#REDIRECT '''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. ==Background=={{Skillbox|game= Diablo III|portrait= Meteor-arena4.jpg<!-- |portrait-width= -->|active= Active|name= Meteor|ranks= 5|user= Wizard|tree= none|description= Summons a massive meteor from the sky that causes X-X fire damage to all enemies in the affected area.

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==[[File:Meteor-arena4.jpg|left|thumb|Meteor strikes at a Barbarian's heels in the [[Arena]].]]Nothing is known of the statistics of damage for this skill. ==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. <!--==Trivia==''Hide this section unless there really is some trivia about the skill.
