Diablo 3 Gold Item Tiers

In addition to item types, there a tiers of Diablo 3 Items. Tiers refer to the base stats and potential of a given item type. The higher the tier, the better the base stats (damage for weapons, armor for armor) and the larger the rolls can be for various prefixes. Larger rolls simply refers to the fact that top tier armor can potentially have a lot more +Vitality (or any other affix/prefix) than lower-tier armor.

Diablo 3 Item tiers just refer to the base item type that gets modified by the quality. Y can find uncommon and rare versions of each item tier, though there may not be a legendary or set item from each tier. Diablo 3 Item tiers tend to be far more important in the grarend scheme of things than item quality. For example, Boneshatter is a legendary Two-Handed Mace (tier 2). While it is a legendary item, an uncommon Maul (tier 4) with a good roll is going to deal more damage.
