Questionable ability

Hello.

I started using Trapping Webs ability some time ago. My expectations were far from reality.
Activation of synergy works as intended: damage and summoned spiders are on the place. But the thing is that spiders are dealing VERY LOW damage and do not scale from ability owner's and synergy activated characters' parameters, it seems. Damage was about 100 without buffs against ordinary enemies.
This applies general ability and morphs as well. Spiders could have all the buff: SPC, Horn, Minor Berserk from Combat Prayer, etc. All this buffs increase the damage of spiders (except Powerful Assault, which can't be applied to them). Attempts to remove the equipment from characters doesn't seem to change their damage. So it's obvious that spiders do not really scale from the players prameters.
Also, for all synergy-users spiders considered as pets and work together with sets like Necropotence. Screenshots FTC damage statistics from buffed and un-buffed spiders below.

The question is this is a bug or a feature?
If it isn't a bug, why these spiders needed except for corpses for Repentance or Necropotence activation for dks/templars?
If this is feature, I think skill requires serious buff, because spiders damage inconsequential even against mobs.
Everything is viable

    Synergies are supposed to be more powerful versions of the base ability. I'm inclined to say it's a bug, but if it's intended to deal such low damage than it's a really crappy ability.

    Bump.
    This ability will not be buffed in the next patch. So I believe it has implication or bugs. Anyone with confirmed information?

    It sucks that it underperforms so much because it is a cool synergy animation . I wish it would have been brought up during test launch .

    and sadly this is why no one uses the skill and has become totally forgotten and left to rot

    The other morph's synergy is the only non-NB fear available. It used to be used in PvP but since the synergy area has been made so tiny and works so rarely that people stopped using it.
