Path of Building: Offline Build Planner [v1.4.71]

I have three feature requests, feel free to ignore any or all of them if they are not feasible to implement.


(a) Minor: Show a "Mana Bounded Cast Rate" (better name probably needed?); i.e. how many times per second can you cast a skill indefinitely, taking your mana regeneration rate into account. For example, let's say a skill costs 50 mana, you regenerate 100 mana per second, and you have a cast rate of 3 per second. The "Mana Bounded Cast Rate" would actually be 2 per second, because you can't sustain 3 casts/sec indefinitely.



(b) Import an item that's listed on poe.trade (or pathofexile.com/trade). I often search for alternate gear pieces on trade sites, and I want to see what effect they will have on my character before I buy them. To my knowledge the only way to do this currently is to make a new rare item and copy all the properties from a trade site manually.

I don't know if or how much collaboration this would require with trade site devs; for example if the trade site offered to export the item stats as text the problem would be solved since PoB can already import that. Let me know if I'm barking at the wrong tree here.



(c) Allow me to link a character to a saved build. Then have a "refresh" button to update the saved build with new character data from the API. Yes, I know character import exists; but that requires me to type in my account name, select the character, import tree, and import items. I would love to have this all done with one click, if I'm just re-importing the same character.

Some consideration would have to be taken in case I have added some alternate or optional items/skill setups; I would like these to be preserved when I re-import the build.
