Mage: Pet damage cap/damage formula
 

I put a 17 damage 2h on my pet at level 4 and he was hitting for 35 max hit. Obviously this is way higher than the damage cap players have at similar levels. Does anyone know if there is a cap or what the formula is? If I give him a Weighted Axe is he going to hit for like 80-90?

Formula is (weapon damage * 2 ) +1. It will only apply if your pets innate damage is lower than what the formula gives which is why the pet started hitting 35s with a 17 damage weapon. AFAIK delay is unaffected and weighted axe is the only weapon nerfed by this (pet simply will not equip it). Not sure if there is a cap but good weapons to do this with are cheap 2handers like the baton of faith.

Fire rune brand is a good one

Pets SHOULD be able to equip a Weighted Axe and do 90 DMG. However they cannot equip them on this server.

I've had that bug post and another one going for 3 or so years now.

God I wish, that would be fantastic ha

My red server dreams have been ruined.

So can pets dual wield 2h weapons currently? Is the only issue is being able to equip a weight axe? I haven't even tried this on my mage.

Both are issues.

I'm more concerned with the weighted axe over them DWing them though.

I also think it's about time that pets stop dual wielding with torches/offhand items.

So question. I'm new to server but thinking of playing a necro or mage. What is a decent cheap wep for destroying the world in? Least till I get my basic spells that define my class.

Every weapon you give either of those pets can't be looted back so you're limited to leveling out of a previous pet level and in invalidating the pet you already have or having your pet die in combat and losing the wep.

Consider something cheap enough to give to your pet for 4 levels at a time.
