It is only a CHANCE to get more loot from a corpse when cast. Leveling the ability increases the chance. The corpse must be completely in tact (you can not slaughter it with a sword, bow, or any other type of blade damage), and does not work if the target explodes from freeze, or discentigrates from poison.

I have seen it work, but I recommend running bullet/physics type weapons so you do not destroy the corpse. I was using strun wraith last night with him, and in a group of 6 dead enemies, 4 of them popped out more loot for me.
