weapons for pets?

[odizzido]

Pets used to take the delay of weapons. I remember quite well my 16 necro pet soloing yellows with no help when he had mage daggers. I also remember when they nerfed it.

On live pets will take the damage of weapons if it is higher than what they have. While it's pretty much impossible to get pet weapons at higher levels with higher damage than they have by default, a level 1 skel pet with a rusty halberd will hit the 20dmg cap and be able to one shot whites. Delay is unchanged.

Course by "on live" I mean "on live in 2001" or so when I quit.

On P99, people have told me that pet weapons do nothing unless they proc. I haven't done much testing myself though as I don't have a low level mage or necro.

Bolded this, except some pets need to be force dual wielded like the 24 necro / mage pets, and all enchanter pets that can (like 34+?)
