Item filter for class related armor

[Tiger's Eye]

I'm playing Templar right know and would like to only highlight armor that gives armor/energy shield while hiding all other white armour. is it possible to do that with an item filter?

Yes it is, but you will have to customize it. If you visit the filterblade website you can customize it on there.

That looks like a website based on a fairly extensive filter. I just want to write a simple one that hides stuff I don't need and doesn't give ten million different colors to items.

Your only other option is to manually edit a filter yourself. If you use the website at least you have a GUI.

Filters are just text files. Create a blank text file and rename the .txt into .filter and put it in the path of exile folder in your documents.

But there is no quick way to just do that, you'll have to hide by name all the armour types that are not armour/ES. So all chest pieces, all boots, all gloves, all helms, all shields etc.

That really seems tedious for what it is.

The filter will look like this :

Hide
BaseType "armour1" "armour2" "" etc.
Rarity = Normal

So you'll have, for the sake of be able to read it later, organize it into blocks, like

Hide
BaseType "boots1" "boots2" ...
Rarity Normal

Hide
BaseType "chest1" "chest2" ...
Rarity Normal

So there is no way of refering to all the armour associated to a certain class with a single keyword?

Or could I do something like:

Show
    Class Armor
    HasDefense Armor EnergyShield
Hide
    Class Armor
    Rarity Normal

I am no expert in building filters (hence why i and others use filterblade) but isnt all the gear on the ground not IDed. How would the filter be able to see what stats are on the item? Like I know a filter can see the item level and what the base rolls are but I am pretty sure it cant see stats hidden due to being not identified.

[Tiger's Eye]

But you don't need to identify an item to see which type (armor, ES, evasion, hybrid) it is

[BelChris666]

Oh yeah you can do that. It is an easy setting on filterblade.

To be honest that website confuses me more than the actual syntax of the filter itself ^^

No, the filter doesn't work like that.

The filter filters by rarity, sockets, inventory grid size, class (currency, gem, armour etc.), basetype (the name of the item base, like "whalebone rapier"), quality, lab enchantment/mods (for items that drop already IDed) and special mod classes (like shaped, corrupted, etc.) and all manners of levels (item level, drop level, area level).

There is no filter by basic stats.
