Best mage archtype for leveling?

I'm a level 44 mage and still haven't decided yet what archtype/playstyle i like. What archtype should i go to progress faster in the game?

 

I like using arcanist for xp grinding because Pyrokinesis is good for farming and it makes your melee deal 50% increased damage (and it looks really cool), along with Burning Sigil to lock down an area. I stacked really high into Intelligence to spam meteors. When you get to lvl 47, try to get a Sage, because it's the highest XP bonus wand in the game.
(Yes, you will need to use healing potions because Arcanist can't heal, but it trades heal for high damage)
Pelier is a good helmet for Arcanist because of the melee damage bonus (for Pyrokinesis) and it has lifesteal

 

ty for the advice

 

For now, you can farm in the spider cave right outside llevigar for an optimal lvl 45 farm spot

 

Arcanist's Chaos Explosion and Snake Nest will really help you fill up your Mana Bank so you can constantly cast meteors. Arcanist excels against large hordes of enemies so it will always be the best archetype in terms of farming.
