PoE 2 Guide: Character Sheet Explained

The character sheet is your resource to obtain a detailed breakdown of your character's stats. The character sheet can be opened by pressing 'C' by default.

At the top of the sheet is a basic overview of stats and other information. On the left of the character's avatar you can see the level of the character and their Class or Ascendancy, the character's current location in the game world and the league they're in. On the right you can see the character's total Attributes.

Below this section is a basic overview of the most important resources and stats, such as Life, Mana, Spirit or your Resistances. You can hover over each of these stats to view a concise description of that stat. Scrolling further down will provide you with a more detailed breakdown for the stats which have a bit more going on under the surface.

As you scroll down, you'll find the same stats that were listed above and many more! In this section, there is more detail about each stat. For example, under Life you can see your total maximum life, but you can also view your total life recovery per second with a further breakdown under that to show where exactly that recovery is coming from. Scrolling down further, you'll find many stats that aren't listed in the overview section at the top.

Life

Your maximum life is displayed here, along with the total amount of life recovery per second from all sources.

Energy Shield

Maximum Energy Shield is shown here along with any relevant modifiers to energy shield recovery. This is just energy shield recharge by default.

Mana

Your maximum mana is displayed here, along with the total amount of mana recovery per second from all sources.

Your total chance to block incoming projectiles or strikes is shown here, along with any modifiers that interact with active block or provide recovery on block.

In this section, any stats that affect incoming stuns are displayed, such as 'increased Stun Threshold'.

Ailment Protection

In this section you'll find any stats that modify ailment appliction on you, such as 'reduced Ignite Duration on you'.

This section will include any modifiers that shift the damage you take to be taken as another type of damage, known as 'Damage Taken As'. Additionally, any modifiers to 'Damage Taken', such as 'less Damage Taken' or 'increased Damage Taken' will be listed here.

Damage Redirection

Modifiers that make another entity take damage before you do, such as the Infernalist's Summon Infernal Hound, will be noted in this section.

Modifiers that make you deal a hit of damage back to the attacker upon being hit, are listed here.

Any modifiers that specifically affect Charms such as 'Charms applied to you have increased Effect', are listed here.

Charges

Here you can view your current charges and how many charges you're able to have at a time. Any modifiers which make charges provide stats while they're active, or special modifiers which allow you to gain a new type of charge, will be shown here. The default charges are Endurance, Power and Frenzy.

Miscellaneous

Lastly, the miscellaneous section will list any important stats that don't have their own section, such as movement speed.

You may have noticed that the character sheet doesn't have any information about your offensive stats. That's because Path of Exile 2 has its own dedicated breakdown of offensive stats for each individual ability!

To view this information, go to your Skills Panel (press 'G' by default) and click the small arrow on the right of each ability to popout a new window which has all of the offensive stats for that Skill.

Here you can view particularly useful information such as your main hand Accuracy Rating total and the estimated chance to hit monsters at your character level, a full damage breakdown including which types and how much of each, and any relevant modifiers to outgoing stuns or ailments.
