Ouch, no wonder

I thought for weapons, it would be base damage, where the basedamage of the weapon has to be twice the amount the pet's unequipped base, otherwise it wouldn't equip them o0 AFAIK, pets dont use the weapon's delay anyways

Pet's use the weapon delay only for determining replacement with another weapon given to it. That's what's meant by the comment about delay on pets. The base damage thing you're talking about is about how to get pets to hit harder than their regular hit max.
