Archmage has the advantage that it has the same stat distribution as HV. So you don't
have to fiddle with your accessories and enchants when you upgrade to HV. The four
piece set bonus can be very effective if you use powers affected by it. You should be
aware though that Archmage might not be the best choice if you run a Thaum setup
according to the current meta (Tabbed COI, Shard, Steal Time, Sudden Storm), because
you'd never profit from the set bonus then. You'd be better of with the GG set proposed
by focusman in that case - which is easier to come by anyway. You can find a list of
powers affecting/affected by the set bonus of the different armor sets on the first page
of Grimahs Comprehensive Wizard guide.
