Surprised by Spiderlings

Got my Crab Spider up to 35 today and took Spiderling pets.

Have to say, I was surprised at how sturdy they were. Granted, I was only running on Villainous, but I was still impressed by how much punishment they were able to take.

I have to admit I originally intended to skip the spiderlings, and ony grab the disruptors at the very end, but then I got talked into grabbing them right away and trying them out.

I'm glad I did, I use them to soak alphas, distract the enemey and, as mentioned, they are sturdier than I would have thought, and the disruptors do even better damage and can hold a foe or two.

Crab Spider's Spiderlings don't take the Achilles Heel proc - the only set types they can take are Pet Damage and Recharge Intensive Pets.

My experience with them is on Stalkers, so I find it strange SoA get a "nerfed" version. I wonder if that's a bug?

They're still great even without the proc, though.
