Remind me, where are we on pets in the timeline?

[tristantio]

Do the necro/magician/shadow knight pet summons at level 39+ dual wield automatically, or only after being given a set of weapons?

Do the weapons with "Dismiss Summon" proc vs all creatures when given to pets?

(the answers should either be no/yes or yes/no to the above, since these two things were modified in the same patch right before Velious http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20001129.html)

Can the low level non-dual wield pets wield Weighted Axe yet (or does it still disappear)?

Can they use non-Weighted Axe two handers for 2x weapon damage (will a level 1 pet given the 15 damage Halberd properly hit for 30 a swing?)
