Your build in Path of Exile 2 is determined by all sorts of little factors that will add up to a lot as you progress through the game. While there are many passive abilities to unlock and respect, gear will be just as important not only for your character's base stats, but also for additional bonuses.

Each piece of equipment you find in the game will have a different rarity, either gray, blue, yellow, or orange. While gray gear is basic and only has the basic stats that would normally be found on a piece of gear, each level up will provide additional magical bonuses that can even be rerolled if desired.

Gear rerolling can be done by using a Chaos Orb on a piece of gear that is rare, indicated by the yellow overlay when looking at the gear stats. While a Chaos Orb is used to reroll, it's important to know this bonus chosen and the next result will be random.

This can make Chaos Orbs incredibly risky to use on your favorite gear, such as there is a chance that the better bonuses will be the disabled ones. That said, while some bonuses like resistances are better than others, any bonus on a rare piece of gear makes it more useful than anything of lower rarity. While respawning with a single Chaos Orb is risky, once you get later in the game and find many, you can experiment more with the gear you find.
