'''Meteor''' is a [[Wizard]] Tier 6 [[Wizard skills|skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|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.

<blockquote>''Meteor packed huge damage; the most of any skill in the Arena demo. It was very hard to hit with, though. There were several seconds between the trigger and the arrival, and no one stood still for that long in the Arena. These were worth firing regularly since the Wizard was never low on Arcane Power, the cast only took an instant, and the reward for one hitting was huge. They seldom did, though. Smart players would have seen the circle showing the drop zone and tried to lead the enemy into it; Mongrels at least. Maybe next time.</blockquote>
===In Earlier Games===
This skill (unruned) is essentially the same as [[Diablo II]]'s {{iw|Sorceress Sorceress}} skill {{iw|Sorceress_Fire_Spells#Meteor Meteor}}, just with improved visuals and sound effects.
