## What it is
Path of Building Community is an offline build planner for the game Path of Exile, written in Lua. It provides comprehensive offence/defence calculations, a passive skill tree planner, skill gem planning, and an item planner with crafting and trade search integration.

## Use cases
- plan a Path of Exile passive skill tree offline
- calculate skill DPS and effective HP for a PoE build
- compare gear upgrades before buying items on the trade site
- craft and theorycraft unique and rare items for a build
- import a character from the game to analyze and optimize it
- plan auras, curses, and support gem setups
- share PoB build codes with other players

## When to choose
- you play Path of Exile or Path of Exile 2 and want to plan builds offline
- you need accurate in-game stat calculations including auras, buffs, and charges
- you want to compare item upgrades and passive tree paths before spending in-game currency

## When to avoid
- you need a web-based planner that runs in a browser without installation
- you want a planner for games other than Path of Exile
- you need a lightweight tool without a desktop GUI
