I've been running (or trying to) a bunch of characters through smc/ud and now trying more a variety of class/race, the lack of healing skill (and no candle) is a lot more difficult early on.
When you get a class w/o healing/candle do you go straight for the healing quest asap?

(Of course not finding any armor with 5+pv also tends to be detrimental for the smc tries especially w/o offensive spells.)
