This is mostly a levelling build, you should transition to some end game setup for toxic rain which are plenty around.

Anyway:
- cap cold res
- get a jade flask of reflexes esp. if you don't use flesh&stone
- get at least positive chaos res
- get a few more levels and uber lab done before you go deep into red maps
- buy a lvl 21 toxic rain (no quality)
- higher life rolls on gear (stuff like 21 life on belt should be replaced)
- you have no gems in chest? use some guard skill setup like cwdt + immortal call or steelskin, can also throw void sphere there and maybe vaal grace (not linked to cwdt just normally use it)

How is Skitterbots supposed to work?
I put it together with totem support and multiple totem support and it seems like the totem support does not work with the skitterbots?

That's probably just how author was levelling his gems, these don't work together.

Tbh when you get to maps I'd probably drop skitterbots and use only malevolence and either flesh&stone or some combo of vitality / clarity (depends on watcher's eye, you might need a rank1 precision if you get watcher's eye with attack speed during precision, other good mods is -10 mana cost w/ clarity and life on hit w/ vitality). If you want malevolence + skitterbots then skip any other aura.

There was no other mention of how you should be linking it etc. Is that just because at this point you have now left this guide and I should just be researching a pure TR skill setup from another guide?

Can you elaborate a little bit on once getting there, what to do next?

Thanks again

I want to know what do to next too :D
And what about endgame stuff ? :o

Yes, I'm planning on releasing an end game build guide for this, before the next league launch. This is essentially a part one, which covers the leveling. You can use another TR guide for now, or just copy the setup I showed in the second PoB - it has all the end game gems and items I was using for the showcase.

In short, once you get a 5 link Quil Rain, you can switch to TR with Vicious Proj, Void Manip, Swift Affliction and Mirage Archer (6-link add Efficacy or Empower lvl 4)
