Clarity please.

According to the WIKI level 44 mage pets have 'Innate Dual Wield'.

My experience:
I have seen a level 44 pet (spell level 44 not actual pet level) without weapons quad, which means it IS dual wielding, but I notice it doesn't double attack or hit as often as a pet that I give two daggers.

Now, I don't completely understand why this is happening, but I DO notice a difference.

Moving on:

Pertaining to this thread, a torch was used as a really cheap item to get a pet to dual wield. That is no longer possible with the new patch. Give the pet an actual weapon that has dmg/delay criteria in the stats.
