It all depends on what you want to do with your mage. I'm main mage and I got taint set and voice set. I use tainted set + speed set on any elite map to farm gold or elite kills. Voice set (5/5) is obviously to farm in mauso cos of the GL buff. Those 2 are my main sets but you could get 2/2 endless with DS/hex for maus and a lv66 gun/staff to farm other maps. The weapon is up to you. As you know DS is used mainly for bosses and hex staff for mobs.
The only set piece I always use is the voice belt cos I don't find any other belt better than the one I have (I think nm is better but I don't have nm set so..)
As for pets there's a huge variety that you can use. I have nekro as base pet and when I farm maus I use Lucky as HB for the extra GL). If you can't afford nekro, you can use any pet as base (look for one with a good passive such as armor weakening) and for HB look for an heroic pet (fenris, little bear, krampus, cottonkill, etc) and as AA I'm not really sure cos it depends on the situation. I always have nekro AA in maus (never use magma AA in maus) and for events like the marvelous one I use magma AA when I'm playing with TB tanks or swift AA if there's no TB tank or a rogue w traps. As I said, it depends on the situation.
While you level up don't focus too much on gear until you're around 58-61. Once you get there you can start using Dusk gear.
Hope this helps
Edit: let me know if you need help with skill builds.
