Mage Noob Question

[Halius]

Hey all,

Just pondering something here. I know pets can use items that proc like Gnoll Hide Lariat, but can they proc any weapon at any level or do they have to be the same level a PC would have to be? For instance, last night I got a lucky drop from a flunkie and I picked up a Sarnak Liberator which has a proc for 74-81 dmg at level 20. Now I was debating selling this because at level 21 I could definitely use the extra cash but then I had a thought of giving it to my pet for some pretty good dps as I hear pets usually proc weapons much more often.

So anyways I was thinking, when I have time to dedicate a few hours of time to leveling, would it be worth it to give this to my highest level pet, which right now is level 20 (the level the proc requires) and in a way PL myself or should I just keep the sword and sell it. Any tips and advice are greatly appreciated. Thank you all!

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I never played a mage on live so not really sure how pets work so much. Only played a war, clr, and pal on live.
