Tier search? Why not skill level search? and Armor-type search?

[Fennir]

I don't play on Test so I can't confirm this, but the patch notes mention a new search filter for the broker called Tier. While a nice gesture... I fail to see the point of limiting our searches to specific tiers when you could just add a Skill Level filter and allow us to search any and all between X skill and Y skill, considering that many items in the game can cross tiers. Also, the ability to search by specific armor type would be nice. <div></div>

<DIV>How about also adding resist types to the searches as well? Great that I can search for gear with AGI, STR or what have you but there is no way to look for resists.</DIV>

Another point:  searching for adepts for your class, but above your level, is currently impossible unless you search for their exact names (this is a pain). Giving us a 'skill level' filter would go a long way towards fixing this, but if you're already planning on adding filters, you might as well just add a "skill type" filter as well, so we can just list all spells for our class or subclass. TIA <div></div>

<DIV>Very strongly agree with the suggestion that the filter that is really needed is the one tied to a given skill.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>ie. Set filter to Protean for example and you could then choose blue to red and see all the spells that are in a good range and those coming soon.</DIV> <DIV>Adding skill numbers would take this further but not necessary. However this is what is done on the players site with item searching.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
