Re: My Blizzard-Fireball sorc build guide
Problem solved!
The point is. Meteor is nice to have, sure, but not really needed.
After a while, when you get better gear, you find yourself not using meteor inbetween blizzard/fireball spamming. The reason is simple. With good gear you kill the mobs so fast that the meteor never gets to land before the mobs are dead.
Or, you can tp 2 steps backwards out of range, and let the melee mobs chase you. Then finish them and bomb the range mobs.I'll give a common example to make my case. A mixed pack of melee and ranged CI critters with the ranged at the rear pelting you. With only Fball and bolt you Have to kill the melee first and keep getting pelted. With meteor you can drop a meteor on the ranged in the back and still Fball the melee in the front. As for the comment you can have more in mastery because of the prerequisites to meteor, it is a moot point because of the Much higher damage of meteor compared to Fball, not to mention one of those "wasted" points is a synergy to meteor. On top of that fbolt and meteor both give a 14% synergy bonus to Fball so no difference.
