Different profiles on different characters #915

Hi, I have used your addon for years. Thank you for your great work. I have a problem. I like to customize my own categories for my equipment. For example, havoc and vengeance. Then I will assign them to 2 bars. When I get new equipment, I can easily manage those categories. It's easy to tell which equip is useless that I can sell to merchants and it won't affect my equip set. I used to play only one character, so that works fine. But I play 3 characters now. One equipment that is useful for one character could be useless for another character. Also, categories may be meaningless for my other characters. For example, havoc makes no sense for my priest. How could I solve this problem? I have read your thread about Profiles & Blueprints. I think I understand the idea. If I want profiles to be completely different, I need use a different Style, Layout and Category Set. But this is not efficient when I play more than 3 characters. I need to spend a lot of time on customize my profiles, since I need to make everything different. Could you give some advices please?

Sounds like we need a new feature. Something like this:

We need to have character specific categories. Normally, a category is shared by all characters. A character specific category behaves differently. Assigning an item to a player specific category does not remove the item from other character's character specific categories. Character specific categories are not evaluated by other characters.

A character specific category can be assigned to multiple characters. For example, if you have more than one Havoc character, then you would select both characters for a Havoc character.

i use outfitter to manage equipment items and a single outfit() rule on the same bar for all my toons so that it falls back to the outfit mod to tell me what each character uses (across all specs) and i put that in the bar

if youre hardcoding each item to a category thats going to get painful after a while - plus there are bound to be items that work for multiple specs

i might be able to include the character data (like class and spec) in the rule environment so you can query them in a rule formula. pretty sure there are also rule functions created by others that collect items that are good for your toon/spec.

Anyone have a best practice for this yet? Struggling with exactly the same issue. I have custom rules like "outfit( "Disc PVE" )" that I use to put particular outfits in a particular bag on my priest, but dont' want those custom rules to apply on other toons.
