A friend of mine was thinking. What if SE decided to merge Elements for this kind of spell?
Meteor
Fire / Wind / Thunder / Light
Ultima
Earth / Ice / Water / Dark

But it is already non-elemental.

I just wonder how we are gonna get the scroll. Or even if it gonna be a scroll. My guess it might be tough like Sleepga II quest line.
How much will it sell on the AH?
Plus would it put BLM's in a weakened state after using it?

Hurry up and wait!

Meteor will probably be a part of the new merit system at level 99. You'll have to unlock it via merits.

"Deals massive non-elemental damage to enemies within area of effect. (!)" from wiki, if thats true and it stays non-ele for BLM, then it wont have an elemental affinity, meaning those MAB wands/staff that people lol at will become highly desired.

My money's on it being a merited spell, like tier 2 AM. Non-elemental, long casting time, takes up all your MP...and every NM you cast it on will resist.

Didn't they find that Meteor was dark based as per Dark Resistance sets vs. Absolute Virtue?

I'm guessing it's going to be dark based, just because it's about time we got a kickass dark spell. Yeah, i'm looking at you DRKs with your drain 2 >.<

I was under this impression as well. When I brought it up in LS a few weeks ago, I got trolled and was told it's dark, but I think people were just saying that because Impact is.

Why would anyone test it on AV? Plenty of other mobs that cast it which will be easier to test resistances on.

I don't think they tested the element of Meteor specifically on AV, but rather that in trying to find ways to survive it, they found that dark resistance reduces damage taken from the spell.

Trying to find the link, I remember reading something about it, however, I might be wrong..

It has not been tested. This is BG. People draw conclusion out of anectotical evidences.

It means an idiot( virtuous saint) went in Limbus, kited the KB boss and ate a few meteor and saw maybe one resist while wearing a pretty low drak resist set.

If you analyze the final ASA fight you will see that only the white magic based shatotto can cast meteor.

Those are two anectotical evidences of two different elements. Which to choose ?

I believe PChan means "anecdotal" and even then ... he's pretty wrong anyway.
