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

Skill Design

The Meteor skill from D2 has been upgraded and modified. Now it calls down multiple meteors over a wider area, much like the Blizzard spell. Furthermore, Meteor Storm can be cast for as long as the Wizard wishes, with a mana cost per second, rather than per use.

Exactly where the meteors come from is of course unclear, as most places in the Diablo games have some sort of roof...

Skill Rank Table

Put a table of the skill rank and damage/mana/fury per rank.

Rank 1: 10-20 damage per second for 12 mana per second.

Only Rank 1 is currently known.

Synergies

None known.

Skill Rune Effects

None known.

Development

Spell was first shown at BlizzCon 2008 when the Wizard was unveiled. It was part of the Wizard presentation video.

At BlizzCon 2009, the spell had been changed and renamed to Arcane Torrent, and put in the Arcane Skill Tree.
