Necro pets should not equip two of the same weapon until January 2000 patch era
Necro pets should not equip two of the same weapon until January 2000 patch era. To get a necro pet to dual wield, classically you had to give them two different kinds of weapon.
At the same time, this other bug can be fixed: pets should not equip items in their offhand unless they have the dual wield skill. https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...ght=dual+wield Patch message: Quote:

From what I recall this affects everything, not just pets. The patch notes are also slightly incorrect. it was the weapon SPEED that had to be different. Wasn't uncommon to loot some mob that only had been fighting with a single weapon, to then discover 2 weapons on their corpse. always the same reason -- same attack speed.

I'll see if I can nail that down a bit better DMN.
For now, it's interesting to note that the trope of "necros giving their pets 2 fs daggers" is inaccurate. It was one fs dagger and one normal dagger or summoned dagger, due to the way this worked. (oh and a nod to Verant's terrible testing in that Mage pets were always supposed to dual wield and it took them a year and a half to fix it...) https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt....s/_7PLyKOVAxYJ Quote:

Makes sense. It was probably in since launch that animations could DW just like necro pets. it is interesting though, if you take the pacth notes as exclusive authorities, as it says "an ability previously reserved for necromancers".
Just like these patch notes here talking about different weapons when it was really the difference in delay/weapon speed. Close but no cigar. | ||

On Al’Kabor, even in PoP, you had to give charmed pets two different weapons to forever them to dual wield given they could wield weapons at all. They would equip the first weapon and eat a second weapon if it were a duplicate.
It seems like their fix in 2000 only applied to summoned pets. Charmed pets should always eat duplicate weapons in the P99 timeline.
