Why are utility and plate belts considered top tier in the item filter?

Ultility is amazing because it gives you 20% of your flask immediately. You can stack this with you flasks in difference ways but it’s a huge help for most players.

Plate belt is nice because it is a pretty sizable buff to mitigation on builds that dont any armor due to how the formula is calculated. Normally this wouldn't really matter much since a few % phys damage reduction is pretty underwhelming but literally all the other mods are basically useless so it gets a top spot. I expect they will likely rework the belts or make some builds more desirable to use them since down the line.

Thank you for asking this, I was wondering the same!

Utility belt has the best implicit, plate belt is a pretty big deal for armor builds and all the other ones are basically irrelevant as far as their base goes so plate gets a top spot.

Op—utility belt has arguably the best implicit mod (20% of flask applied instantly), which is why it is “T1.” Plate belt implicit is + to armour. I’m guessing it’s commonly used by strength classes, and the “buff” to armour in the latest patch helps that.

Heavy belts chance to HH.

What application/ website are you using?

can utility belts lvl 82+ chance into ingenuity?

For the gamble

For the chance orbs.

Thanks for the question and thank you all for the answers 🤪

I've been using double belts trying to get more out of my charms? I guess that is bad?

You are basically right. Rare belts are very mediocre in the current iteration of the game when the best in slot belt is reasonable affordable.

If you doing a evasion and/or energy shield build, you don't have room for armor. Gaining a couple hundred armor from the plate belt gives you a fair amount of physical damage reduction from the small amount of armor. It can go a long ways.

Double belt is slept on. The charm charges buff is huge.

My flask recovers 2.2k life, with the campaign quest of 30% inxreased that is 2.860 hp that it recovers, 20% of that is the same ammount a insta recovery flask heals (unbuffed)

I don’t understand why the double reduce flask charge belts aren’t the go to. I got this belt that took my flask number from 7 to 19! And it charges really fast. Spamming flasks has kept me alive a number of times now and wouldn’t be possible without that belt.

Charm charges is underated

Worth noting that Fine Belt is BiS for Pathfinder due to extra flask charges over time

Basically 99% of people will use ingenuity. Heavy belt is a chance base for headhunter (which is tbh not that good in PoE2..)

So idk why any of these are shown at all.

Utility belt has a lot of utility jokes aside lol. Plate belt orb of chances into headhunter a roughly 7 div belt

Love utility belt, plate is good for free little bit of armour

One thing I’ve noticed through playing with an Ingenuity belt is when you are in end game maps with tons of increased modifiers, the modifier “less life and energy recovery” can go over 100%, rendering your life recovery of any sorts useless, including life flask recovery.

However, this 20% recovered instantly bypasses that modifier. On top of that, it can sometimes save you from dying. So I guess that is pretty good.

Funny that neversink uses tier 1 as best tier for poe2....
