Giving necro pet weapons

[Magevro]

At low levels..(8ish+) should I be giving my skelly rusty weapons or staffs that I find while killing? I haven't looked at the damage or sat there and parsed it so I'm curious whether its helpful or a hindrance(i.e. longer attack delay, aggro, exp penalty from pet doing too much dmg).

And for the future I'd also like to know if(and with what weapons) I should be doing this down the line at higher lvls.

Thanks
