Armory Loadout Save and Swap Guide
The Armory is an evergreen, per-character town feature that saves equipment, Skills, Paragon, Glyphs, and class mechanic. This guide prioritizes expansion-complete builds and prevents missing-item loadout failures.
Save a working build into an empty slot and name it by purpose. Before selling, salvaging, or trading gear, check whether any loadout uses it. After loading, inspect missing-item icons, Skills, Paragon, Glyphs, class mechanic, and expansion layers before combat.
