As a level 34 mage ,what summoned weapons should I be using for best DPS?

Sowrd of Runes - though it looks like it only procs on summoned?

thoughts? I've never really devoted much time into mage'ing it and am curious what the professional mage folks think.

Pet weapons will only matter if you need them to enable dual wield, they have enough damage to increase pet damage, or they have a useful proc. Weapon delay is not used on pets, so don't worry about that.

To determine if a weapon will increase your pets damage, you simply multiply the base damage of the weapon by 2, and compare it to the max hit damage of your pet. For example, if your pet hits for 34 damage max, you would need to give him a weapon with at least 18 damage to see an increase. An 18 damage weapon would change your pets max hit damage to 36.
