It seems some elements of Season 9 don’t play well with each other. Players have been noticing their Forgotten Wisdom Nightmare Dungeon affixes would just stop working after a short time in a dungeon. It seems something’s wiping them out, so let’s see what it is and how to avoid it!
A Weak Room
Many players realized their hard-earned Forgotten Wisdom affix, which causes enemies to drop experience globes on death in NMDs, would simply stop working after a while. Some even only got it for 30 seconds! Luckily, the issue was quickly figured out by the perceptive: the Strongrooms are stealing the buff!
The Fix
The affix is also a pretty rare occurrence on Sigils, especially now that their drops from dungeons are bugged. And so it’s pretty important to get the most out of it, even when you’re later on in your Paragon leveling journey.
The fix is pretty simple once you know the problem. You just avoid Horadric Strongrooms until the end of the dungeon. This isn’t optimal, as they also give you a buff when finished, so you may cost yourself some extra Obducite, or even another XP buff! But clearing out most of the dungeon with the Forgotten Wisdom globes is definitely worth it if you still want experience, unless you really need Obducite and want to gamble on the Strongroom buff.
The other “fix” is to just hope you don’t get a Strongroom in your Forgotten Wisdom affix dungeon! But that one’s a little too much RNG even for Diablo! So, watch out for those XP-stealing Strongrooms when you get those nice experience globes and good luck with the loot!
