Meteor is 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.
- See The Meteor for details about the flaming meteor that falls on the Tristram Cathedral, opening the story of Diablo III.

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.
Skill Rank Table
The full stats are not known. This skill advertised around 200-250 damage at level 5, in the PvP Arena demo at Blizzcon 2010.
Trait Bonuses
Meteor may benefits from the following traits:
- Beast Hunter: Damage bonus against beasts.
- Demonsbane: Damage bonus against Demons.
- Just...Stay...Dead!: Damage bonus against undead.
Meteor always benefits from the following traits:
- Glass Cannon: Increases damage done by spells and increases armor.
- Intimidation: Increases damage done and reduces vendor costs.
- Quickening: Increases spell casting speed.
- Power Surge: Increase critical strike damage.
- Penetrating Spells: Reduces the resistances of your target to your spells by 20%.
Runestone Effects
Wizards in the PvP Arena in the Blizzcon 2010 demo gained more damage to their Meteor from the Crimson rune. Precise runestone 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.
Media
You can find pictures in the Diablo 3 screenshot and picture gallery:
