What the hell is this idiot talking about? This spell is no trouble, and the soul shards it creates serve as a balancing method for the spells that require them. Quit whining noob.

There are only 2 reasons why it's not working... your either killing the mob after you complete your Drain Soul or you are killing greyed mobs. Use the Drain Soul on green or yellow mobs once you have them under 50 health.

Draining the soul is something you do shortly before the mob is about to die.
When you are solo-ing, you better use some DOT's (damage over time - i.e. Curse of Agony, Corruption, etc) before applying your 'drain soul'.
If you have a demon, make it attack the mob to make the dying-progress faster because Draining soul gets easily interrupted, unless you have your talents adjusted to where you get 70% chance to resist interruption due casting this spell (and drain life)but that requires some talent-points.
