So the level 49 shaman pet will not take weapons nor will it quad only double. The reason i find this odd is the 39 and 44 pet does quad/take weapons so I would assume the 49 one should as well. Might wanna be looked into. I'll do some research and post again if i find anything out.

I know it's just a random post from a long time ago on allakhazam but it's something.

The ability to quad without weapons was added rather late, somewhere around 2004 maybe. Shaman pets (39/44/49) would, however, quad when given two weapons.

So it appears the 49 shaman pet should be able to wield weapons but is not currently.

I am pretty sure the 49 pet can't accept weapons at all. I remember when I was playing I tried to give my pet a Serrated Bone Dirk but he wouldn't wield it.

As far as I can tell there is no DB field to fix pets dual wielding so I will have to leave it up to someone else I think. :/

I can confirm this. The pets on Live can still wield weapons.

My lvl 39 and 44 pet has the ability to use weapons for dual wield and quad. This in fact is NOT a bug, and is like I said still on Live today. For some reason the lvl 49 pet does not accept weapons.

It's odd that the L49 pet doesn't have that ability. What about the L55 one?

I remember shamans on the Crucible talking some nonsense about "project alpha" whenever they wanted to mention the pets dual-wielding/quad; I guess they always thought it would someday get fixed/nerfed.

I know that the 55 and 61 (or 62? I can't remember the spell level) pets all could dual-wield and accept items. My pets always had mage summoned gear.

Looks like they added a patch later that made it so weapons weren't required for dual wielding but I can't find anything that suggests that the Level 49 pet shouldn't dual wield.
