Out of ideas for a new build in Path of Exile?
After a brief discussion with a friend about how to come up with new, off-the-wall builds, i decided to create a simple randomizer. (as if the RNG in the game wasn't bad enough) :p
All you have to do is click the 'randomize' button and it will give you a character class, a primary, and secondary attack.
The fun part is considering one of these builds and then theory-crafting the skill tree.
100% free. Just for fun. Hope you guys like it! :)

Could you make one that actually assigns passive nodes randomly?
So for Marauder, the first point would be a 50% between the melee damage and the life/armour, and assuming it went melee damage, the next point would be a three-way split between life/armour, more melee damage, or +10 Str?
I'd actually enjoy such a randomizer.

Instead of a program to do that, you could just ask for 'advice' in the forum and get a pseudo random build.

For years i searched for deep truths. A thousand revelations. At the very edge...the ability to think itself dissolves away.Thinking in human language is the problem. Any separation from 'the whole truth' is incomplete.My incomplete concepts may add to your 'whole truth', accept it or think about it

hahaha, i will definitely look into it.
may have to ask ggg if they have an api setup for the passive skill tree online.
if so, i may be able to give you the most random poe skill tree planner ever. lol

I got Scion Blood Rage and Animate Weapon. Sounds feasible. Will start tomorrow morning.

This didn't do what I expected it to do.
Shouldn't be too hard to code an app that randomly assigns points in poe skill tree calc. (I don't know the first thing about coding.)

Shop closed until further notice. Check out my Dominus musical tribute instead:

But why not use more than a primary and secondary attack? Am i too casual for this game when i dont use auras but 5 or 6 attacks instead?

me too, but it's hard to deny single/double-attack spamming and aura stacking are far more effective.
on-topic: nice work OP :)

Shadow: That was fun

It might be easier to get defense and dps up but i dont ever see how running all auras could be fun.
I used the hero editor in D2 and stacked all auras and it got boring 5 minutes into the game.
Hopefully GGG implements my idea one day.
