Game Mechanics: Shaman pets don't equip weapons!

[Treats]

Consider. Although we *finally* get superior heal, a level 53 spell will
*not* channel through hits. I will likely find that for most occaisions I
am stuck using Greater because I can at least rely on it casting. The pet
is *weaker* than a Shadowknight's pet (one level higher but no dual wield).
The Poison DoT is 20% more damage. I costs 50% more mana!

Yes it does. The necro pet dual wields. The shaman pet does not
so the damage margin is a bit wider than 7 points.

Necro pets get dual wield at 29. I'm not sure when magician pets
get it. Shaman pets don't get it at all.

All pets get double attack.
