Diablofans.com adds that Patch 2.5.0, which is just right around the corner, has new features such as The Armory, Primal Ancients and other quality-of-life updates that players of the upcoming “Diablo 3” Season 10 would need. With The Armory, gamers could store up to five complete character builds on every character. It allows them to swap seamlessly between set items, runes, skills and gems with one click of a button. But the Armory disallows storing of Paragon points which must be redistributed by the players if they have a preference with their build.
