You only have to press a single button to see the durability of all current equipment. For me it is [C].
I also think that the dots in the mini inventory display give hint about the durability (full repaired, not full repaired and broken)
+Pintsized:
The only changes should be the possibility to repair other players gear (the repairer get automated payed for the used dark matter).
Rowena would position them outside of the entrance, because they would want a higher payment if they have to wait inside. And the repair will cost tomes.
I would like to allow players to repair other players gear in the same fashion that melding works
