Datamining is no issue. Diablohub has all the items datamined, PLUS a community behind it to explain certain additional factors that can't be datamined like internal cooldowns or proc mechanics. Diablo3ladder has a view of the "current best items" which seems to be closest to what Diacollector is going for, but unlike Diacollector's small DB (2000 items) it has already more than 6 million. D3MaxStats has everything you need to know about affixes as well.
Not saying Diacollector isn't nice - but for a community-driven project you need to gain critical mass to become large enough such that the data reaches a tipping point at which it's fairly accurate due to the large sample size. And to get there, you need a unique selling point such that people feel a reason to engage in this community-driven project rather than a different one, like Diablohub or Diablo3ladder. Right now I fail to see what Diacollector's USP is, but I've bookmarked it and will check it from time to time in the future. For now, there are better sources for item stats and affixes out there.
I see. Fair enough. It seems to me that you are very well informed, which is great, plus it was just a suggestion anyways =D
This is something we 100% want to do, but we can not right now. We currently do not datamine items. The tooltips for items are currently grabbed from the live DB. Thus we have no way for you to select affixes. That is why we made a build type. you can select the import affix types you want the person to build on gear.
Once we get items datamined, it will be something we want to add!
It is very nice to know that it is something you want to add in the future. You will face some datamining obstacles, if you happen to need help the author of the following database might be able to help you =http://diacollector.com/, he is a nice guy.
unfortunately, unless im missing something, they are all missing all the affixes per item. Also PTR has changed the format of the files.
Yes i know, and yes you are missing something. First, Diacollector is community-driven, and because of that, if there is say 10 people playing the data will be collected 10 times faster, 100 people playing = data collected 100 times faster, you get the idea. Second, yes affixes are currently not being stored in the database, but they could be with a mere change in the code, or even a simple switch. Although the author is a cool guy, we/you would need to talk to him to see if he will be able to help.

Hi i came here to give some feedback and ask for some features.
Great project this is! I was creating my build and when i reached the Item-selection section i realized something very important. To achieve the highest potential of some builds, usually the best ones, it is required not only a specific item, but also a specific affix or even multiple specific affixes in the same item. To fix this my suggestion is to introduce a "Affix build" section right below the "Item build" section.
Last but not less important, I feel that the same variety offered (allowing the creator to advise up to 3 options per slot) in the Item build section should be offered as well in the Skill build and Stats build sections. This way the creator could offer some Skill,Item and Affix variations without having to create multiple build-entrancesin the website to basically show what isessentiallythesame thingwith gentle modifications/variations.
If there is I couldn't find it, but a good idea is to implement an option/button to copy as much data as possible from battle.net profile section, Say i type the Battletag select the hero and then it autofills everything.
Please add these, it will be of very much help to the build's creator.
