WF Mechanic/Archmage?

[Monroid]

I was wondering on how good could this build be, and since the release of Artificers may seem far, it is unevitable

So how would you value a Mech I/Archmage II or Mech II/Archmage I? Would it be viable? Would it be self sufficient and good with traps and crowd controll-killing? Are more than 2 levels of rogue a waste on a rog/wiz build?

I know that this new crafting system might be cool, and I've got 2 heavy repeaters with banishing and smiting, pretty great prefixes on a weapon on my current mechanic that I'm willing to TR soon, so, what should I do?

Mech 1/Archmage II?

Skills yes. No problem with this.

Crowd control no. CC spells have DC and DC is directly (spell pen) or indirectly (heighten+spell level) based on caster level.

Archmage Evocation with SLA Magic Missile, Arcane bolt/blast and Chain Missile yes.

If you have magic pew pew (SLAs plus regular nuke spells), why bother with repeater? I'd go with melee + magic nuke + usual rogue skills.

Maybe with some other class that doesn't have 'nuke' I'd go with repeater, but Wizards have it with Archmage/Evocation SLA and it's very good.
