About BrokenBuilds
BrokenBuilds is a build calculator site for games with deep character systems. The kind where you spend an hour picking talents and another hour wondering if your weapon swap actually beats your old one. Every tool here is hands-on; pick a class, swap a stat, watch the math move.
We focus on games where the build is the game. The optimization puzzle, the patch-to-patch meta shift, the moment you realize a weapon you’d written off scales harder than the one you’ve been farming. Static guides go stale the week a patch drops; tools that run the formula every time you touch an input don’t.
What you can do here
- Build calculators: plug in your gear, skills, and stats. Real DPS, real damage breakdowns, formulas pulled from datamining and community testing.
- Skill tree planners: allocate points, check prerequisites, compare paths before you commit in-game.
- Tier lists: community-sourced rankings, refreshed each patch. Grid view for quick reads, sortable table for the detail-obsessed.
- Build guides: opinionated picks with the math behind each call, not a screenshot of the final loadout.
Games we cover
Where the data comes from
Every formula, stat, and ranking on this site is sourced from datamining, community wikis, official patch notes, or verified community testing. When the data isn’t there, we leave the gap and say so; we don’t fill it with plausible-looking numbers. Pages carry a “last reviewed” timestamp so you know whether what you’re reading still applies to your patch.
Patch cadence
Tier lists get re-reviewed each patch. Build pages carry the game version they were validated against, so a build tagged for v1.02 is honest about what version it works in. If the meta shifts, the ranking shifts.
