Healer hire + Ghale (Summon Monster IX) + Dryad (Primal Avatar)

Anyone ever tried this combination? I'm sure its occurred to a lot of people, but I was just thinking about how annoying it is in situations (eg RWtD) where you have multiple healer mobs in a single fight...if it was something you might be able to recreate in your own favor, have so many auto-healing pets that it becomes difficult to out-DPS the heals.

Or are the ED summons considered the same as Summon Monster summons, where you cant have both out at the same time? Or is the Ghaele/Dryad just too weak/stupid and gets itself killed even with the other healers, and you tanking, or doesn't heal you at all or something?

Just curious, seems like the kind of thing someone somewhere has already tried

This!

Regardless of what you do, you may only summon one creature. Exceptions are Skelettal Warrior, Iron Defender and Wolf companions that are not summons but more like a hire. So summoning the Dryad Elder from PA unsummons any Monster Summoning IX creature.

Eh, just two healers wouldn't cut it then for overlapping HPS, I don't think...and the permanent L1 Gold Star cleric hire from the Starter Pack wont fill that third slot

Yes.
