High level pets aren't auto dual wielding

[Potus]

High level summoned pets aren't automatically dual wielding. Necromancer pets starting at level 39 should DW innately. Right now you need to give them two weapons.

According to other people, Emissary of Thule isn't DW'ing because of this bug.

Also, for some odd reason giving pets secondary only items like torches and crude steins turns DW on. This isn't right, that should actually turn DW off.

So monks that use their fist as primary shouldn't DW?

I'm sorry, what? If they have a torch, shield, or stein in their offhand, then yes they shouldn't.

[derpcake]

Can confirm, 39 necro pet not dual wielding without weapons.

Considering augment death has a very short duration here (also being looked at?) these 2 combined make it harder to have a good pet. Need to carry dem weaps & spam buff :(

[Potus]

Yup it's amazing just how atrocious Necro pet DPS is because of these two bugs, at least on red. It's like having an un-hasted shaman pet.

[Potus]

This shit is still broken :(

Always found this weird. Don't remember this at all, but it's tough to find evidence to prove that this didn't exist. Cause no one was derpy enough to give their pets torches.

The pet dual wield situation was changed cause people were Zerg petting Sky bosses I thought?

The pets also fall through the walls a lot.

Just made one in Lguk, in frenzy hall, it fell through the wall and when I pressed follow it trained the 3 bloodthirsties.

Some really sad state this stuff is in :(

[R Flair]

Necro spec pets also like 6 lvls lower than theyre supposed to be and can't quad no matter what weapons u give them even tho they should innately quad and stun (dont do either).

Add that to the fact that their life taps don't heal them for full in pvp, its no wonder no one plays necros on r99.

[Potus]

Disappointed this shit wasn't fixed. Also if the p99 wiki is accurate then yeah Spectre pet should be a higher level and hitting harder, also should be kicking.

[Potus]

Still bugged. Pets still shitty. Blue still has bug fixed.

[Nirgon]

play blue

What is fixed on blue and not red?

This is the 2nd highest summon of the rogue pet. It doesn't seem very good at quadding.

This was unarmed, unbuffed pet.

[Nirgon]

Give it a torch, should make it quad here.

Don't think a shield does but who cares right 8]

Shrug. Something like 8 silver and the PAIN is gone.

[Grimjaw]

tried torch the other day. didn't work

Well, more of a what's fixed on red that's not on blue if I can respond in general since it is being asked.

Duck cast and item recharging on blue ... needs ta go.

Duck cast wrong for time line.

Item recharge because it destroys the classic experience raiding. Much like the stance against boxing... except of the smaller portion of the playerbase that boxed... I'd say about none of them item recharged. If you catch my drift.

Pets? Should work on red like they work on blue from my investigatings... I am very unsure why they'd be different? Rogean told us they used the same stuff? I might be taking that out of context big time.

Blue apparently has innate pet dual wield and Red doesn't. At least that is what searching the forums and other posters have said. I don't have a high level char on blue so I couldn't verify.

But yeah, 39-59 pets should all innately dual wield. Handing torches is not only non-classic it also doesn't work on Emissary of Thule.

So in this thread you've told someone to go play on blue if they don't like bugs present on red, you post a "solution" that was fixed last patch, proving you have nfc, meanwhile saying it isn't really important.

A+ contribution. Going to ignore further posts from you.

For P1999 Blue: As of a couple months ago, the 39 Necromancer pet (52 SK pet) only innately dual wields if you summon the highest level version of it (the one that hits for 39). The other 4 possible levels of it have to be given weapons. All versions of the 44 Nec/58 SK pet dual wield innately. I haven't logged on since early summer so a patch since that time may potentially have mucked with things.

That sounds right. Thanks for verifying.
