Path of Building 2.15.1

Path of Exile is one of the best ARPGs out there right now due to its sheer diversity and flexibility in builds that no other game can match right now, but it's also safe to say that it's one of the most intimidating to get into. The skill tree, or rather the skill forest as it's refered to as, is intimidating in its sheer vastness and size. On top of that, it's a bit of a mystery how the game's various stat calculations are handled. Thankfully, the community has created a tool to fix all of that - Path of Building.

To install Path of Building, simply run the executable and install it to where you want.

This tool's main page has the entire Path of Exile tree on it, where you can plan out your build. Each of the nodes will tell you how it affects your current stats, which is incredibly helpful because the game can get frustratingly obtuse when you try to suss out whether a % boost or a flat boost is better in certain cases. On top of that, you can add gear in a separate tab so you can try out whatever build you're feeling at the moment and see exactly what your endgame stats would look like, so you can make sure if you have enough resistances, life, and damage to survive the notoriously punishing endgame.

What's more, practically every build guide on the forums will have a link to let you import their builds into this tool, as it is very well known throughout the community. If you play Path of Exile at all, Path of Building is a vital tool.
