Meteor is also a Tier 6 skill unlocked for the Wizard at level 20.
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.

Meteor returns from Diablo II, with its function largely preserved. Once again it's a falling rock from the sky that deals huge fire damage. The skill is mighty, but the delay between the casting and the rock's arrival requires skill and anticipation on the part of the wizard to hit accurately with it.

Trait Bonuses
None yet known.
Runestone Effects
Wizards in the PvP Arena in the Blizzcon 2010 demo gained more damage to their Meteor from the Crimson rune. Precise figures are not known.
Development
This skill was not in the game during 2008 and 2009, though smaller projectile, wider-area, "death from above" skills like Blizzard and Arcane Torrent were. Presumably the team decided that a larger, single hit, smaller-area death from above skill would be a nice addition to the play balance.
