The best pet summoning type of class currently?

[Uncle Nelson]

For some reason I've noticed that I've spent hundreds of hours already on this game but I've lost uhh most of my progress because my save was only local and it got lost because I was forced not to use steam cloud saves because I was using grim internals.

Game also kinda has changed (finally after years lol), so maybe previous classes tier lists doesn't really apply anymore.

I need a pet summoner class that can level up fast but also can destroy end bosses with ease, something that what a pet summoner build would have by default I think.

Edit:
I forgot to mention specifics, I need a pet build that levels quick and easily while also can handle all end game bosses and can do like sr 75+ or even 90 if possible. I need this character so I can get that levelling set because its a pain in the azz to level my characters up again.

Conjurer is class that fits you demand

[phenir]

occultist + shaman is the og pet build. If you have malmouth expansion, either of those combined with necro works too. But then there are also "pet"s that use player scaling like oathkeeper's guardian or nightblade's blade spirit or demo's mortar. Probably could do a funky build with those.

Very unlikely that you lost your local saves. Did you do a switch from cloud to local and didn't do it properly when you added grim internals?

I lose my local saves because I forgot to back them up when I am forced to reset my PC because of Windows 10 being Windows 10 at the time.

I am almost 1k hours (gaming + running in the background for no reason) and I still suck at the game but that save with my most progress is lost, level 100 fire eor archon, sure i havent hit any high sr levels with it but its my most important character at the time.

Now im just trying to do a pet build since it is the faster to level up and more chill.

cabalist is what you are looking for, (necro + occultist )

conjurer is also decent but not as efficient ( occultist + shaman )

[MedeaFleecestealer]

Conjurer always over Cabalist. Skellies are just too squishy for endgame most of the time. Can do main campaign fine, but tackling endgame stuff is another story.

If we talk about pet-bonus summoners then Conjurer IMO. Shaman has excellent auras and highest durability pet with proper Taunt - Briarthorn. Occultist's Hellhound is a very nice summon too. Occultist has best pet-related buffs and Blood of Dreeg is my favourite support skill in the game. Both masteries have super strong resist reduction debuffs. Curse of Frailty is my favourite debuff in the game, period. Conjurer offers the best pets, best buffs/auras and best debuffs. The class is also very well supported with items and sets. Other pet-bonus summoners can beat the game just as fine but can struggle against high SR or against Celestials. Conjurer is almost on par with the best current meta non-pet builds.

Conjurer or Cabalist. Both are heavily geared towards Pets builds.

The best build is one you enjoy playing ;D I am a fan of Necro's and so I often do Necro + Sha or Necro + Occult or something when doing my pet builds but that's just because I love necro's. So yeah, do what you love!

When I say best I meant the best at efficiency not fun, pets builds are so incredibly boring but arguably, they're the most effective builds in the game.

My favorite Pet Build is a Conjurer.
Gear can give you a lot of other pets besides the skill summoned ones.
My Conjurer summons eight pets.
When I finally get a Ghol's Reach drop or a recipe for it drop, I'll be able to summon more pets.
I have had zero deaths and zero issues grinding in Ultimate with this character. 😊

Honestly Conjurer is basically immortal and quite no-brain combo when it comes to pets. It kills everything without too much effort. Yeah, Cabalist, Ritualist or other classes can be quite powerful, I would actually say that Necro-based builds allow you to actually greatly out-damage Conjurer very easily, but you'll sacrifice both defense and ease to play. But I would say that Conjurer is the least fun of the three pure-pet classes.

[Wintermute]

All 3 are relatively equal in what content they can do. Now that Ghol ritualist is getting buffs even more so.

Conjurer is the most tanky and passive of the 3, cabalist is the most active of the 3, requiring management and buff support. Ritualist is the middleground between the 2. I vastly prefer cabalist playstile to be honest.

Nah, the best build is always the strongest

Strongest for what? Strongest in what way?
And no matter what you actually answer to the questions, you are still wrong. Some insanely powerful builds are also very boring to actually play.
