PathOfBuilding VS PoESkillTree

I'm assuming you already have Path of Building Community Fork, which should be at the top of your list.

POB uses those but only those hence the issue. Before POB used to check if the support gem can support the summoning gem before checking the skilltypes on the minion skill but that caused issues as well. https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding/pull/4628

Another thing. Learn to use Path of Building and whenever you ask for advice, provide your character via the share function. PoE is complex game, and without actually seeing your character, there's no way to really help you. The possibilities are immense.

Download the current PoB. https://pathofbuilding.community/

Download the community fork of Path of Building (pob). This is a build simulator where you can theory craft and test items/passives/gems. It's probably the single most useful third party tool for the game. There's a slight learning curve but it is worth it. Plenty of good starter videos out there just for pob too, like this video from popular content creator Zizaran.

If you'd like to help out with PoB but don't have much technical expertise with coding, we're looking to improve our documentation through the use of a help file for new and existing users. You can open it in PoB by pressing F1 while hovering over blank space If you're looking to contribute, head here and have a look what still needs some documentation: https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding/issues/6093

Do you use Avast? If so that could be the cause as it has affected a large number of other users. Have a look here and see if you find a solution https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding/issues/6287

You could look at the source for PoB, or other implementations like PoESkillTree.

There is a skill tree generator in the old pre-PoB skill tree planner that we all used to use https://github.com/PoESkillTree/PoESkillTree

PoESkillTree

yep! my appologies, I have cleaned that up: https://github.com/PoESkillTree/PoESkillTree/releases/tag/3.0.3

So, I know that current "industry standard" is PoB Community, but for the longest time I was using this tool as an alternative/complimentary. Mostly, because it had a "tree generator" functionality, where I would mark nodes as "required" and "forbidden" and using what I assume is graph pathing related math, I got myself an "optimal" tree (collecting all required nodes and ignoring all forbidden, in minimum points). It was not without a fault, but it was INCREDIBLY useful tool to have around.

Ever since 3.13 the poeskilltree application devs no longer seem to release an updated version of the program when a new tree is released and instead require you to manually update it. When 3.15 goes live you can just use the "Download live tree data" button to update to the latest tree. But for the next few days before the patch goes live the button will not update to 3.15 tree. If you're like me and find the passive tree generator that this application has to be a valuable tool to create your new builds then you will have to install the tree manually:

Personally, I can never remember my passives. Keystone-only sounds like a recipe for regrets (pun intended). If bloat is the issue, just hide the tree(s) until the ingame hotkey for character passives is pressed. You can use this to generate high-res jpegs from PoB. If there are multiple leveling trees, just show one at a time based on character level in the client log.

I use PoESkillTree to export PoB trees as a full resolution jpg. If you get a crash while importing just delete all skill gems and items beforehand (without saving PoB). And before you ask, the PoB developers have said they are not planning to implement this.
