^You clearly aren't familiar about how channeled abilities work. Duration affects efficiency, it has for some time now. If Desecrate were channeled, it would therefore be affected by duration.

When they first demoed they rework, it did just drain energy (or health since it had Despoil). However in the more recent demo, it seemed to only consume energy/health when a corpse was desecrated.
