Mage Weapon Question

[OuterChimp]

So at 34, i'm lucky and get a pet that hits for 34 (meaning it is a "max pet").

Giving it any of the weapons I can summon won't make it any better as technically i'd need a 18 damage or higher weapon...unless I use some gnoll hide lariat or something to proc.

So another quick question, does givign it two gnoll hide lariats work better, or just give it one?
