Tbh, all the Lore pets are pretty good. Some are better than others, and some are stronger in aoe or single target, but they're all worth having for cracking hard targets etc. Stronger than almost all non-incarnate pets (well, the Boss tier ones are, the Lts give a more average performance).
From what I remember the Toxic Tarantula is roughly middle of the pack for single target dps (someone did some testing vs a Pylon), and comes with a toxic damage aoe. Whatever the comparative strength vs other flavours, I've got it on my Crab Spider and it definitely tears things up.
You can find a link to ST DPS performance of all of the lore pets in my sig.
It doesn't take into account AoE potential, or other less obvious potential benefits like movement capabilities (Phantoms for example, can fly and are generally very good at keeping up with fast moving players or players who also use fly).
I haven't heard any experience with them. How are they?
Working on a Crab Spider right now and need moar arachnos botz! So, hoping they're actually a viable consumption of time, or should I tweak my mind and allow something else?
