Game Mechanics: Two hand weapons not working on pets

[tristantio]

I'm still on board with seeing this updated.

[tristantio]

While pets properly wield most two hand weapons now, the "A Weighted Axe" is still not usable by pets due to the hidden NO PETS tag on the item, however this tag was not implemented in classic and should be removed so pets can once again wield the axe as they could during Kunark era.

And you realize nothing has changed between then and now in regards to pets, right?

If you do research around the time that comment was made, the nerf already was in effect. I've played pet classes since April 2011, and it's been like that since then, at least

Patch changes exp 10/2011

No. EXP changed. Meaning back then a pet with 2h and weighted axe meant a pet class could level way faster than they could if it were classicly introduced now with pets eating your exp inevitably due to DWing or wielding weighted axes and 2hs.

It's balanced now. Make it so. 2handers for DW and Weightes Axes for all pets.

Summoned pets DO hit harder if you give them a high-damage weapon. They just don't take weighted axes. Buddy's 16 mage pet was doubling cats in kerra isle for 61 with a deathbringers rod just 2 weeks ago.
