the pet helps, i've almost hit lvl 50 with both heal and mag heal.
for anyone curious though... start with a priest.
the long range and multi-hit makes god lands easy enough. the heals can keep you there indefinitely.
the one negative is the low def. it's best to stay out of dungeons any harder than cemetery until you've gotten some def pots in you.
dmg starts low, but ppl are now complaining to me in-game as my priest is out dpsing them
Priest is great in the early game, just running godlands, and the easy dungeons, (snake pit / sprite / udl). Great range and piercing.
The class may struggle a bit getting soulbound in larger dungeons with a lot of people, but it doesn't seem like that's a primary objective for you. Really any ranged class is ok to use with an uncommon pet, as long as you can manage to dodge shots here and there.
If you can manage to get your hands on a prot (Tome of Holy Protection) from Bes in tombs..then you go from having no armor, to having all the armor, rushing any dungeon at your leisure.
