Actually could be that, so only frightforged has reqs?
I guess since i knew from back then there was no reqs & i saw reqs on frightforged i assumed it didn't change.
However if it is the case it still leaves me with a doubt, is recommanded applied & required still ignored? because my pet "did" wear a weap with required & recommanded level, hitting for no more than it should (probably because recommanded droped the damage too low) but it was visibly wearing it (regardless of it having required level)?
When it comes to summoned armor, manaforged and frightforged are the only ones with req'd levels on them.
As to the recommended business, I don't remember. I discussed it briefly with Aristo during VoA. For equipping purposes, they ignore recommended; for stat purposes, I don't know. My guess is that they follow recommended as well. Take Fist of Ixiblat for example. It has a req'd level of 10 but a higher recommended level. As you use higher level pets, the proc damage goes up. If they follow recommended levels for procs, it only seems logical that it would extend to stats as well.
And, a pet might equip gear now without getting the stats whereas they wouldn't equip before. During SoF or SoD they made it so that gear with a required level higher than yours could be equipped. The reason for that was to allow you to keep your gear on in case you deleveled from death; as opposed to making it stay on the corpse. That change could have transferred to the pets. I can look into that issue as it has potential for being a bug.
