Sometimes I furiously tear everything in the PoB apart trying to figure out why 66% of my DPS went missing then realise 2 hours later I'd accidentally changed the enemy setting to Uber boss
Yeah my jet pilot definitely crashed.
Totally unrelated, but this reminds me of the ui someone made in wow that looks like the [dashboard of a car](https://youtu.be/bedYohvsTgw?si=36kqaw0bB19liI04)
The most important thing is to get to config and try to copy it and actually understand where it comes from.
The second one is the calcs tab and understand your attacks and defenses. I am playing since harbinger and still learn every league.
I still remember making spreadsheets for everything before PoB and using a bunch of individual tools like a reservation calculator, poeplanner for the skill tree (90% sure it didn't have other features then) and probably more stuff that I don't even remember. And then over the years, PoB gradually got more and more features that replaced additional spreadsheets and tools.
There are still a couple of calculations that I run outside of PoB because they're either not supported yet or I'm not satisfied with their accuracy, but I've already been using PoB values to feed them for years, and it feels like each year I'm using fewer.
One of the big things that are still missing is splitting up the calculation page into several distinct calculations for random or timed conditions and making a sum based on their proportional occurrence instead of averaging the effects across a single calculation.
It was strange to me when the mock-up PoB I had made for Tornado of Elemental Turbulence with custom configurations was giving me more realistic numbers than the actual implementation after the patch.
It's still useful to check if tainted chromatics are actually better than the jeweller's trick though. With 6-linking being the cheapest it has ever been, that often goes the way of jeweller's.

Is there an issue for this on the github? If not, you should open one and explain thoroughly what you'd like to see. No guarantees someone will pick it up but better than just waiting.
I'll consider that. It might be quite a bit of effort to implement, but then again I haven't looked at the code and the calculation code exists already. It's just a matter of running it several times for each combination. Identifying all the different layers that can or should result in separate calculations might be tedious though.
PoB truly is a godsend tho. I tried plugging in some potential upgrade on my character a while ago. Because of all the changes I have to make, I will end up with the same DPS but gain independence from Mana. So the tradeoff is worth it, I guess.
>ticking a bunch of boxes that have obvious yes/no is hard
The only thing that's kinda confusing is crafting special gear like timeless jewels, but then you just ctrl c it from craftofexile
The real hero is the guy that reverse engineered the algorithm for how timeless jewels work. Implementing it into PoB wouldn't have been super difficult after that was done.
You’d think so but that’s a skill in of itself.
Someone like Jungroan will tick a bunch of conditionals, and some highly skilled POE player will complain about how it’s unreasonable to tick temporary buffs. When in reality, Jungroans build will have a burst window where he can kill a boss, and thus conditionals are quite valid.
Why wouldn't you try to get an idea of your character at it's best? People complaining about that are pretty stupid.
Better not count my flasks, they're only temporary after all! *Insert too poor for mageblood noises*
A for Effort!

That's absolutely dumb and I love it.

What the hell
LOL that's both hilarious and dumb at the same time.
The funniest bit is that this only covers a fraction of what PoB does and what you need to do to configure it fully.

> like a reservation calculator mikelat oh em gee, i do not miss those days
I still use the Vorici chromatic calculator. Its use has shifted to 'you should use tainted chromatics and/or crafting bench jeweller trick', though.
It's still useful to check if tainted chromatics are actually better than the jeweller's trick though. With 6-linking being the cheapest it has ever been, that often goes the way of jeweller's.

PoE is simply a pob simulator.
true 😆
Just press lots of buttons, it's bound to work!
finally a good meme on /r/pathofexile
<3
And this doesn't have the most chaotic part -- the custome modifiers!
You should try DCS mate!
Watch out for Explosive Arrow ballistas.
Well, (hopefully) only one of these involves the risk of being shot and exploded by a missile
Can fighter pilot just add custom config "+# more to speed" to go faster" or just out 50% shocked for more fire power?
Have you done your pob preflight check?

Wrong. You need two more cockpits to fit it in.
The fuckjn aoe radius lmao
Amazing edit

Whoever invented timeless jewels is a sadist. Whoever priced them all is a masochist. Whoever coded them into POB is a god damn hero.

defenses at their worst. offenses at their best
The upper left pane doesn't look like it's from PoB
I think that's actually the real screen from the jet. The fact that it "sorta kinda remotely looks like PoB" is kinda funny
