yea wait a half second or so before hitting, this bug was around last year too but hole void blade would be removed.
Also if you used empower meteor shower it would work as bait to lure bruisers in, i know when im in bruiser mode there usually first i go for, since most that use it don’t know what there doing lol
And the empowering from the shower would help your one tick move 
Kinda wish if meteor shower was like ice storm without being locked in long casting animation
Liked the idea of baiting bruiser
i have a 625 int set but never really used meteor outside of gen lol so didn’t realize you get locked in lol glad i didnt try it
You get lock for like 3-4 seconds . you still can cancel it by dodging but meteor shower will fade
The meteor perk was bugged and was too strong in opr till they fix it
oh they took the perk thats not even fair for mages, that was one of the perks that made them worth while and able to stand up to bruiser. I barely play mage but that isnt right they took that.
The perk meant to gain 10 stacks of empower
In combat it was beyond 10 stacks which is not intended
In general i would be fine with being locked in meteor shower casting if the aoe dmg was worth it
But yeah after the fix it’s useless again since it’s already so weak lol
they should’a made it 2% each stack to 20 stacks for a time period after which would be at least decent for one big fireball or incinerate. Would have been on par with explosive arrow then. Its ten second after the explosive arrow hits so same time amount should be given.
Well the bug was actual fix for Current meteor shower lol
Well would take very longtime till AGS improve mage skills in pvp and also improve mage in general for pve
Tho I doubt that will happen since non of the devs even play mage
that’s true, if they did basic math 40% explosive arrow should be matched by meteor shower so you would at least have same chance to hit hard and match damage seems like it should be a simple balance but ags… ;p
Funny how bow explosive arrow deal same or more fire dmg as most of fire staff skills lol
na uuh i hit harder if i throw ignited gem in and rune glasses and atunement with fire on it, i can pen a crowd just the fire side of the bow hitting between 3 and 5k each lol thats not including normal damage, tanks dont count lol
Which make it more funny that fire staff based mainly on fire dmg can’t hit similar to bow single fire skill
the part where someone designed it and said it was balanced, while sharpening there arrow or getting there axe or great sword ready lol
I feel they just buff/nerf or add skills based on how much they enjoy or hate the wep not for players or for balancing
they actually admitted in one of there vid’s they have a server they play on, your probably right.
I think someone said that they admitted that they don’t even play mage or healer (not sure if it true i read that in fourms long ago)
And most of their videos they are playing mainly bruiser and musket/bow
they have one healer i know of it, cant remember name atm starts with a, d lol
Atleast healers are safe then lol
its one female in a room of dudes, i know it was a female name and with how ags dose not have gms in game 99% of time it dose not give me hope, they would be smart enough to listen to her lol there might be a few women but you get the analogy
Well most of mmo games have hard time to balance jobs/classes
But AGS main problem is they don’t know how to do it .especially whatever changes they do will effect both pvp and pve
If they only could separate pvp and pve for weps balance things will be easier
