Magician Summoned Weapons: Sword vs. Others

[Endorra]

As far as I'm aware, Loramin, there are no reasons to pick one or the other on p99.

I played a necro/mage in Classic, and there were a couple of good reasons to be picky back then. In vanilla there was a time period when pets would take the delay of weapons given to them. So daggers were amazing because they were essentially hasting the pet by cutting its delay down to 20... which could then be further hasted. This was eventually patched.

However as I recall P99 does not include this classic evolution of mechanics, and pets have the same delay regardless of weapon at any point in the timeline.

Once that got changed in classic, the next discovery was that summoned mage swords would proc their DD on any type of target, not just summoned ones. So the ideal summoned weapon became the swords because of the proc.

As I recall, P99 does not include this classic mechanic either, so there's no advantage specific to summoned swords at any point in the timeline.
