Game Mechanics: Necro Pet Dual Wield (lvl 16-24 line)

[sildder]

Read old posts and haven't seen any recent updates to the subject- Have been testing necro pets now from 16-24 with all 3 levels of pet and while they'll equip dual they sure aren't using it properly. There seems to be some problem with them dual wielding with different types of weapons. I can get a pet to properly triple and even quad attack rarely with 2 identical weapons of only certain types. Pets will not dual wield at all if using 2 different weapons.

Weapons I've tested that failed to work with a pair equipped include long swords, short swords, axes, battle axes, broad swords, and bastard swords.

I have not tried with daggers or rapiers.

Rusty weapons of all crushing types, falchions, and both spear types used in pairs of the rusty type appear to be working properly.

Now I can't confirm how this all worked in live but wanted to bring it to light as I haven't seen anyone mention this or even talked to anyone in game that noticed. Regardless if you equip your pet with a working pair your pet is suddenly pulling much much higher dps than with anything else.

Will update when I hit 29 for further testing.
