PoE2 upgrade priority in plain order
Use upgrade priority when you need a short ordered plan instead of a pile of possible item changes.
The report should start with triage: first fix the blocker, then inspect the next slot, then rerun after a meaningful change.
Intermediate players who already know the build direction but need action order.
Example build check report
A real exiles.build report showing build tier, weak pillars, practical fix rows, and a shareable summary.
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
Read only the first three fixes
The first screen should reduce decisions, not create ten more competing tasks.
- 2
Open the relevant slot detail
After the report ranks the issue, drill into the item, support gem, or passive area.
- 3
Recheck after each meaningful change
A good upgrade changes the next best action. Rerunning is part of the loop.
When this helps
Use the Improve flow when the question is about a current character and a practical next action.
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 upgrade priority the same for every build?
No. The order should depend on the build, current gear, goal, and whether damage or survival is blocking progression.
Can an upgrade lower one stat but still be right?
Sometimes. A defensive fix can lower DPS, and a damage fix can lower survivability. The report should show tradeoffs when available.
What if the first recommendation looks wrong?
Use the report evidence and rerun after changes. Early product feedback should also flag bad recommendations so the rules can be tightened.
