About recommended builds and the skill calculator
Reading a recommended build
Every recommended build opens in the skill calculator with its skill points, stats, gear and sockets, charms and mercenary gear filled in. Hover items for their stats and switch the C / T / O / P screens to see the character sheet, skill tree, mercenary and buffs.
Starting from a recommended build
Customize this build copies the build into an editable skill calculator. Adapt it to the gear you have, then press Save to my builds to keep it in My builds on this page.
Creating a new build
Create a new build lets you pick a class and level and set the skill tree, gear and mercenary from scratch. FCR, IAS and FHR breakpoints and damage against terror zone monsters are calculated as you go.
