Build Overview

The Meteor Meatball build guide is for the Meteor connoisseur. That special someone who just absolutely loves the skill. It's never been the best Sorcerer build, but it's always been the meatiest. While other's parrot the meta... YOU... the absolute giga chad, simply aura farm and flex at World Bosses and in PUGs.

  • Meteor is an interesting build. Starfall Coronet turns it into a cooldown skill that drops a total of meteors per cast.
  • You can get the cooldown really low and use Summoned Ice Blades to make the casting seamless in density.
  • It's a little clunky when there aren't a ton of enemies, but boy does it look sweet.
  • Meteor is actually a Meteorite build with Aspect of Shattered Stars
  • The Aspect of Armageddon is so strong at scaling these Meteorites that we prioritize scaling them over Meteor itself
  • This is a similar build to Blizzard and Glacial Aspect Ice Spikes
  • As a result, having Inferno uptime is paramount to keep up Aspect of Armageddon damage.

Main Skill

  • Meteor is more main caster and a cooldown skill with Starfall Coronet.
  • Casting it procs Aspect of Shattered Stars that unloads meteorites AC-130 style

Ultimate Skill

  • Inferno provides pulls with Prime Inferno and damage with Supreme Inferno.
  • It also enables extra Meteorite damage with Aspect of Armageddon.
  • This aspect is so strong and it is why we scale Meteorites instead of Meteors

Supporting Skills

  • Summoned Ice Blades is the main vehicle of the build and spammed off cooldown.
  • With the Ice Blades enchantment as well you can have 6 blades out.
  • Each time an Ice Blades chops it reduces your other cooldowns by 0.1sec.
  • Six Ice Blades is 0.6 seconds, and they apply in a stacking manner to all of Starfall Coronet's Meteor three charges at once.
  • The result is when all 6 chop at once, 1.8 seconds is taken off Meteor's cooldown. They are essential.
  • Lightning Spear is taken just to apply vulnerable, cast whenever off cooldown
  • Invoked Familiar is taken for the 10% damage by having 1 out. The effect does not stack, so no need to spam it. Just cast once every 8 seconds
  • Fire Bolt is NOT casted. It's just a bar space filler for Elemental Synergies

Enchantments

  • Ice Blades enchant to reduce Meteor's Cooldown with Summoned Ice Blades
  • Meteor enchant for more damage, and to grant 40% damage from the Enchantment Masterlegendary node in the Paragon Board

How it Works

General Overview

Meteor is actually a Meteorite build with Aspect of Shattered Stars dealing most of the damage and using Aspect of Armageddon to further scale the Meteorite damage. As a result, having Inferno uptime is paramount. The good news is this build is stacked with so much cooldown that we can get our Inferno down to a 9 second cooldown, then use Summoned Ice Blades and Aspect of the Orange Herald to shore up the rest.

Defenses

  • The build relies mainly on the Protection passive to get barriers which is fine because every Meteor cast is a cooldown skill with Starfall Coronet so you are constantly applying a new Protection barrier.
  • The build also runs Temerity with a LIFE ON HIT affix on your focus to help make barriers

Meteorites, not Meteor

Temper Meteorites to deal double damage, not Meteor on your Focus. This is an Aspect of Shattered Stars Meteorite build. Meteorites scale off Ranks to Meteor, which is used as a vehicle to make Meteorites.

In addition... Meteor has the Mastery and Core tag, so it benefits from Ranks to Meteor, ranks to Core, and ranks to Mastery.

Critical Strike Chance

You only need to have 45% critical strike chance because the Esu's Ferocity key passive grants 40% and Searing Heat Legendary Node grants another 15%.

The gloves will be hard to get, which is why I put Intelligence on them (a priority stat) over Critical Strike chance. I offloaded the crit chance to the Ring and Amulet, where I would rather have a Max Life roll. Depending on how your Sanctifications and Greater Affixes go, you may be able to drop the crit chance roll on the Ring.

The new shiny mace Orsivane

Orsivane is the new unique Mace for Sorcerer. For each missing defensive skill on the bar you get 40% damage and each of their enchantments for Free! Which is perfect for this build because we want a conjuration skill bar!

This build typically uses a staff with Aspect of Shattered Stars then Aspect of Armageddon on the amulet, but the new mace is strong that we shifted some stuff around... putting Aspect of Shattered Stars on the Amulet as it's the most important aspect.

Free Enchantments from Orsivane

• Mystical Frost Nova enchant that procs off any Lucky hit for 15% damage
• Mystical Ice Armor enchant gives you an ice armor every time you press your potion and gives extra damage to frozen enemies
• Mystical Teleport enchant gives a teleport evade every 3.5 seconds with enchantment master that makes crackling energy for Convulsions damage
• Flame Shield enchant gives you some immunity frames when you take too much damage, which then goes on a 30 second cooldown.

These Free Enchantments do NOT grant additional damage from the Enchantment Master legendary.

Masterworking & Tempering Guides

Bloodied Affixes (Seasonal)

  • Items can drop with a bloodied affix that procs when you are on killstreaks
  • There are 3 categories
    • Rampage (Armor): You want Primary Core Stat per killstreak tier to get more Intelligence
    • Feast (Weapons): You want Berserking for 4 seconds after 25 kills for 15% damage
    • Hunger (Jewelry): These are just QOL effects like more Experience or Rampage items, etc
