No drop weapons on pets

[Arne]

as pets are a part of you as a mage, i really think pets should be able to use no drop weapons

just a suggeston

 

[Clue]

Bad idea, my SHD pet was somehow equipped with a nodrop weapon, I think it was 47dmg 70dly, and he was doing about 45-80 dmg. So unless they make it so that pets only can equip nodrop weapons of low damage I don't think pets should be able to equip nodrop weapons, too overpowering.

i would just like it as for an example akheva weapons which drop much and NONE needs em i cant even give em to the pet

 

[Clue]

But the damage on the staff in Akhevan is 35, so a high level pet would probably be doing close to 100 damage, kinda just guessing. But if my SHD pet can do 80 damage I'm sure a high level mage/necro pet would be doing 100+ damage, that seems a bit high to me for pet damage.

I believe pets have a damage cap. Although, I would like to hear this from a GM just to be sure.

There was a time when people were using 99 damage axes with pets, making them do insane damage. That was fixed, I believe, with a pet melee damage cap. But yea, can a GM testify this please?

Pets might eventually start basing their damage off the ratio of the weapon you give them. If this occurs then I will let them use NO DROP weapons.

No promises though.
