Request for Information: What Armor can Pets Use?

Dalayan Beginner
Hi. I'm simply requesting some information about mechanics already in place that I can't discern without some help.

What armor slots can pets use? I've already seen the posts where Wiz confirmed that Mage pets can use armor, and hopefully this is true for all pets. But just BP's, or all "visible" slots? Jewelry slots?

Lots of times I loot stuff that I would like to give my pet, but I don't know if I'm just throwing away money. I've asked this specifically in the SoD Discussion thread, but that's not getting me anywhere.

Also, is there any sort of armor hierarchy? For example, if I give my pet a leather jerkin, and then later on loot a chainmail BP, could I give him that, knowing that he will automatically upgrade?


Another thing: if I give my pet a shield, will it be of any benefit to him, with regard to defense and blocking? Also, will it reduce his damage output in any way?

THANK YOU for any sort of official confirmation you can provide!

PETS

Magician Pets wear armor and benefit from it
Pets have a fixed delay
pets have a set amount of attacks so making it wield two weapons is only good for increasing its amount of procs.
Pets do not becomes rogues, wizards, etc. Water pet slows, fire pet does the most damage (even ds excluded), air pet stuns, earth pet roots. Fire is lowest hp, water and air identical in middle, earth highest.
Pets have their own resists. Fire pets are resistant to fire, etc.
Magician Water pet slow is fixed at 25%.

Charmed pets have a max of 50% haste.

Now that we're at it, why a magi's pet (elemental) would wear armor and a chanter's or necro's wouldn't (humanoids, and skeletons wearing armor doesn't shock me) RPwise ? And if even animals can get armor (which can't be prevented apparently : I noticed beastlord or shaman pet could get a weapon) why couldn't every pet wear amor ? Anyway it's temporary, every pet dies sooner or later.
Magis already have the advantage of having the best pets, choice in pet summon, applying melee AAs to the pet... Come on share a bit !!!

Do you people always have to do this game of extremely stretched out assumptions?

ALL pets can use armor on ALL slots.
 
Oops my bad then sorry :s I thought what was meant before was "magis pet could take benefit from armor and not others" though I know one can give any warrior wearable gear to a pet.
I'll try to be more cautious in the future.
