No skill exists in a vacuum in Diablo Immortal, no matter how heavily players want to use it. Other skills sandwich Meteor in the middle of a sequence. But make no mistake; the meat of the rotation, the Meteor, is the move that steals the show.
Due to several factors, like gear, skills, reforging, and upgrades, it is impossible to list the exact quantities for many of the numbers detailed here. Any variable number has been replaced with an ‘X’ to signify its potential to change.
Skill Selection
The rotation here is quite smooth: Teleport in, throw down a Black Hole to bring all enemies together, throw down a Meteor, use Electrocute until the Meteor lands, cast Arcane Wind while they burn, then Teleport to safety and burn any survivors down with Electrocute.
Gear
The bulk of gamers will be hunting down their ideal pieces of legendary gear after taking the time to beat the game. But don’t forget to track down the set bonus pieces after choosing them from the list. A complete set gives three additional effects, on par with the legendary bonuses from the regular gear.
Primary Gear
The stun may seem tough to sacrifice for Meteor, but consider that bosses can’t be stunned and the Black Hole will be holding enemies in place already, so it’s not much of a sacrifice at all. The extra area burn is a perfect setup for Arcane Wind, which does more damage against burning targets.

Set Items
The Feasting Baron’s Pack is usually a selection for hardcore PvP players, but since all damage will be done to opponents with a disable against them, it becomes come to the Meteor build. The Wizard’s damage, when using the recommended rotation, is flat out increased with the set.
Reforge Bonuses
Even for paid players, reforge attribute bonuses can be guided, but are not guaranteed completely. With enough rerolls, any player can eventually get the exact attribute they want, but this will take time and luck, even for those who have the money. Therefore, several different attributes have been listed within the same family, in order of preference.
Family Bonus
Killing enemies in groups increases the usefulness of the Wildfire family. The Meteor Wizard kills mobs as well as any other build, so expect several Hydras to pop up and assist in every rift.
Attributes
The Wildfire family is home to the best DPS attributes and that’s exactly what the Wizard should be selecting. The Meteor and Arcane attacks are both skills, but Electrocute will get enough love to be bolstered as well.
Gems
There are two kinds of gems to consider for this build: the legendary gems and the regular gems. Players of all income levels will be using this guide, so there are three charts for legendary gems to choose from. Probability demands that even paying for an advantage will still make it tough to get the right gems, so feel free to mix and match from the charts based on the character’s most valuable stats.
Legendary Gems
There aren’t many 5-Star gems the Meteor build doesn’t make use of, since the build uses multiple damage sources. Unless conquering a high-level challenge rift, stick with the most offensive options.

There are many options among 2-Star gems, several of them with more defensive effects than their 1-Star counterparts. However, even the worst 2-Star gem is likely better than the best 1-Star gem solely due to the Resonance bonus.
The Pain of Subjugation stacks well with the Feasting Baron’s Pack set bonus, dealing extra damage to opponents who have lost control. It’s part of the reason Meteor Wizards don’t need too many changes between their PvP and PvE builds.
Regular Gem Preference
Given the choice between tanking and damage, elect for extra damage every time, allowing the best defense to be a good offense.
