
Bow Crafting guide
Important to add Empower to Caustic Arrow setup as you get the bow
as it provides a lot of damage (remove Conc Effect)
Base Jewels
Helmet, Boots and Gloves
Searing Exarch and Eater of Worlds implicits :
Helmet
Gloves
Boots
While a unique enemy is in your presence, + chaos DoT Multi (Searing Exarch)
Chance to suppress spell damage (Eater)
Cooldown recovery rate of Travel Skills (Searing Exarch)
Increased movement speed (Eater)
Increased Despair curse effect (Searing Exarch)
Mana Reservation Efficiency (Eater)
You should be buying the jewels as you leveling
up the character and reaching the sockets
You should take this cluster when you have 'suppress spell damage' node on both boots and gloves
If you have tree points but do not have the nodes on gear yet - buy and insert second medium cluster into big one and take spell suppress cluster later on as you have the suppress on boots/gloves
Helmet, boots and gloves should contain any amount of evasion on it to make mastery work (already in filter)
Use Noxious Catalyst to increase damage
When you get the amulet - link Punishment to Despair/Blasphemy to have it as aura

Faster mapping and survivability but losing some single target dps
