Question about Nekros Desecrate ability...

[Venompapa]

So the ability description says this:
"Forces fallen enemies around you to drop additional loot.

Energy per Corpse: 10"
So basically i kill a group of enemy, hit the ability and my energy getting drained and i get extra loot. But extra loot drop does not happens, energy drain does not happen either...
Ive even added the Despoil mod to him yesterday which then should drain his HP, its never happens... is this ability totally broken right now or i do something really wrong? :S

You just toggle it on. And hope it drop loot. Also, avoid elemental that disintegrate corpse. And there is the extra chance that there is no loot.

From the wiki:

Nekros emits an aura of dark power that affects every corpse within a radius of 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 meters, consuming the corpses and granting a 30% / 40% / 50% / 60% chance to spawn a health orb and a 22.5% / 32% / 42.5% / 54% chance to roll the corpse's drop table again to produce additional loot. After a 2-second delay on the first corpse within range, corpses are consumed one at a time in random order, with subsequent corpses consumed at a rate of 3 corpses per second.

Technically, the corpse's loot table is rolled again at a 75% / 80% / 85% / 90% success rate, but only after a health orb has successfully been spawned. Combined with the 30% / 40% / 50% / 60% chance to spawn a health orb at all, this leads to the 22.5% / 32% / 42.5% / 54% drop table chance stated in the ability describtion.

Wait around corpses until they dissolve and make that noise. Alternatively, max out your range so you don't have to stay as close to everything

Unless it really is broken bodies start to dissolve like popcorn rather than all at the same time. You have to stand near them until the bodies burn and give sound effect. The effect does not happen instantly when they are in range.
Keep in mind that there is no visual effect when the ability is On. Ability icon had something on it in the bottom right corner but that's it. If you happen to step inside Nullifier bubble or your run out of energy at any time you may not notice that ability is Off.

I recommend +Ability Range, especially with a Public team.

Intact how? Bodies can be shot into multiple pieces and each piece has their own chance to drop additional loot. Thay's why people prefer slash weapons with Nekros.

Nova can also blast enemies away with her Ulti but bodies are still there to be dissolved at least in my experience.

As a side note, high slash can be helpful: Slash helps strip limbs off npc's, the more body parts on the floor, the more objects for desecrate to affect. Increasing the loot drop chance

No, let's be clear here and read on in the wiki:

Originally posted by Desecrate Wiki:

Bodies that are cut in half before or after death by taking Slash damage to the torso are each treated as distinct "corpses", each part with their own chance to yield additional loot. This does not apply to individual limbs that have been removed, but only the large sections of corpses.

Notice the last part of this section. So at most you get 2 "corpses" for desecrate to work on.

Even the wiki explains limbs does not count but enemies cut into half, meaning bigger chunk of body parts. Anyway in my case so far enemies been completly desintegrated by my random teammates so could not really do anything about it.
