Tried it as well, though only for an afternoon - so just a bit. Made it to level 9 pretty quickly.
It was fun for a little bit, but I was maybe seeing 1.5 proc average per fight depending on its length. Usually had two procs of vampiric embrace. I know different weapons probably have different ppm, but any proc that would actually make a difference is gated by level and coin anyway. This might be fun for someone rolling around with the undead staff - in a fight lasting long enough to proc it, but otherwise it’s just not gonna be that fun.
Now if I could have the dagger of conflagration from kunark... maybe.
Also I think comparing it’s damage output to a charm pet is a little misleading. Like was that charm pet haste buffed + item haste, dex buffed, and given proc weapons ? Because otherwise it’s not doing it’s full potential either
