This is my favourite race, it's damn hard but only because it's fast-paced unlike regular PoE.

As you can see from my gear, nothing MVP at all except maybe the +all res quicksilver which saved me from dying a couple times.

HELPFUL TIP
Know the experience penalty threshold:
- Lv 1-15 you can be 3 levels below the zone and still get full EXP
- Lv 16+ you can be 4 levels below the zone and still get full EXP

Once you've got defensive gear in the important slots you progress exclusively from blue packs and very rarely some dense white packs for flask charges. Tomb of Statues sucks in particular, I usually skip the whole zone once I'm level 10 and catch up the next zone on the monkeys.

The final zone jumps from Lv28 to Lv32. The experience penalty will be very high if you are not at least level 26 by the end of Demonic Shrine. To prepare for this I start full clearing from Hall of Heroes onwards.
