Finding gear

A user interface where for each itemslot, you can just select the base item(s) you want and the modifiers (4 or more) you find preferable. And then some option where you can select how close to perfect the item should be, probably best a slider with a simple formula behind it like for example: “X = 5total wanted mod tiers + crafting potential - 20unwanted mods”.
And then give all the items that fit this filter a seperate collour.

You can already do this, except for FP which isn’t on the filter because EHG doesn’t want it, and the formula.
The loot filter is actually quite easy to set up. You just have to start from hiding everything and then making rules for what you want to see.

You should look up tutorials on it, or check https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/1-1-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v4-1/25176.

The game knowing how many shards you have in stock and highlighting items with mods that you have few shards of.

This would be nice. But other than class specific affixes, you will be swimming in shards pretty fast.
I simply make a rule at the bottom that catches all the class affixes so I can shatter those. I never shatter anything besides those either.

Maybe some or even all of these things are already possible with the current loot filter, but it looks cumbersome and complicated to set it up. It could be made super simple.

It really is not. It’s actually quite intuitive. You should give it a try.
Maybe start with Heavy’s filter and then switch things up?

Although, as I said, it’s easier to just start your filter with hiding everything from common to exalts and then add rules for what you actually want to see.
