my suggestion is yes use weapons (if its in your budget)
i buy store bought daggers or use fine steel daggers when i find some.
Ideal weapons for pets: magician swords (the proc works on anything)

Subject: [EQ_Necromancer] Should pets be given weapons above level 20?
I have a 20th level Necro. I have read through lots of guides on
playing this class but with all the nerfing of the Necro class a lot
are outdated. I am trying to determine if I should give my pet
weapons still. Some guides suggest not giving them weapons past level
16. I have also read that when the pet gets double attack they have
to have weapons to get the second attack. There is also the issue of
the damage cap? Can someone familiar with Necros as they currently
exist in the game advise me on this issue. I need to know if I should
equip my pet with a weapon and if so should I only use a certain
quality of weapon or greater.
Anything about armor would be appreciated too. (Armor flag etc.)
