My best guess when this was acutally nerfed: 2 months post velious release to five months at best.
Uber pet damage indeed, but considering this was a thing in kunark and pet classes haven't been able to utilize it at all even though this was during the timeline.

I'm not so sure about the when this stopped working. I found this post here from 2004 from elitegamerslounge saying they were able to equip a weighted axe and get 103 hits.

I decided to play with weapons and pets a little while ago. Gave a weighted ax to my lvl 56 monk pet (axes sell for about 20pp each on my server), pet was hitting for 103, the 150 delay doesnt effect pets.

You cant give pets no drops so had to have been the regular one. Even on FV where nothing is no drop pets still follow normal rules and cant wield No Drop weapons. There are still a number of 40+ damage weapons that will work which are nice. I usually use big 2 handers up until lvl 34 pets and have done so on every mage/necro/BL I have played. Even if pet can dual wield it doesnt mean he should. Also for a laugh anyone tried a full set of 450 HP dwerium gear lol. That would be 3600 HPs from those 8 pieces not counting prime belt :P
Best bet for pet weapon is a Weighted Axe (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=11543) from the giant fort in Frontier Mountains.
45 base dmg plus 196 damage bonus is pure own at lower levels. Nice if it had HP. No biggie though. As mentioned in another thread, an easy way to level shrouds (if you so desire) is to kill in Upper Guk to get the brazier that has a charge of Summon Fire Elemental pet, shroud to level 10 or so, get a Forgotten Halls instance, click the brazier to make pet, give pet pet armor and that spiffy Weighted Axe and then just go to town on the bats.
The pet will mow them down.
Lots of people prefer proccing pet twink weapons. I just like weighted axe because I can get it in like 5 min at the giant fort, and can collect multiples to have one on hand in the bank.
Anyhow, works the same for regular pet as for this clicky-item pet. Give him armor, give him axe, and get the eff outta the way.

So I think it's safe to say that IT was possible to do, just a matter of when it stopped. Either way, it clearly should be in the timeline now. So Bump for awareness.
