Pets shouldn't be allowed to use weapon damage. It makes the pet classes extremely overpowered at the lower levels.

That being said, I got a huge kick out of playing pet classes in 2000 and 2001, after having gotten a Magician to Level 50 in 1999, because when I started those new characters I knew to go to Sister Isle in the Ocean of Tears and get the Rusty Halberds.

A Level 4 pet hitting for 28 damage per swing and allowing you to solo red-cons was a phenomenal power rush. I gave my pets the Rusty Halberds all the way up through the Level 20 pets because even then it still increased their damage. Then at Level 24 I'd start giving my pets multiple weapons instead, because that's when they start dual wielding.
