'''Meteor''' is a Force [[Wizard skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 25. This skill is among the Wizard's most damaging, calling down a huge flaming stone that deals massive damage, as well as leaving a burning circle that deals [[AoE]] damage to anything in the vicinity.

==~~Skillrune~~ Skill Rune Effects==

The following is a very quick summary. See the [[Meteor rune effects]] page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

==Synergies==

~~Meteor benefits from the~~ The following [[Wizard passives]]provide a benefit to Meteor, runed or not: ~~None added yet.~~{{Passive skills header}}{{Wizard Passive Glass Cannon}}

<blockquote>''Meteor packed huge damage; the most of any skill in the Arena demo. It was very hard to hit with, though. There were several seconds between the trigger and the arrival, and no one stood still for that long in the Arena. These were worth firing regularly since the Wizard was never low on Arcane Power, the cast only took an instant, and the reward for one hitting was huge. They seldom did, though. Smart players would have seen the circle showing the drop zone and tried to lead the enemy into it; Mongrels at least. Maybe next time.</blockquote>

Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], allowing skills to unlock steadily from levels 1 to 30. Consequently, all skill levels were adjusted and Meteor became a level 24 skill.

===Beta===

~~Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and~~ {{Beta skill notes}} Meteor ~~became a level 24 skill. It~~ was moved up to level 27 ~~during~~ early in the [[beta~~]], and when the skill system was once again overhauled for~~ . With the ~~[[Beta~~ Patch 13~~]] in February 2012~~changes, ~~Electrocute~~ it was classified as an Arcane skill and dropped to level 23. For March's [[Beta Patch 14]], Meteor was moved to level 25 and nerfed quite a bit. Also, the category "Arcane" was renamed "Force".
