Marksman/ranger/bard is what im thinking/ pet tank/ dps/ self healing

I really recommend going BD/Rift/Assassin once you hit 30+ or sooner.

With rift scavenger you have 0 downtime, and you can take on multiple mobs at once.

Keep False Blade and Dauntless Strike up at all times, kill a target, loot, flash of steel to next target, kill, loot, flash of steel to next target.
I have 0 downtime, and I kill things extremely fast.

You can use this soul set up earlier then 33, around 25+ as shown in the soulset up I linked above if you get 3/3 Rift Scav before going into Blade Dancer.
3/3 Rift Scav is pretty much the bread and butter of this soul set up, gives you 0 downtime for nonstop questing.

It's a very easy way to level. I myself went Assassin/Bard/(defensive soul)
I prefer stealthing to having a pet, and the defensive soul gives a sweet ability that teleports you away from tight situations. If you like the pet idea though, def go with your method because it's a very easy way to level

This can take 6+ at a time easily and can macro shit very very easily with that spec
