I remember it that way too. I only carried weapons with my enchanter and necro when they still altered delay (mostly bronze daggers or summoned daggers). Turned my necro pet into a gnome-guard killing machine and even made the enchanter animation very dangerous. Every enchanter did that back then. I was actually very pissed when they removed the delay alteration. So much that I quit the game for some time and deleted my 50 necro.
I also remember being thrilled about my shaman pet getting dual wield at 55, and carrying weapons around for that purpose. That was between Kunark or Velious and Luclin, because I remember not having the new graphics with my shaman, and I did turn them on as soon as they were released.

The first time I read the wiki about ALL pets always needing 2 weapons to dual wield, confused me a lot, because I remembered it completely different.

So you're literally posting about the period pre-sept99? because I had a high level nec too, but that's the vast minority of all players. You also had a nec And enc that high? Only a few months into the game? I call BS
