Pets and Weapons

[Murferoo]

Is there any definitive directive that's been given in terms of whether weapons actually help/hurt when given to a pet?

My memory is poor, but I thought I remember that giving weapons to pet in classic was a huge debate. I haven't parsed any numbers so I don't know.

I've heard - give 2 low delay weapons to a pet and it makes the dual wield attack at lower levels.

I've heard, give one low delay and one high dam and you get the best of both worlds...high damage with low delay.

I've heard - pets dont need them, it doesn't change anything, they dual attack anyway.

Etc...

Does anyone know the actual truth of the matter in terms of how it actually is here on P99?

Thanks.
