Recommended "Control Undead" targets?

[Accel Lex]

I thought it didn't work because it didn't work on anything that's dead. But realized that it meant "undead" tag which was fair and I saw my confusion. I went to Mountain Pass to try and test it on the 2 Death Shepards, but it didn't work on them either. I checked to see if they were "undead" and they were.
I realized that they were a level or two higher than I was, and the spell specifies that they must be below my level, so I figured that was the issue.

I'm wondering what would be good targets for the spell, and if it's worth it.
I heard you can't control them, but it seems fun either way so I want to at least try it, but haven't found any undead (I just realized I have when I met the respec guy. Tyvm for train of thought).

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Also do they revive with whatever is in their inventory? So if I loot them, they won't attack if they require weapon? If so, can I equip a stronger weapon and they'd use that?

Super late to this discussion but you can you the spell extort the risen on the death knight and make him drop his weapon then pick it up then drop baldurans giantslayer and he'll equipt it then you control undead him and he should do around 82 damage per turn

Kar'niss the Drider would be a prime target. With his aura.
