Good question. It was skills based, not pet-level-summon based. Sometimes the highest summon of the previous circle would have a high enough skill while the lowest of the current circle would not.

Examples are auto-dual-wield and offhand-double-attack. Classically the highest 39 pet would have these (just offhand-double-attack at first, then auto-dual-wield later on) but the lowest 44 pets would not. This was fixed later by tightening the level range of the 44 summons from 33-37 to 36-37 (I found a dev post from Absor about it). Level 36+ pets (as in, their actual level) would have these abilities but level 35 and under pets would not.

I'm actually not sure if the highest 20 mage pets could have dual wielded but it wouldn't surprise me. I know the highest 24 necro pet could dual wield.

First time I've heard this skills based argument. What's the source material?
