Equipping Zumaik’s Animation

[hagglebaby]

Yes I can’t quite kill geonids reliably with Zumaik’s.

I also do very long sessions at hill giants in rathe mtns and ice giants in Everfrost Peaks

How close are you getting to killing the Geos? Best case scenario for 2x Deadwood Staves is like 150 HP + Damage a Minute if you proc the average of 3 per minute at 255 DEX. If the Geo is still at like 30%+ HP when your pet dies, I am not sure if Deadwood Staves are going to be enough. Geos can hit pretty hard.

Zumaik's Animation does 56 at max, so it's not going to be super cheap and easy to find weapons with 29+ damage that you can just throw on your pet (or weapons with high damage procs). At that point you'd need to farm some areas that take a bit more effort like Seb for something like https://wiki.project1999.com/Felhammer . Not saying Felhammer is the best weapon to farm, but it's an example of a weapon that isn't worth a lot of money, and has over 28 damage.

EDIT: https://wiki.project1999.com/Argent_Defender Might be a bit better since it isn't lore, but not 100% sure if the extra damage would offset the Deadwood Stave procs. Would be interesting to see.

Ok so dual wielding deadwood staves is a thing.

If I were to equip argent defender or something with 29dmg+, would I also want to put something in the off hand?
