Hey there guys. I am reaching out to seek suggestions for builds for completing nightmare mode. I have logged about 20hrs of game play on normal as a dual dagger rouge with real good success. I don't want to waste a play through on normal and not get the achievements, so I want to start over now. I have played through some as a mage on nightmare and have been doing well. Before I dedicate too much more time to this character, I just would like to ask which class/build is the most fun as well as most effective for completing nightmare mode? I have been researching knight-enchanter along with tempest archer. I know knight-enchanter was nerfed some time ago now. Thank you all for the insight ahead of time.

Knight enchanter is still very strong defensively - it's basically impossible to die as one even on nightmare - but it's offensive capabilities took a hit. Damage wise it's probably the weakest of the three mage specs. The defensive nature of it makes it pretty good for a first nightmare run, especially if you cover for that with more offensive minded party members.
But ultimately, all specialisations are perfectly capable of completing NM mode, so really I'd just suggest you play what seems fun, and that is a very subjective measure.

+1, you know better than us what you like and what you don't like. I happen to think Rift Mage is the most fun, followed by Tempest Archer, but I also had fun controlling all of the companions, from IB Reaver to Dorian Necro, and they all have their moments.
That said, I had the most difficulty fitting my DW Rogue Lavellan into the story. As a Dalish elf, I had a hard time headcannoning why he was involved in all these epic events with a bunch of shem. I didn't even have the romance option with Solas, since I ran a male elf. Heck, why would a Dalish hunter even be using two daggers instead of a bow? Don't get me wrong, the combat was great fun, but storywise, meh. So I played him as a Jerkquisitor and did a lot of very mean things, like gave Viv the wrong heart.
