Hey all,
Just a few quick questions that I've been trying to figure out but couldn't quite find a consistent answer.
1. I notice my level 4 pet occasionally double attacks, I found a post from years ago by Haynar I think that this is working as intended but, I really don't recall this being a thing? It's obviously been a long ass time so I could be mistaken but does that sound right? Why do pets even get Double Attack if this was true?
2. How much damage do I have to do to get full XP from a kill? It seems like so long as I even touch the enemy I get full XP? I had heard somewhere it was over 50% of the damage.
3. When I get there, I've heard people saying that Charming is a great way to solo, does Necro charming work similar to Druid charming? Charm mob -> fight another mob -> when it's close to dead invis vs undead and kill both? Or is it just that you can charm an undead mob and wreck things with a pet way stronger than your ordinary pet?
4. I've heard that if you give a pet a torch it'll automatically dual wield and hit with both hands, is this true even with low level pets?
Thanks all!

1) Don't know, but our pets just get stronger and better.

2) I soloed my Necro on Live up to 103 with about 8k AAs. I never worried about out damaging my pet. On p1999 that hasn't changed. Between dots and tapping it is pretty easy to out damage your pet. If it worries you though, don't buff your pet with haste and don't give it weapons. That helps to slow down its dps. But, really, I don't even think about it. Do what a necro does... kill everything you see!

3) I don't charm undead for pets. Typically, for charm to be efficient you wind up grabbing a green mob which likely will not be as damaging as your own pet. Also, your cast pet could last longer than the charmed pet going against a blue and above. Charm is resistable, meaning recasting charm; whereas a cast pet is more likely a single cast and therefore more mana efficient. I can think of other reasons why I don't charm a pet and go to work. I prefer to cast a pet and then use that spell slot for a dot, not charm.
4) I can't remember at what level necro pets get dual wield, but its pretty early. I love putting velious 1h weapons on my pet and watch it proc like crazy.

Edit: Btw, Necros are like BBQ chefs. We're masters at slow cooking. Don't ask us to do "fast food."
