Summoned pets DO hit harder if you give them a high-damage weapon. They just don't take weighted axes. Buddy's 16 mage pet was doubling cats in kerra isle for 61 with a deathbringers rod just 2 weeks ago.

I think I mentioned that midway through thread 2 years ago (original post having been 3 years ago) after they did fix the 2h issue but forgot the Weighted Axe.

Seems pets should also be able to dual wield these 2hers as well. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bump for classic goodness.

sorry to side trak a little BUT

I could not find any evidence so far, but Does anyone remember that Enchanter pet animations would not take 2 handed weapons because they already had faster weapons during classic ERA?

Here you can give an enchanter animation rusty 2 hander or any 2-hander for that matter and they will use it. I do not remember this being the case during live classic time line and even after classic on my enchanter my animation would not use 2 handed weapons from my recollections.
