Mage/Dark Wizard Monster Arcane Mage

Hello! I was looking at a bunch of builds and was wondering if monster would be a good mythic for arcane mage, given its lifesteal. Would something like hppeng's ETF monster build be viable, or would another build be viable?
Also, does arcane mage do more damage than riftwalker?

 

Arcanist is weaker than Riftwalker, in fact Arcanist is the weakest at least for now.

 

Given how op warp + riftwalker is, I believe it's gonna get a nerf. I am not sure whether they will nerf winded in general, or just tp being op. On that note, is there a good monster build for riftwalker? And is arcanist remotely viable?

 

Arcanist is great fun if you have survivalability
Basically the point is that you sacrifice health sustain for mana sustain and lots of explosions

 

Yes Arcanist is viable if you know how to play it
Here’s a riftwalker build
https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/build...TN0OM0Qn000o1m2M001g00001006COzz++++-tzbfxD+6
WynnBuilder build:
> Albacore
> Medeis
> Adrenaline
> Condensation
> Moon Pool Circlet
> Intensity
> Dragon's Eye Bracelet
> Diamond Hydro Necklace
> Monster [f6f6f6]
If you want to be support be light blender instead

WynnBuilder build:
> Blue Mask

> Anxiolytic
> Steamjet Walkers
> Prism
> Prism
> Prowess
> Diamond Hydro Necklace
> Fatal [t6f6f6]
> (Has Tomes)
this isn’t even warp but it’s still insanely broken in mana aspects

 

Could this work for arcanist if I restructure the ability tree?

 

Without winded the dmg will just die

to play well with arcanist, you need to be moderably tanky and have extra hp sustain cuz no heal, monster is good at that
riftwalker is still better rn, but balancing changes are still coming
here is an arcanist one
