Guide:Theoretical maximum stats

From Path of Exile 2 Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a guide on the subject of cataloguing theoretical stat maximums.

Last updated on August 27, 2025.

This page collects the maximum achieveable level for specific stat targets. This means:

  • The listed stat is possible on a real character in that league (ie no wearing multiple helmets)
  • Actual viability of achieving the stat (price, survivability, etc.) is not considered

Although none of these builds are useful on their own, a build creator can use this for reference for sources of desirable stats. Maximum stats shown below are on a "best effort" basis - they may be inaccurate, feel free to contribute to improve them.

Stylistic choices made:

  • For stats which can be scaled by "enemy damage taken" and more damage modifiers, these are included in said stat's breakdown.
    • A complete build would require balancing all multiplicative and additive stats (such as increased damage, etc.)
    • For the purposes of build reference usefulness, a stat maximizing builder will likely not want to take more of a damage stat if it gives less damage compared to the opportunity cost.
    • Increased modifiers are very numerous (reducing readability) and less likely to have an outsized impact (for most builds) compared to "more" and "enemy damage taken" modifiers.
    • Therefore, only "enemy damage taken" and "more" modifiers are considered for tradeoffs for effective stat maximums.
