Build planner

Ranged with a crossbow at Combat Level 15

The strongest gear you can wear at your level, from everything on the wiki: judged by damage per attack (the weapon, its damage bonuses and crits), how often energy lets you attack, and survivability. Rolls count at the middle of their range unless you set your own. Put your own piece in any slot and the planner builds the rest around it; save it to keep it and share it.

Ranked by damage kept up and survivability, at the middle of each roll. Before gear it assumes 0% crit chance, +50% crit damage, 100 health and 10 energy regained a second; every normal attack uses the weapon's attack energy (top left of its tooltip) and deals its damage times its Default Attack, which the damage bonuses multiply. A weapon whose tooltip shows no Default Attack yet is not ranked against the others on damage. Set bonuses and what abilities do are not counted.
