'''Meteor''' is an Arcane a Force [[Wizard skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 2725. 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.

==Synergies==
Meteor benefits from the following [[Wizard passives]]:{{Passive skills header}}{{Wizard Passive Glass Cannon}}{{Wizard Passive Conflagration}}{{Wizard Passive Arcane Dynamo}}None added yet.
<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>
===Beta===Skill tiers were removed for shortly before the [[July 2011 Press Eventbeta]]started in September 2011, and Meteor became a level 24 skill. It was moved up to level 27 during the [[beta]], and when the skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, Electrocute was classified as an Arcane skill and dropped to level 23.For March's [[Beta Patch 14]], Meteor was moved to level 25 and nerfed quite a bit. Also, the category "Arcane" was renamed "Force".
===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.
