Hey bro! I recommend Fists of Avalon or Battle Bracers as beginner-friendly fists. Their playstyles are pretty linear, combos deal tons of damage and mobility is the same or better than Double Bladed Staff. Hellfire is really good, but it takes a while to get used to.
When I started out, I just go Mage Cowl, Assassin Jacket, Scholar Shoes. You can go default cape (since you need mana regen when running fists), but once you're more confident you'll want to try Thetford or Avalon cape. This works well for both Ava Fists & Bracers :)

They have their pros and cons. Harvester has a wider hitbox, but you need to be in melee range for it to proc. The cc is also longer than royal, but the cooldown is crazy long. Royal Helm has a longer cast range, but the smaller hitbox can make you miss depending on how good you are with skillshots. The stun duration is also lower, making your combo window tighter. But the 40 second cooldown allows you to cast it multiple times in a fight. Personally royal helm fits my playstyle more. Hope that help!
