Patch Notes, Friday November 18, 2011

[Lifesbane]

Looks like some changes were made to pets but not sure.

- Pet accuracy seems changed, 49 pet is missing about 1/2 of all hits on LB and DB mobs.

- Pet Weapon for Dual Wield requirement removed? or pets are quadding without weapons at times(~Awesome!)

Is this pets summoned by post-50 characters that now dual wield? I noticed the 58 shadowknight (same spell as 44 necro) pet is innately DWing, but my 49 mage pets are not. Thought that was odd, but I guess it's based on caster level instead of pet's level now?

mage pets were fixed so they never have an innate DW iirc. always have to give the buggers weapons now. i think it was to reduce the OP of chain-casting pets, but it just made it a little more difficult is all.

wat

I think it means he implemented it on Test server and it will be going in with the next patch.

49 mage pet is innately DW'ing for me as written. If you have evidence otherwise, please post which spell you're using, caster level, etc. so I can test it.
