At high summoning levels its all tartarians, golems, doom horrors, wraith lords etc. At lower levels...

Banelords, the Devil commander you get from Horde from Hell spell are good and cheap.

Some others that are good with CB mod
Firbolg
Harbinger (with a good blessing)

These you don't see as much but they are lower level summons that can be good thugs if you have a lot of gems
Crusher
Gargoyle

tartarians are the standard recipient for GoR. there is no more efficient use - though at least tartarians are a bit pricier in the mod

My two favorite thugs have to be banelord and the Harbringer. The harbringer is nice because you can throw on boots of stone and have them back up your other thugs wearing Air Jordans.

Firbolgs, I still haven't figured out what the best use for them....as archers or melee thugs.

Heh. Gift of Reason the dragonfly. Empower it with Astral magic until you can starting Wish(ing) for Power and Magic Power.

That is then a _Dragon_ Fly!

GoR is fun with cross-breeding, specially if you score an ettin.

(Does anyone actually use cross-breeding? I've played with it a bit, but it seems like the good stuff is depressingly rare...)

Are there any other summoned mobs with magic paths like Tatarians? Or were the Tatarians ment to be used with GoR?

Unless you want to mod/map make or wish for it, there isn't.

I was just reading through the spell addendum doc, and they said that transformation can transform a mage into a dragonfly (although its noted that its rare).

Hopefully in DOM_3 50% or more of all units within the game will be possible with Transformation. Or at the very least make the spell available sooner. Currently it's almost never used because most of the changes aren't that great and its so high up in research its usually not worth it.
