A tool designed to allow players of a specific massively multiplayer online role-playing game expansion to plan and visualize their character’s progression. It permitted experimentation with different builds, enabling players to allocate points into various abilities and passive effects. These tools served as a blueprint for character development before committing to in-game choices.
These resources provided a significant advantage by allowing players to optimize character performance. Before investing time and effort into leveling and acquiring skills, players could explore different talent combinations to identify the most effective or enjoyable playstyle. They were especially useful during a time of significant class redesigns and talent tree revamps, allowing players to adapt to the changes and discover new strategies. The ability to theorycraft and share builds contributed to a more informed and collaborative community.
