a) you shouldn't need to charm in order to give them stuff
b) its not just torches, the bug is clearly evident with a shield also... a shield should act as a shield, not as an offhand weapon.
c) there are some issues with 2 hand weapons where people are somehow able to give their pet a 2h weapon plus a torch or something else, thus causing dual wield with a 2 handed weapon. if you give your pet a 2 handed weapon he shouldn't accept anything in the offhand. if you give him the offhand first, it shouldn't accept a 2h weapon in the primary. pets need to have the exact same rules as players when it comes to equipping primary/secondary. if a player cant do it, then a pet shouldn't be able to.
d) I even notice this issue on raid mobs such as when cazic thule spawns holding The Soul Leech, Dark Sword of Blood in primary and you can actually see him holding Lyssa`s Darkwood Piccolo in his offhand.
e) other day I saw someone give a rusty 2 hander to their enchanter animation, and the animation was holding a 2h weapon in primary & shield in offhand. that is wrong on so many levels (animations shouldn't accept regular weapons like that)
A. Agreed. Worthy of another bug thread.

B. Agreed. I mention this in my bump.

C. This is a peculiar one. There is evidence supporting pets ability to dual wield 2-handers. There is also evidence that players could load an NPC (let's say Brother Zephyl) with a 2HB and this would remove his ability to quad. I feel like maybe 2h kills ability to DW but you could let them DW if you gave them two 2handers.

D. Agreed, visible on NPCs

E. Disagree. Animation pets should be able to wield weapons no problem.
