And some other pet changes....

Haynar: Pets should now dual wield again for all pet levels summoned by the appropriate spells. (Use to have to equip pets 2 weapons at lvl 24 for them to duel wield, and at 39 they use to be auto duel wield without equipping)

Bumamgar: Pets will no longer be added to hatelist of engaged mobs during passive aggro checks. This prevents mobs that are FD on a group/raid from aggroing pets first. (not sure what this one means, i think mobs in range of pets use to always jump the pets before PCs)

Kanras: Pets will no longer automatically dual wield at a certain level. (translation is that no pet will duel wield unless you put weapons on it)

Kanras: Pets will use same calculations as PCs when doing double attack/dual wield rolls. (Translation, all pet overall dmg has been reduced, they use to be hitting and kicking/bashing for 40+ most the time, now they are pansy)
