The allocation of the currency budget needs to take into account the cost-return rate. If the total budget is 100E, investing 60E to obtain the core affixes of T1 weapons (such as physical point damage + critical hit damage) can increase the proportion of the overall DPS by 45-50%. When the remaining 40E is allocated to other parts, if the 2E Abyss jewelry provides a triple affix of life + attribute + damage, its cost-effectiveness far exceeds that of the 15E high-priced yellow jewelry (the affix enhancement rate of the latter may be less than 10%). For the resistance replenishment of non-core parts, giving priority to gold decoration with a unit price of 1-2E can save 30% of the budget for core enhancement.
The item selection for team support class construction focuses on global benefits and range effects. If the Halo Master uses the skill necklace of the +2 Halo Range Effect Gem, the influence radius of the Hatred Halo can be expanded by 24%, and the coverage rate in a 10-person team attack can reach 100%. However, the single-unit high survival necklace only contributes approximately 2% of the output to such builds. In large-scale team gameplay similar to the Abyss Season, the maximum magic retention efficiency of support characters needs to reach 98% to ensure that four 50% retention halos are simultaneously activated - this usually requires a coordinated combination of helmet enchantment, jewel affixes, and star cluster talents to achieve.
The logic of item selection must closely follow the changes in the season mechanism. The new furnace mechanism introduced in the 2024 Fire Smelting season has increased the sustained fire damage by 75%, forcing the threshold for building fire resistance to rise from 75% to 83% (which can only be achieved through sulfur potions and talent corrections). According to ninja's statistics, the failure rate of melee BD players who failed to adjust their resistance in time soared by 27% in the first week of the season. When choosing equipment, at least 10% numerical flexibility should be reserved to deal with situations similar to the uniform 20% reduction in the range of auxiliary skills in GGG version 3.15. Regular attention to PoEDB database updates can predict 30% of the changes in equipment affix weights in advance.

How to Choose the Best POE 2 Items for My Build?
The priority of the benefits of equipping affixes needs to be precisely calculated. If your Tornado shooter builds a current DPS of 5 million, a POE 2 Items foundation bow with a +1 arrow affix (worth approximately 50E currency) can increase damage by about 35%, while the T1 critical hit rate affix (cost 15-20E) may only increase by 8-10%. When considering the selection of affixes, 60% penetration resistance affixes typically provide a damage boost of over 45% of the global attack speed in single-target Boss battles, especially when facing highly resistant enemies, which can be confirmed by the resistance reduction curve graph simulated by PoB.
Resistance and attribute threshold management directly affect survivability. For instance, the maximum resistance threshold required for building is 90%. If it can only be piled up to 82% through talent points, then a star cluster jewel that provides +7% full resistance (market price 5-8E) can increase the character's effective health (EHP) by approximately 30%. When there is a power gap in equipment selection (such as a demand of 150 points and a gap of 40 points), the priority should be higher than 15% range affixel optimization - this gap may directly lead to a 0.5-second action freeze and immediate killing in high-level mines. Refer to the example of a Reddit player's failure in the 2023 season due to insufficient power and a mine depth of 2000 layers.
