Edit: misread the question

Yes you have to torch them to make then dw with a 2hander

No worries! It was poorly written

Anyone know if this is true for animations? I think this advice was for a charmed pet.

As far as I know animations don't have special restrictions on dual wielding once the pet is high enough level to do so. Wiki says Animations can dual wield when your pet is level 20 or higher. Zumaik's Animation is obviously much higher level than that.

You can test it yourself with rusty weapons or something. Put a 2h slash weapon in one hand and like a blunting or piercing weapon in the other. Check your logs to see if you see "slashes" and "crushes" in your Animation's hit/miss messages.

Long as geos can hit for 144, you can torch then swarmcaller. It'll quad and slow . Add a cleric friend and profit

Don't forget that enchanters actually get access to the spells tepid deeds which completely negates the need to buy a 2k weapon for your pet that doesn't add dmg

I agree casting slow would help tremendously. My Shaman pet can tank quite well when a mob is slowed, and Zumaik's Animation should be tankier than the Shaman pet due to Zumaik's Animation being higher level.

My assumption has been OP knows about Slow and has been casting it already if needed. It sounds like they just want to be as lazy as possible:

1. Put Weapons on Zumaik's Animation.
2. Buff Pet once in a while.
3. Slow if needed.
4. Watch TV or w/e.

That's why I am assuming Charming is off the table for OP. It goes against being as lazy as possible.

Yes, exactly this. I’ve charmed Geo’s and it ain’t exactly an afk camp.

Should have named the thread “Pimp my Zumaik’s”

zumaiks starts out automatically dual-wielding, with fast regen... it's damage cannot be increased either outside of proc weapons. If you want a true idle afk, find a monster that can't outdamage it's health....

I've played around plenty with animations, you shouldn't have a problem if you use slow, but outside of that, it's going to be a real issue if you want full afk. Animations aren't as reliable to auto-kill like magician or necromancer pets.

Don't get me wrong, animations are hella strong in the right conditions. Throw down a slow, put up a dot or 2, launch a nuke, and you should be good to go for most mobs.

let me repeat, outside of proc weapons, you're just wasting your time giving them new weapons. all #FashionQuest

My max level zumaik’s hits for 55. As mentioned in this thread, What if I equip it with a cheap item that has more than 28 dmg? Wouldn’t that increase the damage output?
