Mage Pets and weapons

Quote:

Adding weapons to pets only allows them to duel wield, it does not alter their Damage or Attack Speed. However pets that inherently do less damage than a weapons damage will benefit from receiving weapons, only if the weapon's damage is greater than the pets maximum damage divided by 2 will it increase the damage the pet does. (I think this works on pets up to and including level 16 summons).

When pets receive weapons they will automatically use the weapons with the lowest attack delay.

Weapons do nothing to the current pets.

Weapons currently increase the damage of the pets, given the damage of the weapon x2 exceeds the max hit of the pet.

Try it out on a lvl 1 necro pet. Give em a rusty 2hser. The pet will still hit at the normal pet attack rate, but will hit much harder.

Weapons have no affect on high lvl pets, besides graphics, procs, or stats.
