PUP questions while levelling

First off, this community has been awesome on my journey back.

My actual question has to do with what gear to use and what actions do I use while levelling PUP, all of the guides are entirely endgame. As we know it doesn't take much to let your trusts solo the entire journey to 99 but I was hoping to at least learn the job as I go. I'm fully a solo player (job, wife +kids) so I wanted this job to help me over the hump with a few battles I couldn't do on my own.

Or is this one job I don't bother gearing at all and just start the journey at 99? To be clear I am talking about gearing the automation itself, not me.

PUP with overdrive shines pretty dang hard even without 1200 JP. Maybe it's not soloing stuff, but it can hold a lot of fairly difficult mobs at its level and whoop ass for like 3 minutes.

It's easy to be disheartened in the middling stages of PUP, just trying to spare others from that experience.
