Maybe read the "Skill Trainers" below it on the page?

Get it from Captain Greywind in the Ascalon Settlement, north of Lion's Arch.

The skill description doesn't say the number of meteors that hit or the amount of time they fall. Is it a single meteor, or are there multiple ones?

Meteor is a single meteor.
Meteor Shower is about 1 every second or so for roughly 10 seconds...maybe a little less. Each one hits for about 100pts of dmg. I've noticed that maybe only every other meteor actually hits. So maybe it is 10 seconds, with 100 dmg every 2 seconds? + knockdown of course.

You can actually avoid this skill completely if you start running when the spell is finished casting as it takes some time before the first meteor hits.

Probably takes some time as the meteors have to come down from orbit.

Got a question about it though... It says that it knocks down anyone it hits. I'm assuming any "enemies" it hits and it doesn't include the tank that is holding them in place

I only ever see 3 hits from meteor shower, at precisely timed intervals. The animation is totally irrelavent to the effect. (You'll see meteors hitting the ground with no effect at all at the start of it.)

The AoE isn't that large, and there's about a ~2-3 second delay before the first actual hit strikes, followed by about the same interval for each of the other 2 strikes.

This skill rocks in PVE but tough to work with in PVP. Pairing this up with other AOEs is where it really shines.

Meteor Shower->FireStorm->SearingHeat->Fireball

That combo can take out most bosses as long the target doesn't go running off. You really need Fire Attunement to make the most of these big energy spells.

The Fire Imps in the RIng of Fire Isles like to use this one often.
It does a ton of damage plus knockdown, but the area of effect is very small.
A quick sidestep is all that is required to escape its effects in most cases.

I use it a lot on groups of melee foes and it only effects them, not allies. I've stood in the midst of my own attack and never got knocked down.

in pvp you need to pair this with meteor. If a target is standing somewhat still cast shower as soon as its done cast meteor that will gaurantee 2 hits if 100+ the meteor holds them in place for the first hit of the shower
