Spore Saryn is one of my main frames and I use a gas Torid, Paracyst, or Ignis almost exclusively with her. The addition of Pox let me replace Acrid with a weapon that isn't shit on my equipment list.

Gas procs are amazing for any group of 2-3 enemies on a status weapon. If I can get two Grineer Eximus HGs right next to another and I can constantly gas proc both of them, everything else in the map dies before they do from my own gas procs. It's wonderful.

Saryn aside, it's less great a damage type than people realize vs Grineer and Corrupted since the tilesets are relatively spacious and enemies don't tend to group up. The Infestation are literal Zerg and the Corpus aren't much better with minion count, letting Gas damage stack AoEs over a very large distance, especially when you're applying with an AoE like Torid or Ignis.
