MS is not PvP friendly.If it is to be used properly,it should be used in conjunctionj with a hammer warrior using backbreaker/Aftershock. The length of the knockdown gives the time to cast MS and get at least 2 meteor strikes in. MS also does dmg depending on the fire attribute investment,not on the spell alone.However,Fire isn't used regularly in PvP,since the AoE spells like MS and Firestorm can be totally dodged or disrupted.It's decent for PvE,and Echo nukers went the way of the dinosaurs as far as Fire Echo Nuking goes.

Look at gamepressure.com for great maps.

As for Meteor Shower and Meteor, read the skill descriptions.

Meteor Shower is sometimes used for disrupting monk bosses, but even there I've seen problems. Brohn once put up Mark of Protection between meteors ...

me:fastcast nuker.
15 fastcasting
12 fire
glyph of lesser+metoer shower+rodgers invocation= pwnage

another tactic: echo meteor shower + conjour phantasm +conjour nightmare = same damage as uninfused spectral agony. boom- spike

And it only takes...85 energy+20 points of exhaustion...

This is an ok skill in PvE and no one should EVER use it in PvP unless it's an AB or something.

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.

You shouldn't use Meteor Shower with an AoE like Firestorm that scatters (unless there's a very good snare on all the enemies). This will defeat the point of your MS becuase they will scatter after the first hit usually. And just for those still wondering about how many times it hits..."For 9 seconds, foes adjacent to that location are struck for 7-91 fire damage and knocked down every 3 seconds." Do a little math, the visual means nothing.

Here's a map on how to get to Ascalon Settlement:

You can look up the trainer's location and everything you want to know on Guildwiki.

The only time it works awsomely well in pvp was when they used to do MM in pvp. The whole starting area would be full of players and minions and an echo nukers would totally devestate them. It was cool.

Actually MS doesn't scatter them like firestorm does. I quit using FS totally and have stuck with MS. A good combination is to hit them with MS and while they are getting knocked down, hit them with Rodgorts Invocation and then Fireball. They are close to dead after that.

Recently Meat Shower (as its called) as had a second awakening in PvP (it had always been used in AB, I mean organized forms).

It then became WILDLY popular for a few weeks after the GWFC because iQ's "VoD" build for the champoinships exploited how much Meat Shower PWNS FACE at VoD vs NPCs.

Now an ele will carry it alot in HA to pop on an altar where the battle usually is clustered.

ALways used with Glyph of Sac of course. It doesnt matter that it recharges in like 90 secs after that, its for that Pinch instant cast use anyway.

Actually... Meteor Shower strikes every 3 seconds... and knocks down foes every time it hits. It lasts for 9 seconds, therefore it strikes 3 times total and typically hits for about 100 each time, depending of course on how much you've alloted to fire magic. This skill is a favorite for FoW, because of the fact that it doesnt scatter foes AS MUCH... making it easier for tanks to hold them. (VS fire storm, breath of fire, and other such spells that strike every second... and scatter foes horribly, ever since the update that causes foes to scatter almost immidiately from AoE effects.). You can buy it from Capt Greywind in the Ascalon Settlement, and as far as I know this is the ONLY place you can buy it. (Prophecies Campaign, closest to Bergen Hot Springs).

Oh, wanted to say as well.. yes I do realize how old this thread is... just though there seemed to be an awful lot of confusion and anyone coming across this thread might like a little clarification without having to read through all comments to get the gist. lol
