Summoned Spiders OP?

[Furey]

Not sure if spiders got a buff to help out summoners, but I'm hitting some tweaked out spider summons now in Nightmare mode. The first one was a summons from a unique boss in the Prides, so I sorta dismissed it as one of those wonky things which happens with the occasional OP random boss. The spider "poison spit" talent was hitting me for 583 per tic.

I assumed this was a poison infusion or something, but I checked and no sir, it was the standard "8 second cooldown do 583 nature damage per tic" poison we've come to expect

Once I managed to kill that boss (which I'm pretty sure was way harder than the peaks will be) I ran into routine summoners who were summoning spiders doing 280 to 350 per tic at level 58-59.

Not sure if this was intended as a way to boost PC spiders, but if it was unintentional, for the love of all that is holy...please have a look at it!

Summons double-dip the talent level buffs on high difficulties. This is probably being fixed next patch.
