Necro Pets

stayne · #1 10-08-2010, 11:56 AM

I am currently trying out a necro (level 4) and have a question. Do necro pets ever wield weapons upon creation in later levels or do they have to be given them? I can give my pet now at level 4 a rusty sword and it will utilize it.

Always have to give them to him. Mages are good partners [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you hunt near water, fishing is a great way to get rusty daggers. That is what I use for my pet weapons.

To my knowledge, giving your pet a weapon at the lower levels serves no purpose, unless it's magical, and then it can hit magical targets.

In classic the delay on a weapon was utilised, but not here.

If you give them two weps, they DW at 24 IIRC.

They DW at 12 I believe. Worked on my 17, and I think I remember the 12 pet starting it.

I've heard people say this, but I've seen pet class owners contradict them and say that the pets will carry the weapons, but only swing the main hand until 24. Anyone verify?

I haven't checked the combat log to see if the hit lands, but I for sure saw the Animation at 12.

lvl 20 mage pet will dw (as quad attack) if you cast the highest lvl one .
also it matters what dmg the weapon has you give him . if the dmg is higher than the inner pet fist dmg it will increase the dmg of the pet (pet hits for)

all my chanter pets will hold two weapons, currently at 16 he does not quad.

He doubles a lot, but he does this with or without a weapon.
