How are the points distributed?

Under linear marginal value the optimal allocation is proportional to each attribute's weight. The tool gives each stat its share of the pool, then hands any rounding remainder to the stats with the largest fractional parts so the totals add up exactly.

What do the playstyle weights mean?

Each playstyle has relative value weights for Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence. A caster weights Intelligence highest, a bow build weights Dexterity, and a melee bruiser weights Strength. These reflect which attribute most improves that style's effectiveness.

Should I really dump everything into one stat?

Not necessarily. Many builds need minimum attributes to equip gear or use skill gems. Treat this as an effectiveness-maximizing baseline, then top up any stat to meet equipment or gem requirements your build demands.

What is the build effectiveness score?

It is the sum of each allocated point times its weight, a single number to compare two allocations. A higher score means more of your points landed on high-value attributes for your chosen playstyle.

Can I tune the weights myself?

The presets cover common archetypes. If your build is unusual, pick the closest profile and then manually nudge a few points toward any stat your specific skills, ascendancy, or gear scaling rewards more heavily.

Spreading Path of Exile attribute points by feel leaves effectiveness on the table, especially when a build scales hard off one stat. This optimizer allocates your points in proportion to each attribute’s value for your chosen playstyle, giving a clean baseline you can refine for gear and gem requirements.

How it works

Each playstyle defines relative weights for Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence. Under linear marginal value, the effectiveness-maximizing split is proportional to those weights:

alloc_i   = round( totalPoints * weight_i / sumWeights )
score     = sum( alloc_i * weight_i )

Rounding can leave a leftover point or two, which the tool assigns to the stats with the largest fractional remainders so the allocation sums to your pool exactly.

Reading the result

The split shows how many points go to each attribute, and the build score lets you compare allocations at a glance. A caster profile pushes nearly everything into Intelligence, while a hybrid attack profile splits evenly between Strength and Dexterity.

Notes

This is a baseline, not a hard rule. Many builds need minimum attributes to wear gear or socket gems, so top up any stat to clear those requirements before optimizing the remainder for raw effectiveness.
