Nekros and his Desecrate/Despoil combination

[(PSN)RomanGodEpiclese]

So it seems like since the update I've tried to use my old Nekros Despoil build during missions for obvious farming reasons. The down side to all of it is that desecrate no longer actually functions now with Despoil mod equipped. It no longer drains health as an alternative to energy but it doesn't even work without the mod equipped. Is this DE's way of saying F-off, if you don't have the prime your build doesn't work because no matter how many patches have come through my Nekros DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AT ALL. Am I the only player having this issue with the old Nekros Despoil build?

idk which build you're talking about since i always make my own, but i use despoil on my nekros and my prime and it works as it should be.

I'm talking about any build that is based around Nekros using desecrate, and it isn't so much the build I guess that isn't working it is Nekros's desecrate ability in and of itself that seems to be broken. I can't desecrate enemies once they have fallen and if I have despoil equiped it doesn't even register or remove the health from me as it is supposed to. I can literally cast the ability 20 times in a row and it won't remove a single point of health or desecrate the enemies.

and you're aware you just turn desecrate on and leave it on now, right? it's a toggle ability not an instant use now.

Desecrate, Augment'd or not, is now a toggle.

You press your 3 button once at the start of the mission and then ignore it,
leaving you free to do non-lootbot stuff while Desecrate pops corpses automatically.
