Mage/Dark Wizard Help Melee Mage Build W/o Mythics?

So I have a mage build planned out here: https://wynndata.tk/s/JTqRUy

But that requires a mythic gaia, a centipede which requires 8 corrupted lost sanctuary runs, boots which require hive master division, and other crazy items.

I'm looking for a mage build that does decent-good DPS with items that are actually realistic to get, without having to do crazy crap like that

Edit: I've come up with this: https://wynndata.tk/s/sci8r4
and I'm pretty happy with it. If you guys can suggest any changes or something to improve it, please let me know!

 

Maybe something like this? https://wynndata.tk/s/Jyd3LE

This one still needs a master hive item and one from the hive air division. You'll also need to do fallen factory a clouple of times and a decent gambler is also needed to get positive defs.

It's not really a budget build :/

 

Before the nerf Cancer Taurus was good. It is really hard to get a good one now. I still have the stuff for it lol.
