LoadoutDB vs PoB Redux

LoadoutDB is a free web reference for video-game equipment data and build planning. Its sortable weapon lists let readers organize items by damage, scaling, requirements, or weight. The planner estimates attack ratings from each game’s scaling curves and ranks weapons for a selected stat spread. Statistics are read from each game’s files and published with their source patch; patch changes are generated by comparing game data. Values carry labels for their provenance, such as datamined, confirmed in game, modelled, or community reported. Unknown values are marked as gaps, and modelled figures are described as inferences awaiting confirmation. Lords of the Fallen is live; Lies of P and Nioh 3 are in progress, while Mortal Shell 2 is upcoming. Builds are encoded in URLs for saving or sharing. Planner calculations require JavaScript, though the data can be browsed without it. LoadoutDB has no accounts, subscriptions, or purchases, and users can report incorrect values by contact form or email.

PoB Redux is a free desktop app for planning builds in Path of Exile 1 and 2. It uses Path of Building Community’s calculation engine, including its calculations, tooltips and breakdowns. Optimize reviews a build, proposes fixes, designs rare items from the real mod pool and ranks passive nodes by gains per point; its search is best effort, so suggestions should be checked. An optional assistant can answer questions about the open build and make changes, with Path of Exile 1 support in beta. It can run through Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Grok, Kimi, OpenCode, Gemini, Antigravity or Ollama. The app imports share codes, PoB XML and links from listed build and game services, and reads and writes the same Documents build folders as Path of Building. An optional MCP server lets Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Cursor read and edit the open build; it is disabled until enabled, listens on localhost and requires a token. The app supports nine interface languages. It runs on Windows, Linux and macOS, which requires Apple Silicon and macOS 11 or later. It is MIT-licensed and requires no account, key or sign-up.
