LoL i found a true use for this weapon. Since delay no longer affects pets( do you see it comeing). While i was with a group camping Forest Arbor Gaints in Fironia Vie we looted quite of few of these along with the others stuff like Hammer of Flatening and Leg Choppers. But i guess some 1 didnt want the axe and GAVE it to my pet. (you cant sell the axe at vendors). And i cant wait till my pet can duel weild 2 handers hehe.

Enchanter, Necromancer, Magician, and Shadow Knight pets would use a 150 delay weapon, since the dagger "nerf" made it so weapon delay has no effect on the pet's attack speed. Don't you just love seeing your pet quadding for 91 each at 25 delay? =)

I think after it was shot down twice by previous developers and then the 50% exp cost for letting your pet out damage you was properly introduced, it is high time to make this server a bit more classic

Weighted Axe for all the pets in the world!

I'll second dual wielding 2handers on pets for now.

I used to farm/buy weighted axes for this very purpose. They're fantastic pet weapons. Once SoL/PoP came out you had even more of these kinds of weapons, weighty polearms were great newbie pet weapons to hand to young necros and mages.

Fixed that for you.

let my rogue steal magic items, and ill stop complaining about op pet class's.

wheres my classic fix....

The overpoweredness of it isn't all that bad really. A summoned pet is going to either be stealing xp with no chance of outdamaging it (since you aren't going to reclaim a pet you give a wep to), or the pet class is going to be in a group so that other people benefit from the pet anyways.

It might help charmers level depending on what method you're using, otherwise it doesn't help charmers really at all because high-level mobs hit harder than 91 anyway and lower-level mobs are gonna kill a level 30 chanter if they quad for 91. Lol.
