'''Arcane Torrent''' is a [[Wizard]] Tier 6 [[Wizard skills|skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|level]] 2027, hurling multiple small meteors on enemies for as long as the Wizard chooses.
|name= Arcane Torrent
|user= Wizard
|description= Meteorites pelt the targeted region dealing X to Y damage per second.
|type= [[AoE]] [[DoT]]
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>}}

'''Arcane Torrent''' was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] debuted, at that point named [[Meteor Storm]] and located in the [[Storm Skill Tree]]. It was part of the Wizard presentation video, and besides having its new name and being in the [[Arcane Skill Tree]], was completely unchanged in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demo.
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 27 skill.
