Build check

PoE2 build check for players who are stuck

Paste your PoB, choose what feels bad, and get a short report focused on the next fixes for your character.

Use this when your build technically works, but you are not sure whether damage, survival, sustain, gems, or gear is the next problem to solve.

Intent
The player wants a build-health read, not a full planner or a generic build guide.

Intermediate players in maps or endgame, plus casual players who can export PoB.

What the build check answers
1What is most likely holding the character back right now
2Whether the next fix should lean damage, survival, sustain, clear, or utility
3Which gear or support-gem changes are practical enough to inspect first
4Which claims are verified by calculation and which are directional

How to use it

The page is built around a short build-help flow: import the character, name the pain, then act on the first fixes before over-optimizing.

  1. 1

    Import the current character

    Paste a Path of Building 2 export so the report can inspect real gear, skills, passives, and calculated stats.

  2. 2

    Pick the pain

    Choose whether the build feels weak on damage, survival, sustain, bossing, clear, or general progression.

  3. 3

    Read the first fixes

    Start from the top three practical fixes before drilling into individual slots or support-gem alternatives.

When this helps

Use the Improve flow when the question is about a current character and a practical next action.

You are stuck and do not know whether to buy damage, defenses, or utility first.
You want a shareable report before asking Reddit, Discord, or a creator for help.
You want build-specific upgrade direction instead of a universal checklist.

What exiles.build checks

The report starts from concrete build data and keeps the short answer separate from deeper inspection.

Gear

Slot coverage, bases, requirements, defenses, damage stats, and trade-search direction when the slot is specific enough.

Skills and supports

Main skill setup, support links, gem levels, and support alternatives that can change damage, clear, sustain, or utility.

Passives and stats

Notables, keystones, stat pillars, and calculation-backed deltas where the imported build can be evaluated.

FAQ

Short answers for the search intent behind this page.

Is this a PoE2 optimizer?

No. It is a build check. The first job is to identify the most useful next fixes, then show details and verified impact where available.

Do I need Path of Building 2?

Yes for the current workflow. PoB gives enough gear, gem, passive, and stat evidence to make the report useful. Account import can become the low-friction path once GGG OAuth is available.

Will it tell me the best-in-slot item?

No. The report should recommend practical fixes and trade-search directions, not pretend there is one perfect item for every build state.
