The Magician's Tower

Does anyone know what criteria pets use when deciding to equip weapons and masks?

I'm wondering if pets will equip the cauldron mask or stay with the mask it is summoned with?

Also will they equip the new weps over the tideslasher or vice versa?

Thanks for the help.

Pets choose best delay (lowest value) when choosing weapons and will choose best ac with armor (highest value).

Pet's will not put the new weapons on if they already have weapons and won't put on Mardu's Mercurial Visor if they are the HoT pets.

So, to answer your questions, they won't equip the cauldron mask. The tideslasher will always be chosen over the new weapons. In fact, the SoD summoned weapons will not be discarded if you give them the new weapons. Kind of a pain but moot since the new weapons are only 40 dps and the SoD ones are probably 30 dps. It does suck if you like the look of the new weapons like me because then you have to destroy a pet to get the cool looking weapons

You used to be able to force it to switch the primary weapon. But I can't remember how (and hasn't been an issue since OoW).

I still ended up using Ikkinz 4 clicky for years. Still do a lot. But, until the next patch, the "Jolt" weapons are a free 200 DPS (wrongly assigned spell, hehe).

It's a shame that the Jolt weapon is being fixed
