put some points into vitality to start since you dont want to see yourself die. then allocate the rest of the points into intelligence.
As for items, get all heal mastery items (weapon, armor, charm) and get a heal charm with enhanced effect and put that in your acc slot.
Then in a catacomb, simply heal the people in your group and if you're not healing, switch off to your melee (weapon) and attack with that to get xp.
