My build, based on ice spike + X’fal damage, and a video inside of lvl 6 :
https://maxroll.gg/d4/planner/0pzp0vo4
I trying to push without the new glyph. I did more than lvl6, but it’s just to show the game play.
EDIT :
I cleaned the lvl9 AOZ in 5 min, then a lucky conduction pylon for the Elites :

NOTE : I DON’T USE TEARS OF BLOOD UNIQUE GLYPH
I have update my build :
https://maxroll.gg/d4/planner/0pzp0vo4#3
I don’t know realy how, but “chill + damages” seem to be a DOT and proc X’Fal Ring.
So for me X’fal is realy better than Blue Roses with Ice Spike.
I also apply Burnning with Fire Bold Enchantment
→ I have Ice and Fire explosions with X’Fal ring
Tal rasha ring just buff the explosions
Key passive Shatter for chain reaction.
The other aspects are for Defences and up lucky hit to proc more X’fal explosions.
I feel Ice blades are better than Ligthning spears : more CDR, and also apply burning
(note : Blizzard don’t apply burning)
Frozen Orb enchantment for NM100 apply burning and proc more X’fal Colf and Fire explosions.

Would love to see a video of the gameplay of your build, you picked up good defensive stuff on the paragon board but I feel there’s room for min/maxing there from a quick glance at your paragon board, I’d maybe drop some cold resistance in favor of extra damage, a legendary node, or more damage reduction vs burning/chilled.
I also play ice spike sorcerer and have cleared tier 8 today.
Here is the vid of lvl6 : https://youtu.be/Nt3a8F5ycKM?si=JOor7X7dxugRFR6o

Nice, I just did t8 also and was smoother, I would recommend dropping lightning spear for deep freeze, deep freeze is amazing in this dungeons, and I am seeing your mobs go unstoppable to quick, it must be because once you engage them they have already been srunned far from your damage and you loose a lot of damage by this little change…Also didn’t catch your stacks on tal rasha but using the gap power that does poison you can up your damage by 15%, if you are using it disregard my comment, I also use on boots the aspect that gives 40x damage when mobs are unstoppable, helps a lot in case you using just a speed boost on boots
Thx for your reply.
- deep freez vs ligthning spear : I tryed both, but I like the spear beacause it apply burning to all (blizzard don’t), It stunt a lot, and deep freez have a longer CD.
- I have permanent 4 stack of tal rasha ring with poison on vampiric power, i don’t understand your point
- boots : 20% more chance or +40% on unstopable or Esu boots that give more crit chances … I’m hesitating. I wana try in AOZ but no more mats to craft key to open … damn it’s to expensive. To craft 1 key lvl 9 it"s 1200 mats, so you have to recycle 10 lvl 100 NM donjon key …
My main issue is on final elites. Cleaning the dunjon is ok, but without a good pylon, final elites are to complicated
You can do 2 a lvl lower do you complete them and you will have the extra powder for pushing 1 time
You could try removing the stun from the spear then, and try it and see it if you get more damage on vinatera before they go unstoppable
Stupid deepfreeze is quite often the reason for my death. When it wears off and something explodes in this second you are gone. Always trying now to insta hit flame shiel once deep freeze is over and if i see some kind of explosion errupting during its active i alemready quit it and evade to the side. Probably i am a noob (tier 4 is my highest so far respectively tier 3 prior to nerfs) but this damn ultimate is pure stress for me 
Yea that can happen, I normally end deep freeze before it’s normal course to avoid this stuff, available cooldowns at the end are really nice…
Considering building a Blizzard sorc using Maxroll’s guide.
Little confused as to rings used in this build. Guide uses a Blue Rose plus a legendary with Prodigy’s aspect. OP uses Tal Rasha’s i suppose for the increased damage?

If you’re using Firebolt enchant, isn’t that what’s proccing Xfal’s ?

I test it without fire bolt enchantement and it proc ice explosions. With fire bolt it add fire explosions.
Test it : remoce all stuff, just take x’fal, and apply 1 blizzard : you will see whites explosions.
I spend about 1 hour in the testing cave to check all skills. The combo Frozen orb + blzzard creat a lot of explosions.
I also saw that some gliph don’t buff x’fall explosions, like flamefeeder
Ah I see. I’m guessing Blizzard counts as a DoT.
I’m not sure, but some other cold spells, like frozen orb proc X’fal … so maybe “chill + damages” skills are conting as DOT. Frost nova (just chill) and Ice blade (just damage) don’t seems to proc.
Chill is not a Dot but blizzard is! It is an area dot.
I just don’t understand why you used firebolt and not using devauring blaze, but now make sense because of the xfall
Although u are missing a lot not using devauring blaze
