Always look to get 2 sets on your build, chose sets bonus that match your character class and sometime braking 1 set bonus for monsters set is not worth losing one of your set bonus!
Well after making a serious arcanist build i can now safely say that he will be collecting dust on the server since my new sorcerer build outclass him in every single aspect. In my book arcanist is a very overrated class.
Also since i am doing the same run at the volcanic vents i have discover that my recent Arcanist build is complete crap compare to my brand new magicka sorcerer wearing a mix of necropotence and mother of sorrow it have sustainability and also pack a serious punch. I can litteraly spam my crystal shards! My arcanist was dying so many time that it was embarrassing and with sorcerer i died only twice after 10 runs.
I am a game developper and you should see the amount of studios that went bankrupt in recent years just because of these political extremists and same goes for movies industry that is currently close to non existent.

So currently you have 17 days to complete golden pursuits challenges and there is no need to get the rewards the hard way, there is 20 challenges but only 12 are required to get the rewards so you can head to Wrothgar where a bunch of player are farming a World Boss that have multiple mobs.
Change your difficulty to Vestige and do this boss 4 times and you will have 11 challenges completed, for the 2 last runs you can put the difficulty to seasoned, be careful on vestige don't go too close of the boss or you will get one shot.
To finish do 2 anchor runs and you will have completed the challenge, rewards 40,000 gold, 100 transmute crystals, 2 atronach crate and 10,000 tel var stone.
