Mage/Dark Wizard What is the best mage archetype for solo players

I have tried all three archetypes at some point in my playthrough and i have gotten to the point where i am looking to complete qira hive. But i need a strong build with consistency and damage. Its a real dilemma: archanist no health, light bender no mana, rift walker not great damage/aoe. PLS HELP

 

If you want heal, going lightbender-riftwalker combo is best
it has good damage with orphanim once you stack winded on enemies and still has good heals for sustain

 

I agree with Ninja-VK, however when you reach lvl 105 (if you reach 105) you should try this arcanist. Because arcanist in my opinion, is the most fun mage archetype:

Lightbender + 30 winded and breathless is a pretty standard skill tree.
