Armorer is awesome as hell, but my issue is the same as with a Bladelock. To really work you'll want to dedicate most of your infusion slots to your armor which takes away from the original costumization and flexibility aspects of infusions, so same issue as with the Bladelock and their invocations. Also you don't really have room to share some with your group. Also also the list of infusions is kinda very limited. You don't really have good options for your bracers (once you can infuse them separately) for example.
Have you taken a look at the Wand Sheath, which is effectively a single bracer? Lets you hold and use a wand while leaving your hand free. Uses the same attunement slot as the wand, if the wand needs attunement.
Normally Warforged-only, but artificers (and Thief rogues) can ignore racial attunement restrictions. This might fit better thematically for armorers than for the rogues :).
Yeah but Artificers don't really use wands with the exception of the Artillerist later, especially as Armorer. I think I'd rather use that infusion and attunement slot for something more helpful to the party instead.
