Chance of gaining a Soul Shard when Drain Soul deals damage
Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Each time Drain Soul deals damage to a target which can grant experience, it now has a chance to generate a [Soul Shard].

Honestly, I have tried to kill several monsters with a green, and even a few with yellow, level compared to me. And during all my testing, I counted a total (for research reason) of 500 ticks. 0 soul shards were gained, that wasn't obtained from a kill. Can anyone confirm the possibility of recieving soul shards from the damage ticks? And preferably rates if possible. Otherwise, does it need to be the highest level, or should it be possible on all levels? (I tried using rank 1 and 2, my Warlock is pretty new)

To me, it just seems like it is a lie, cause, as I said, 500 times SHOULD yeild at LEAST 1 soul shard, otherwise the probability rate falls to below 0,2 %, and that is just plain stupid. I won't even call that a chance, more like a fluke, or an amazing boost of luck from some higher power. --Ninjaredeemer (talk) 15:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
