From PoE Planner to Path of Building: A Conversion Guide

Welcome, exiles, to our comprehensive guide on converting your Path of Exile 2 builds from our PoE 2 planner to Path of Building (PoB). This process is crucial for fine-tuning your builds and getting the most accurate calculations for your character's performance. Let's dive into the intricacies of this conversion process.

Understanding the Differences

First, it's important to understand that our PoE 2 planner is designed specifically for the upcoming Path of Exile 2, while Path of Building is primarily used for the current version of the game. However, with some adjustments, we can bridge this gap.

Exporting Your Build

Start by creating your build in our PoE 2 planner. Once you're satisfied with your skill and passive choices, look for the 'Export' option. This will generate a code that encapsulates your build data. For build creation basics, refer to our Path of Exile 2 Build Planning: Beginner's Guide.

Importing to Path of Building

Open Path of Building and select 'Import/Export Build'. Paste the code from our planner into the appropriate field. PoB will attempt to convert the build, but some manual adjustments may be necessary.

Adjusting Skill Gems

PoE 2 introduces changes to the skill gem system. You may need to manually adjust some skill gems in PoB. Refer to our skill database for the most up-to-date information on PoE 2 skills and their equivalents in the current game.

Updating Support Gems

Similarly, support gems may differ between versions. Use our support gem page to find the closest matches in the current game for your PoE 2 support gem choices.

Passive Tree Conversion

The passive tree in PoE 2 is significantly different. While PoB will attempt to match nodes, you may need to manually adjust some selections to closest equivalents in the current passive tree. For advanced tree planning, check out our guide on Mastering PoE 2 Skill Tree: Advanced Planning Strategies.

Item Conversion

If your PoE 2 build relies on specific unique items, you may need to manually add these to your PoB setup. Use placeholder items with similar stats if the exact items don't exist in the current game.

Fine-tuning in Path of Building

Once your build is imported, use PoB's powerful calculation tools to fine-tune your character. Adjust gear, skill levels, and configurations to get the most accurate representation of your build's potential.

Understanding Limitations

Remember that PoE 2 will introduce mechanics that may not be fully representable in the current PoB. Use the conversion as a guideline, but be prepared for some discrepancies when PoE 2 launches.

Iterative Process

Converting and optimizing your build is an iterative process. Don't hesitate to switch between our planner and PoB as you refine your build. Each tool offers unique insights that can help improve your character.

Endgame Content Considerations

When optimizing your build, consider the endgame content you're targeting. For mapping-focused builds, refer to our guide on PoE Atlas Planning: Maximize Your Map Returns to align your Atlas strategy with your build goals.

Community Resources

Engage with the PoE community for additional insights. Many players are working on PoE 2 build conversions and may have valuable tips to share.

Conclusion

Converting your PoE 2 builds from our planner to Path of Building is a valuable skill that allows you to leverage the strengths of both tools. While the process may require some manual adjustments, it provides a more comprehensive view of your build's potential. Keep experimenting with our PoE 2 planner and use PoB to validate and refine your ideas. Happy building, exiles!
