Dark & Builder vs Last Epoch Planner

Dark & Builder is a build planner and community for Dark and Darker, with tools for planning characters and sharing builds. Its calculator lets players select a class, gear, perks, skills and spells, then view live character stats. Players can publish builds, find others’ builds, and like or comment on them; filters cover class, dungeon and patch. An item database lists stats for in-game gear, weapons and accessories. The maker says game data is refreshed with each patch. The service is available on the web, iOS and Android, and its core features are not behind a paywall. The terms also describe ads on web and mobile, optional purchases and a recurring premium subscription, but list no prices. Purchases are non-refundable, and subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Dark & Builder says it is unofficial and not affiliated with or endorsed by IRONMACE.

Last Epoch Planner is a free, open-source build planner for the game Last Epoch, available in a browser and as a desktop application. Players can map the passive tree, choose up to five skills, and allocate points in their skill trees. Items can be imported, crafted, or modified, with support for Rare, Exalted, Unique, Legendary, Set, and Idol items. The planner tracks stats and calculates DPS for several skills, chances to inflict ailments, and debuff effects. Builds can be shared through lastepochplanner.com URLs, and the changelog documents online imports through the Last Epoch Tools API. The desktop app can import offline characters and builds from Last Epoch Tools; offline character import is not available in the browser version. The project is MIT-licensed. Its README cautions that many stats and affixes do not work correctly, and that recognizing a modifier does not guarantee the calculation will behave as expected. The desktop version runs on Linux through Wine; native Linux support may come later.
