No idea, I don’t necro. Assumed it was a standard DW/double pet. Thought only Sham dogs don’t DW. Shows what I know [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Until late Luclin you couldn't hand armor/weapons to spec pets, they just ate it:

SEPTEMBER 4, 2002

* Changed Specter pets so they're able to equip items and armor.

Spec pets spawned with a no rent 2h scythe to keep them from dual wielding. It was a balance thing. They would only triple attack. Most necros rolled with the 56 monk pet in groups since its dps was higher and it could still tank okay.

So if that's missing on P99 it should be addressed.

I don't know about you, but I don't exactly expect Necros to go out testing this, or reporting back if it's broken...

The Necromancer Rogue pet is the clear winner in terms of pure DPS, but unless you are playing the class its hard to understand why Emissary of Thule feels so much better. First, it can actually tank and take hits pretty damn well, and it also Life Taps at a much higher rate than any of the other pets (further helping it stay alive and closing the gap in raw DPS). At high levels the Rogue pet and Monk pet are getting shit blasted by 1-2 AoEs or accidental agro and dieing literally all the time. Emissary of Thule is a vastly more reliable pet on Raids and honestly once you have it you should never summon any of your other pets... Get Arch Lich for maximum immersion (ghost army).

The QoL of Emissary of Thule outweighs any DPS discrepancy by miles, plus it's the coolest pet in the game by a lot. I pick Spectre over Werewolf 99 out of 100 times

Sure, but none of that speaks to whether or not it's able to equip weapons, armor, a muzzle, or does anything more than triple occasionally.

My point was that if Necros notice it quadding or even hitting for 5, they aren't about to report it as broken.

Correct - also why i didn't report anything you were actually asking about

[Snortles Chortles]

i agree with my obese friend

I love it when “evidence” is “back on live I remember…”

That was 20 years ago you definitely don’t remember every little thing.
