How to replicate
#1 - get Spider Staff
#2 - summon a spider
#3 - get your feet off the ground. hook/wings/whatever. except mounts. Ensure that you have equipped wings EDIT: starboard, or are using rocket boots.
#4 - your spiders are now absolute garbage and will do nothing!

EDIT: this seems to not be replicable using steampunk wings, but is with starboard.

Are you priority targetting a flying enemy that spiders can't reach?

Edit: I figured it out it the bug only happens with celestial starboard. Other wings are fine.
