Game Mechanics: Weighted Axe and Pets

[Daldaen]

Bump for classic.

They'd wield them for sure, but I don't know if they'd be hitting for 91 with them :P.

Just like when a forest giant type drops the weighted axe he isn't hitting for 180-250 with it.

[Daldaen]

But do they hit for 90 with it? Cause I'm pretty sure that's all pets or NPCs cared about with weapons. Just DMG x 2. No DMG bonus or STR effects.

[Tecmos Deception]

Summoned pets will do (weapon damage * 2) + 1 max damage if you give them hard-hitting weapons (besides weighted axe)... so like oggok cleaver, deathbringers rod, etc.

Charmed pets don't seem to hit harder with weapons. I've been trying to get mobs in EC to hit for 61 on and off for quite a while and it never works [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Them being able to dual wield 2h was proved in a screen shot OUT OF NOWHERE someone popped for me in another thread.

I looked for this thread but its an earth pet in Qeynos Hills dual wielding I think 2 scythes or a scythe + fs 2hander. There's some common 2handers that drop that I'm sure people would like to give to their pets for dual wielding, so this is a pretty valuable fix.

I'd be real interested to see if there's any accounts/images of mobs dropping a pair of 2handers and wielding both.

I'm strongly against any memory of pets hitting with 91 with weighted axes at normal speed.

The memory I have is weapon DELAY having an impact and them hitting for their usual damage a ton faster (removed pretty early in classic iirc).

[Nirgon]

O no... wait....

I DO remember the lvl 4 mage pet hitting for 20 with a fine steel 2hander.

Not sure about this 91dmg weighted axe business.

I remember always saving FS daggers for my necro friends pet, at level 60 thats what we gave them every time. It would make them swing faster.

But I don't remember if/when this stopped working.

[Nirgon]

They cut the swing faster shit off before Kunark.

21pts and you must have been a baller if using fine steel. A rusty 2h had the same 21pt impact

We'd hand out fine steel 2handers to the local lvl 5 PKs in Nektulos.

Or to the people fighting them if it was more entertaining. Sometimes they just happened to be pet classes.

Scumbog (lvl 5 troll SK) was my favorite, easily.
