'''Arcane Torrent''' is a Tier 5 [[skill]] from the [[Wizard]]'s [[Arcane Skill Tree]], hurling multiple small meteors on enemies for as long as the Wizard chooses.

The Wizard calls down a shower of small meteors to create a living inferno where she directs it.

The {{Iw|Sorceress_Fire_Spells#Meteor Meteor}} skill from [[Diablo 2]] has been upgraded and modified. Furthermore, Arcane Torrent can be cast for as long as the [[Wizard]] wishes, with a [[mana]] cost per second, rather than per use.
Arcane Torrent now calls down multiple meteors over a wider area, much like the [[Blizzard]] spell. The key difference there might be the damage type. While cold slows and cold [[critical hit]]s freeze, Arcane critical hits silence enemy [[caster]]s, stopping monsters from using various spell attacks.
Presumably Arcane Torrent would be a good spell to drop on a pack of monster mages, for that critical hit bonus purpose.
Exactly where the meteors come from is of course unclear, as most places in the [[Diablo game]]s have some sort of roof...
Arcane Torrent was previously named [[Meteor Storm]].<div style="clear:left;"></div>

Spell was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] was unveiled, then named [[Meteor Storm]] and placed in the [[Conjuring Skill Tree]]. It was part of the Wizard presentation video, and besides changing name and skill tree location, has been completely unchanged in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demo.
