oh i guess yeah you have a pet but I guess I assumed this class felt more like an SK using a pet, which is more like just a little budy DPS, as opposed to like, fearing and keeping distance and managing your pet, while you try to do 50% with spells
on that 50% im sure you answered this already but is it like, no brainer that you do the more damage to get exp this way?

Oh nope, you don't outdamage the pet, especially at later levels (I guess maybe some fights against undead and the staff you can?). If you try to outdamage the pet, you are just blowing away a ton of mana and increasing downtime by a lot.
Instead it makes up for the EXP loss by being super efficient and killing more mobs.
And that's why I prefer to at least duo... because I'm not giving up any exp having someone else in the group (they just cancel out the pet EXP loss, which keeps my rate the same).
Then no matter what they are doing (nuking a little as a wizard, helping to dps some, healing, whatever) it's just speeding up my kill rate and increasing my exp.
It's just super consistent and reliable exping (and fast exp rate).
