Game Mechanics: 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.

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 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

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 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

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.
