How much HM content could 8 spirit spammers clear?

I had an idea to make 8 spirit spammers, 5 for DPS, 2 heals and 1 utility/support, mostly with signet of spirits and signet of ghostly might as the elites.

Before i attempt something crazy like this, is it even a good idea? how far do you think such a build will get in HM? A spirit wall has potential to be very powerful with insane dps and good protection/healing but it might suffer greatly to AoE spells?

you can only have one of each spirit up at a time--so having multiple sos rits is not really a good idea.
I have done a sos rit and a communing rit (dont remember the elite) as well as some rit healers before and then the other rits were dwg, but only in a real group.

To cover the useful offensive and defensive spirits you only need 3 spirit spammers tops; 1 signet of spirits and two soul twisters.

Ofcourse you can spread the spirits over 5 characters and have 4 of them bring SoGM.

But, spirit damage was never a problem, survivability is however.

Ah lol I didnt even know that different heroes cant summon same spirits. Without having to make another thread, what about 8 searing flames eles? how far could they clear in HM?

Without extreme care, I'd expect 8 SF Eles to fall over pretty quick.
I remember once, me and some friends did a vanquish or two with everyone (I think) running AP builds. It took a while.

You can die really quickly in HM if you're not careful.
