PoE2 Build Guide Tool Free Path of Exile 2 build planner
Tell Claude what you want to play in PoE2. Get a build that actually works.
A free tool for your own Claude that turns a Path of Exile 2 play fantasy into a full plan: skills, passive tree, leveling path and gear. It checks the numbers with Path of Building and tells you honestly how far the build can go.
Free and open source (MIT). Runs on your PC inside the Claude desktop app.
How it works
The tool gives your Claude the game data and the Path of Building calculation engine. You just chat.
Get Claude Desktop
Install the Claude desktop app for Windows or macOS and sign in.
Install the tool
Download the .mcpb file from the latest release and double-click it, or add it in Claude → Settings → Extensions.
Describe your build
Start a new chat and say what you want to play. Claude asks a few questions, then builds the plan with you.
The first start downloads about 30 MB of public game data. Path of Building numbers are Windows-only for now; everything else works on macOS too.
What it does
Made for casual players: your idea comes first, not the current meta.
Asks before it builds
Campaign, fast mapping or bossing? How far do you want to push it? One button or several? Budget, softcore or Hardcore?
Real numbers
Damage, kill times, hits you survive and resistances, calculated by Path of Building's engine at every stage of the build.
Honest verdicts
If a build will struggle with your goal, Claude says so and offers options: tweak it, raise the budget or try a different setup.
Finds more damage
Tries support swaps, passives, Spirit skills and anoints, and keeps only changes that add damage without costing defence.
League-start plans
A plan for each campaign phase, with the skills and passives for each one and the quest rewards along the way.
In-game Build Planner
Writes the plan into the game's own Build Planner, one file per phase, so you can follow it while you play.
A guide page
Opens a build guide in your browser with each phase, your passive tree highlighted, gear to look for and the numbers.
Gear and extras
Stat priorities per slot, uniques that fit, jewels, flasks, charms, runes, soul cores, anoints and free-Spirit amulets.
Prices and trade links
Live Currency Exchange prices for currency and runes, and ready-made trade searches you open in your own browser.

League starters and leveling guides
Starting a new league? You get a PoE2 leveling guide for your build: which skills to use in each act, the passive points to take along the way, the quest rewards not to miss and when to switch to your main setup. Each stage is saved to the in-game Build Planner.
A Path of Building companion
The numbers come from Path of Building's PoE2 engine running on your PC: DPS against maps and bosses, kill times, effective HP, maximum hit and resistances. You don't have to learn Path of Building to use it.
Things to ask
Talk to it like a friend who knows the game.
It's a beta
It works, but expect rough edges. Please report anything odd on GitHub.
- Numbers are estimates: Path of Building with assumed gear, not your exact items.
- Verdict targets are sensible rules of thumb, not official numbers.
- Timeless jewels and Headhunter's stolen mods aren't calculated yet.
- Prices for uniques and rares come from trade searches you open yourself.
Privacy
Everything runs on your PC.
- No account, no tracking, no server of ours in between.
- It downloads public data: GGG's passive tree export, RePoE and Path of Building data, and Currency Exchange prices.
- It never touches the game client or your game account.
Roadmap
Where the tool is heading. No dates: it's a hobby project, and a missed promise is worse than none. Request a feature or vote on existing requests on GitHub.
Now
- Public beta: build planning, Path of Building numbers, honest goal checks, damage optimizer, leveling guides and Build Planner export.
- Fixing what beta testers report.
Next
- Updates each league: fresh game data and Path of Building engine at every league launch.
- Import your character: paste a Path of Building code or your gear so Claude plans from your real items.
- Path of Building numbers on macOS.
Later
- Timeless jewel calculations, once Path of Building for PoE2 supports them.
- Shareable guide pages to send your build to a friend.
- Better "why is my character dying?" diagnosis for existing characters.

FAQ
Is the PoE2 Build Guide Tool free?
Yes. It's free and open source under the MIT license. Donations help, but they never unlock features.
Do I need a paid Claude plan?
You need the Claude desktop app. Long build sessions use a lot of conversation, so a paid plan gives more room, but the tool itself costs nothing.
Can it get me banned in Path of Exile 2?
It doesn't read or change the game, doesn't automate anything and doesn't use your game account. It's a planning tool, like Path of Building or a build guide site.
Will it just give me the meta build?
No. It starts from what you want to play and tries to make that work. If your idea won't reach your goal, it tells you and suggests the closest thing that will.
Does it use Path of Building?
Yes. It runs Path of Building's PoE2 calculation engine on your PC to calculate damage, kill times, defences and resistances for your build.
Which game version does it use?
It downloads current data when it starts and refreshes when the game data changes. Path of Building's engine is bundled and updated with each release.
Like it? Buy me a coffee.
This is a free hobby project. Tips help keep it updated each league. They're thank-yous only and don't unlock anything.
