Regarding the patch and torched pets
Haynar: A pet will no longer dual wield if they are handed a non-weapon item like a torch.
So what's the way to go now for chanter pets? I know a torch was superior to handing it 2 weapons in most cases. Is 2 weapons the best option? It'll still be less effective than torches. | ||

How is 2 weapons less effective than torches? Twice the bag space required? Kill your pet and you'll get your weapons back, just like your torches.

I thought with 2 weapons, it had the CHANCE to dual wield, while with a torch it essentially forced dual wielding?

Two weapons forces dual wield unless the creature is too low to DW I think?
On 40-50 mobs, 2 weapons will make it DW though.

Pets don't naturally dual wield until 34/39. A "good" 34 pet will naturally dual wield bare handed, and a "bad" 39 pet will not dual wield bare handed. Before this, you can give a pet two weapons to make them dual wield. So a level 1 pet given two weapons will dual wield them, but they wont dual wield bare handed until 34/39 as described above. | |||

alot of misinformation in this thread.
uteinayr - giving a level 1 pet 2 weapons will NOT cause him to actually dual weild. he'll hold 2 weapons but wont use his offhand until a much higher level (the level they are actually gain the dual weild skill - 34). But for necros, "Naturally dual weidling bare hands" is broken here, and that's the reason why necros need to give their pets weapons 34+. Because there's a bug here that basically makes them not dual weild like they are suppose to Unless you give them 2 weapons. also, whether or not a torch is better than 2 weapons - there is a myth that the torch caused dual weild to trigger every swing but two weapons would not trigger the dual weild mechanic on every swing. that's probably true. | ||

The 49/53 pets dual wield just fine without weapons on Blue.

According to the WIKI level 44 mage pets have 'Innate Dual Wield'. My experience: I have seen a level 44 pet (spell level 44 not actual pet level) without weapons quad, which means it IS dual wielding, but I notice it doesn't double attack or hit as often as a pet that I give two daggers. Now, I don't completely understand why this is happening, but I DO notice a difference. Moving on: Pertaining to this thread, a torch was used as a really cheap item to get a pet to dual wield. That is no longer possible with the new patch. Give the pet an actual weapon that has dmg/delay criteria in the stats. | |||
