possible bug in gear advisor

[bashkar]

hi, i noticed the gear advisor seems to favor armor with +spell damage vs stats. the main issue i have with it is it keeps recommending me items with +fire damage or +shadow damage as upgrades.

This is a topic in the gear advisor post below this, im pretty sure they wont do anything and will tell you to Shift click the decline button to make a report.
Think it needs a lot of work but they want us to report it draw it out slowly rather then write up a new system.

The system does not differentiate between different types of spell power. It only looks at the number, not the type. If it suggests something with a spell type that you do not want just decline the suggestion and that item will then be ignored.

ATTENTION ZG Support.
You know why people use Zygors guides.
Because we are lazy and want to be told what to do. Making a gear advisor that is STUPID Friendly would be great for us people who use a guide to play a video game. Just a thought.

Add a gear advisor and make all kinds of different specs, ill 2.99 a month Extra for something dummy proof.
