The skill fires missiles as long as the player keeps it active by depressing the mouse or keyboard button. Arcane Power is drained at a steady rate during use.

==Background==

The Wizard calls down a shower of [[arcane]] energy, bombarding her enemies wherever she chooses.

==Skillrune Effects==

Arcane Torrent is less viable for melee fighting monsters, as it does not slow their advance and isn't an ideal choice for point blank combat. The fact that the projectiles hit where the Wizard targets makes it easy to move with or "lead" monsters along, bathing them in the very high damage attack for as long as they can survive it.

While Arcane Torrent was in the [[BlizzCon 2010]] demo, it was too high-level for players to select it. Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], and Arcane Torrent became a level 23 skill.

[[Meteor Storm]] was the original name of this skill. The name was likely changed when the [[Meteor]] skill was added. The skill looked like a meteor shower of polychromatic filaments, and rained down considerable projectiles on a single location. The current version is much changed in form and function.

An early version of Arcane Torrent can also be seen in action on video here:
