so i can just leave it at level 1 for 1 second cast 
At that point electrocute is probably better/more useful since you can use it 3 times before you can cast meteor again.
Meteor is still good with quickcast from mage 3 but that requires a big investment
Prefer electrocute. You can cast another spell after electrocute than wait like for an eternity for meteor and sit at one spot unless you have a wiz 3.
electrocute is overheat now?
Meteor is trash damage at the moment unless you have wizard 3. I’d rather get freezing sphere or electrocute capped.

Doesnt meteor have 90 second cooldown?
Yes. In terms of dps meteor actually lowers your potential overall.
Meteor lv1 is actually amazing for burst DPS (400%+1k matk with 1s cast), but it lowers drastically as you level it up because the cast time increases like crazy while the damage doesn’t change much.
Despite the constant buffs, still not worth past lv 1. They even lowered the cast time… by 1 second :^)
Have you seen Freezing Sphere in action? I’m really curious about that skill and I can’t find any video of it.
Does it have cast time? How many overheat charges does it have? Does it splash to nearby targets like Energy Bolt?
Anyone knows if boss can get frozen debuff even if they dont get frozen?
If they can’t get frozen or the debuff, then it is quite impossible for electrocute to get the bonus 50% dmg on frozen enemies. Without the bonus and considering the cooldown, meteor might actually be more viable for boss fights if comparing dps.
Can anyone confirm this?
I’ve used it myself, since I have a kr account. It’s pretty much a fancier, faster ice bolt without the freezing effect (though I hope they add it). It does splash and has 3 overheats with a 30 second (give or take) cd. Much better than energy bolt tbh.
@froz3n_mage Bosses cannot have freezing applied to them, nonethless the chance of charging a full meteor is close to nothing - just get level 1 and electrocute for the rest. It’s almost certain you’ll never have to run out of cooldowns now that they added freezing sphere.
That sounds amazing! Any idea what’s the cast time on it? You said faster than Ice Bolt so around as fast as Energy Bolt? Or even faster?
It is less than half a second at lv 10.
Sweet! Thanks for the info!
