Best non-companion long duration summons in the game. Hardly need improvement.

It lasts forever and is a vampire that regenerates with quite nice stats all considered :?

If you buff it like any other summon it is a near invulnerable tank in PvE that does enough damage for you to stand back and cherry pick when your caster wants to through a few blasts or DC spells.

TBH, its not really that good. But, this has been requested a number of times through the years and the same handful of people have shot it down each time. Its not going to change, it should probably be a sticky.

"Don't even bother requesting PM vampire be changed, it won't be. Its great, we promise." Something along those lines should do it.

Just stick to CGU and ignore the PM summons. Even without them, PM is still an alright class.

Yep .. clearly not improving that further. That sticky is a good idea though the wording should obviously be more along the lines of "No, it's powerful even if you refuse to admit it. Think again, thank you."

It certainly seems better than what I recall any of the planar cohorts are that I have access to.

This comes with a bit more baggage but I am not sure how this is 'weak'. Looks like it could be buffed up fairly well.

What is the weakness?

Yes it would be pretty OP, that's a Swash 20 with 30 AB, if a weapon is given to him you can GMW and keen it which is way too much.

30 AB, 28 AC, 200 HP, decent damage.

With no buffs.

Yeah, that thing is good enough.
