Spells: Shaman pets are incorrectly gaining triple attack

[DMN]

[Thu Sep 10 22:18:05 2020] A froglok guk shaman pet bites YOU for 21 points of damage.
[Thu Sep 10 22:18:05 2020] A froglok guk shaman pet bites YOU for 39 points of damage.
[Thu Sep 10 22:18:05 2020] A froglok guk shaman pet bites YOU for 34 points of damage.

That's dual wield + double attack roll

[DMN]

If it was dual wield you'd see them quading every so often. I've never seen that happened.Additionally they aren't supposed to dual wield in the first place.

[Dolalin]

Their skill isn't high enough to double-attack in the offhand, that's the simple answer. You need offhand double-attack to get quads.

Below that skill level you will occasionally see dual-wield plus primary-hand double attack, so triples. That's what this is.

Source: 60 levels of warrior

[DMN]

in either case it's incorrect.

[Dolalin]

Why is it incorrect? Shaman pets are warriors, they get double attack and dual wield. Having both of those skills, a triple is always possible no matter your level.

Because they cant equip a weapon. Only a monk can dual wield without a weapon.

Pets of a high enough level dual wield without needing weapons. I'd wager a guk shaman's pet is high enough for that.

Pets that inherently can equip weapons are the only ones that should be getting automatic dual wield.

[Dolalin]

Well it looks like you might be onto something. What I'm seeing so far from the newsgroups is that Shaman pets didn't dual wield.

: Our 49 pet is five levels lower than the necro's 49 pet, and only
: hits for seven less max damage. Level is a major part of it, but
: damage matters too.

Yes it does. The necro pet dual wields. The shaman pet does not
so the damage margin is a bit wider than 7 points.

Because the level 55 Shaman pet *is* a level 44 Necro pet.

Without Dual Wield.

> If the shaman pet works like the necro one,

They don't. Dogs don't dual wield [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Necro pets get dual wield at 29. I'm not sure when magician pets
get it. Shaman pets don't get it at all.

All pets get double attack.
