hey man thinking about playing this build, do i really need lvl4 enlighten ?

Hello!
atm im using x2 Enl4 , but u can change 1 of them for lvl3 aswell (just down you unreserved mana from ~240 to ~190)

but if u change both enl4 for 3lvl, u get realy low unreserved mana.

FYI running Clarity + Discipline on mana and a 50% aura like Hatred/Haste on Life would net you much more mana regen + unreserved mana.

help i cant reserved 3aura on my life .it say not enough life

is this hardcore viable?

sure, if u can sustain high es equipment
P.S.: I do not recommend run phys reflect maps

Running phys maps with caster dagger builds is fairly trivial.

Phys to lightning in the gem setup, and if you're still doing too much phys damage, go moonbender's wing and get full conversion.

Spoiler

Hello!
First I want to say, its a lvl/Q of your gems (Echo,CD) and you dont need Inc, critical strikes gem in setup, change it for Inc.Critical Damage (or Emp4 if u have it).
Next. Only three useful stats on your amy, try to find with additional spell damage and crit chance/cast speed.
Also, I had not seen your jewels, huge part of the damage depends on the jewel stats.
Implicit on your belt, try to find same stats on rustic sash base.
And ofc its a character level, in this build is very important each additional Skill Point.

Edit: new dagger added. Higher dps.

Though I dont agree with trying to hijack a thread with your own version of a build, you do bring up a good few questions. Zma, how important is Vaal clarity + inc duration in this setup? Is flame golem + herald of ash more worth it?

Zma, how important is Vaal clarity + inc duration in this setup? Is flame golem + herald of ash more worth it?

Vaal clarity+Inc.Duration enable us to stack 50 blades without mana cost, is usually used only on boss fights.
If we compare Herald of Ice with Herald of Ash:
-HoA gives us more tooltip damage, but overkill burning damage practically does not work in this build.
-HoI in its turn adds to us lots of cold damage, which helps us shatter enemies, so our сlear speed increases.
So, changing HoI on HoA does not make sense.
