Which mage Archetype is the most fun?

I don't want to exactly go for the "META ULTIMATE BEST MOST XP LOADOUT" but I just want to have fun.

 

I like Riftwalker personally.
I generally feel like Light Bender is mostly fun in a group or if you like management because Ophanim are cool and stuff I guess
Riftwalker is definitely fast to the point of excess
Arcanist is good if you like high-speed strategy I guess

 

I personally enjoy Arcanist the most because Riftwalker is closest to pre 2.0 mage (which isn't bad, but I wanted a new experience) and Lightbender is simply casting melee and heal spell repeatedly

Arcanist sacrifices your heal for extra mana and your meteor spell is changed drastically to become a heavy projectile that shoots out from yourself, and it's more interesting to play through Wynn without having your heal spell (in my opinion). Arcanist is all about spell spam so if that's your preference, that's what I would recommend

 

arcanist even tho its weak because lightbender is just left click heal and riftwalker is just well, im still salty how they took its potential and just made it a buffed 1.20 mage

 

If you feel it's fun to win combats easily, I think RiftBender (a mixture of Riftwalker/LightBender) is the best. That's the case for me because I feel pain dying over and over again
