Arming and Equiping pets.. worth it?

[Kelika2]

On my 52 mage I use my fire pet a lot to farm stuff. Like if I know I am going to be in Lguk for a certain camp for awhile I buy a suit of leather armor from a vendor and use some agrolike mainhand such as a gnoll whip or an obsidian shard. offhand if you want but doesnt proc much

The 2h weapon damage increase for pets stops around level 12 or 16. At level 20 or so its time to carry around a bag of torches so it can dual wield

Make sure you got a max level pet before equipping it tho. wiki has max hits for pets
