Regarding the patch and torched pets

[Karok]

I think the standard was 1 FS dagger 19dly and 1 summoned or rusty maybe @ 20dly. That plus pet buff was carnage. It must be nerfed here or else ppl would know, there has to be a lot of classic necros here that tried it by now. Unless we are thinking patch maybe enabled this action.

On a live retail server, both pre and post Kunark, a magician without a focus item could give their level 24 pet two weapons like a dagger and a club and they would see the pet both piercing and crushing in the damage scroll IF it was not the lowest level summoned pet.

If the Magician had a focus item and they summoned their highest level possible 20 pet, it would dual wield with the same example above, piercing and crushing in the damage scroll.

I recall no need to give a magician pet a set of weapons for the level 39 summon on. It would dual wield innately. The very highest summoned 34 with a focus item would do this as well. If it's not currently working like this, something is broken.
