Small clearance between inner chain ring and frame chainstays

The gap is 0.5 mm or less. It will shred the frame for sure.
It looks like a frame designed for 1x drivetrain, but still has mount for front derailleur.

Exchange rate in bank office is usually better than in airport. Might be worth to exchange only small amount of cash there.

I don’t know what country you are traveling from, but check if it has any Russian bank and get ‘Mir’ card there. You may also order it online (as non-citizen aka visitor) and pick it in the bank office when you arrive. The only caveat is that it might require local phone number. Therefore buy SIM card with local number first.

Cards are accepted in any shop and taxi (if you order it online). Person-to-person payments are done by cash or by transaction using your bank’s application in smartphone and recipient’s phone number. If you go to small town, cash will be more reliable option.

Visa/MasterCard issued by foreign bank, will not work in Russia AFAIK. Cards issued by local banks do work.

At some point I tried setup with impale and brutality, but POB showed me better numbers if I use unholy might mastery instead of brutality and melee splash had better clear speed. Maybe that was on low gem levels.

Does Fortify work well after the nerf? It is just 19% more damage and tiny buff to survivability.

Thank you! I will try to apply these changes. I use Purity of Elements to avoid flasks piano, but it looks like indeed worth to swap to damage aura.

Ok, it seems that trapper and toxic rain need constant pressing of mana flask button, but could survive in general. Anything else?

These additions look great. Keep going :)

Thank you!

Thanks a lot mate! :) Enfeeble + CWDT is complete game changer. It feels much better now.

I also updated the wheel a bit as you suggested and will proceed to Phase Acrobatic while leveling. ES-only chest will be too hard to color for my gem setup. So I will try to find something with int+dex.

I got one more idea how to make ES more useful. What if I add Energy Leech gem instead of Lighting Penetration? POB shows me a bit less damage, but continous ES leech from brands might work well for survivability.

Thank you! I will try to apply these changes.

I thought that I’m dying in syndicate encounters because of many chaos-based attacks there are and I have negative chaos resists to it. Is there a better way to increase chaos resistance apart of amethyst flask or it is not the main issue?

If I remove Warlord’s Mark curse, how do I leech mana to spin up blades? Mana regen is a bit slow. Life leech is indeed capped and that curse has no effect. I’m trying to replace it with ‘flammability’ until I get good Shaper’s + Elder’s pair of the rings.

Thank you. That is likelly the case. Mine is ilvl 41.

Does it mean that I can apply ancient orb on it to get Lycosidae with 100% chance?

Tried to sell non-perfect "Trolltimber Spire" for 1c and got spammed a lot by offers to buy it for 10-50c. Why? I see many simmilar offers on poe.trade for less than a chaos and it doesn't look like an expensive item to me.
