02Compare a drop with a purpose

  1. Choose a problem: staying alive, paying ability costs, or completing the same encounter more consistently.
  2. Inspect the slots shown above and compare the actual tooltip with your equipped item.
  3. Keep required level, ability choices and minion support in the comparison. Save a screenshot before replacing anything.

This is a comparison method, not a promise that one affix is always better. Continue with the build problem checklist.

03Gems, runes and irreversible choices

Use the gem reference to compare slot effects and the rune reference to inspect class sets. Read your game’s removal and tradeability warnings before socketing or equipping an item.

The reference marks socket-creation cost and higher-level individual rune values as needing confirmation in play. We do not turn those values into a spending calculator.

Common questions

Why are there no roll percentages?

Current roll ranges and upgrade behavior have not been independently checked for this handbook. The linked source provides its own ranges and conditions.

Does the purpose filter rank equipment?

No. It groups affix names by the problem they can help you investigate. Compare your full setup in the same encounter.
