Summon Dead - pet lvl 25 - SK gets spell at 49

This pet should dual wield if you give him weapons.

Good to know, thanks.

My level 15 sk pet accepts multiple weapons. Does that mean he is duel wielding?

no

You can only tell if a pet is actually duel wielding if you physically see him holding a weapon in each hand. You could hand him weapons all day if u wanted but you will only see the first weapon uv given him equipped.

I thought I read that dual wield wasn't showing for some pets.

Anyway, you should be able to determine it by the battlespam (slash/crush/pierce vs punch), no?

And if thats the case then im wrong based on this server, but that was the indication used on live. And yes give him two diff weapon types ,piecing,crush, slashing and thats a surefire guarantee if its working.

This is the best gauge of if it is working.

They will hold two regardless of if the are actually Dual Wielding.

As was noted in a previous post the battle spam can indicate if it is working or not as well.

If your pet class and double attack, when it is dual wielding you can see some rounds where it appears to quad, (a successful Dual Wield check and double attack checks). Keep in mind dual wield hits can be different values, a double attack hit will always mirror the original swings damage.

Is this a pet specific or server specific thing?

If not, it's wrong.
