pet weapons

[shadd505]

I'm currently lvl 53 pet so i've been bouncing back on forth between the rog and war pet, should i still be given my pets crap weapons i pick up off the ground or not.

Yes! and don't be concerned with the delay.

Oh btw we do have a pet section here on the forum ;)

u shouldnt giv pet crap weapons,giv him the mage toys DUhh!

[Whispers Quietly]

With the mage weapons, you won't see the damage, Except from proc. So buy the according weapon. If you buy the flameblade, lvl 60. no procs.
Weapons on ground are just for graphics, IE, cheap weapons do not do a thing...

have fun...

IMHO Silver Swiftblade (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=401) would b a good newb pet weapon,and even the Sarnak Warhammer (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=117) and the Sarnak BattleHammer (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=578)

As a general rule of thumb, if a weapons DMG is about 1/2 of your pet's max hit, the weapon will increase your pet's damage (its about 1/2 don't remember the exact ratio). At higher levels, with pretty much every weapon being no-drop, proc'ing weapons are the only real thing that will help your pet.

Note that the weapon never REDUCES pet damage, highest damage is the one that wins out. And delay never affects your pet from what I have read (never parsed it myself).

The Delay on Weapons doesn't effect pets,they have there own Delay,as well as there own damage,as you can see when they have no weapons...
