Filter weapon perks by column index

[Revadike]

Proposed change

Add something like perkcolumn:4:frenzy or fourthcolumn:frenzy. This will allow you to more easily find perk combinations in your vault or collections.

How does this fit into your workflow?

This is no longer possible via f2foundry (RIP) so I'd love to be able to do this with DIM.

I'm not 100% opposed but this is quite niche. Can you explain how you would use this to find meaningful perk combinations?

[Revadike]

I used it all the time with d2foundry. For builds, I'm always looking for certain weapon rolls that can compliment it best. For example, if you have a build that needs a lot of melee regen, you may want to find a weapon that can roll both pugilist and wellspring or rolling storm (bolt charge gives melee energy). Or maybe a specific origin trait.

But how would specifying column numbers help you do that?

[Revadike]

That's just a solution i came up with. For all I care, we can also do roll:pugilist+wellspring. However, specifying weapon perk index, does open up the option to find weapon rolls that have a damage perk in the 3rd column for example. This is useful too.

[Revadike]

Unless more people want this, put this suggestion on low prio.
I've already found an alternative to d2foundry: https://godroll.tv/

So the use case is "find multiple perks that can all be active at once"?

[Revadike]

Yes:

• List weapons that allow some specific combination of perks
• List weapons that have a specific perk in a specific column
• Can be combined with other queries, like origin trait or archetype

The part I'm hung up on is the specific column - why does that matter?

[Revadike]

For example, find weapons with frenzy in the 3rd column. It's rare to have a damage perk in the 3rd column. I guess that'd be the only reason.

Yea, I don't think the column matters, just so long as there is a way to make them exclusive.

perkname:hatchling perkname:slice will show weapons with both perks, but if they are in the same column, you are SOL. I would like to know when they are in separate/exclusive columns.

idk how best to do that with dim's search formatting markup, but my brain says something like exclusiveperks:hatchling,slice
