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.

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

They cut the swing faster shit off before Kunark.

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.

Pets don't get dual wield until you can cast the 24th level spell, until then you are better off giving your pet a high damage 2h weapon. This is because a good 2h weapon has a better damage rating than your pet's normal damage, since attack speed is no longer affected by what your pet is wielding, giving it a weapon that doesn't up it's damage is pretty pointless (except for the coolness factor, and having it hit magic only creatures, like wisps). My advice would be either to collect stuff like scythes and 2h swords, or try summoning a staff and give it to your pet and see how it goes.

There was supposed to be a significant time period where the following would occur on proccing weapons + pets:

1. Pets could proc spells like Dismiss Summoned and it would work on any mob type (human etc.)
2. Pet weapon procs were not constrained by level (ie., a level 1 pet could proc Dismiss Summoned or Combustion etc.)

Seems there is a bias against re-implementing some of the classic pet features though in the name of balance. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ya I meant all of the things you posted there Aelzrith. The shit is classic.

Bump. Weighted Axes should be equip able by pets through Velious. It should also modify their max damage to 90+STR calculations.

2handers should be Dual Wieldable by pets that can DW

Dual weilding 2h weapons. Not prolly gonna fly.

Tried mod for damage before. Not well received. But can see what opinions are again.

Is it because pet dual wielding is a shitstorm? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I anticipate the day when all pet weapons are created equal
