## Description

PathOfBuilding is an offline build planner and character stat simulator for Path of Exile. It functions as a gear and skill modeler and a passive tree mapper to help users design characters by simulating combat statistics, passive skill trees, and gear combinations.

The tool provides a simulation environment for testing item crafting outcomes and gem socket combinations to determine optimal loadouts. It also enables passive tree optimization by planning node allocations and jewel placements to maximize character power.

The software covers character stat simulation for offensive and defensive values, itemization and crafting modeling, and the ability to import character data or share build configurations via unique codes.
