The truth is not democratic, but at least now you have another story from an opposing hypothesis as you put it. Furthermore I take exception to your use of the word facts, the "evidence" leaves alot to be desired. As I said before I have better things to do, I'm currently a retired SK and just came back for a day to hang out with my guild for old times.
BTW I appreciate what you're trying to say about remembering the damage on spirit strike, but I'm not reciting npc text verbatim, I'm not drawing zone maps from memory. I haven't said it should be a 72 tap I'm recalling landmark thoughts that are only consistent if things were a certain way and that is vampiric embrace was a stronger tap than lifedraw pre kunark (and into kunark and beyond for that matter). It would be like an enchanter saying, "hrm that can't be right I know clarity is x minutes because I used to have to cast it every time I would cast _____". That's not a person beating his chest and saying, "I remember it was x minutes trust me x minutes is right x minutes just sticks in my head." that's a guy walking you through his recollection of events that would only be consistent if x minutes were the duration.
You have every right to run your server however you please, and I realize you can't go off changing every little thing on the whims of every nut with the patience to make a reasonably convincing post. But that's what was done here. Vampiric Embrace and the SKs who count on it have been wrongly compromised by busy bodies on a misguided crusade for classic accuracy.
I don't plan on commenting on this any further, as I said I'm retired and this doesn't really affect me any more but it's wrong. Shadow Knight Vampiric Embrace is working as the people who never played an SK think it did. You now have 2 hardcore veteran SKs telling you that it's not right.
*Edit*
If they have time I also would urge the devs to take a look at those VampEmbraceNecro and other such entries and see where they're being applied. Perhaps they're related to the NPC versions of the spell and may explain some of the database confusion, I've resisted NPC harm touches as well as embrace procs and they have a slightly modified name, HarmtouchNPC and VampEmbraceNecro
