Aftermath Meteor Build (Wizard)

Done with my Aftermath Meteor spammer build. Pretty sick combo but kinda hard to see everything during battle lmao haha.

Notable stats are :

70% Elemental Critical (Immolate)

100% Elemental Damage (Blistering)

60% Block, Dodge & Crushing Blow

100% Glasscanon

200% Weaken …

Would swapping 400% Explosive to +10 Meteor Skill (Epic Affix) worth it or no?

Also do you have any build in mind (except summoner build)? care to share? I have spare crystals to spend and try it.

Meteor 40 would be better than Meteor 30 with 400% Explosive.

if you feel that you were doing better with the spike damage with Explosive, you can always put it back. Meteor 40 is more consistent damage over time.

Thanks @Golem , I swap it out, now the Meteor count is 4 meteors per skill falling off the sky.

Meteor 40 is only 3 Meteors dropping, but when you get Meteor Proc, 6 Meteors drop! also, Meteor Proc has same cooldown as the skill, OH!, and with Elements Set, even more Meteors! plus, I see you have Aftermath Bonus, so Meteor is doing 2550% weapon damage, half for the 2 extra meteors. if you get Elements & Meteor Proc at the same time… 9 Meteors!!!

with Shatter having a stun chance, the Taunt & Fear from Aftermath is going to be bad for monsters.

@Golem Why do I sometimes see 4-5 meteors at once? Discordance with 4 multi attacks + 4 extra attack chance counts right?

I’ll make a build and check that out. I won’t have Meteor Proc or Elements Set so that I can make sure if MA & EAC does or doesn’t show extra Meteors instead of just boosting damage. also with Meteor 0 and Meteor 40 to compare. oh, my poor crystals!

It’s possible that, since Meteor gains +1 Multi Attack Meteor at Rank 11 and 21, that when used with Discordance, it shows extra Meteors when using Multi Attack and/or Extra Attack Chance.

what usually happens, the Special that is changed to Primary Skill with Discordance just gets a damage multiplier from those affixes. MA +4 is +200% DMG or 3x DMG.

Here’s a recording of the gameplay @Golem

starting at 0:08 secs, It starts dropping 5 meteors.

I switch my Element (Pet) to a different pet to avoid confusion. If I equip my pet with Element Set, It can drop up to 8 Meteors at once when the Element set procs. (Just ignore the 3 Small Meteors, it’s from MH Mythic Skill “Apocalypse”)

it looks like when it’s 3 Meteors, that’s the Meteor Skill. when there is 6, that’s the Meteor Skill and Meteor Proc.

Elements Set, Specialist & MirrorCast affixes all have a 1 second delay for the extra Meteors.

from the video, the number of Meteors that drop are based on Skill and Proc, but MA & EAC are boosting DMG but not adding extra Meteors.

nice video!

Oh Nice, so it’s mainly from the proc. Thanks @Golem , unfortunately my build doesn’t have Mirrorcast & Specialist.

those are for builds where you want to focus on lots of damage from one skill or get more damage from any skill you are using.
