basically meteor hits 7time now my gear is really crap i just made a lvl 70 and put whatever on and tried it out right now its critting around 3.5mil each
7x3m =21m this is EDPs cuz there is no filler, also some of you might say meteor dosnt hit well on single target well that is true, but i would say it lands pretty well together, i dont want to debate on this for a long time , ok lets say it only hit 3 time, 3 time out of 7 seems resonable right? 3x3m =9m EDPS still pretty good right? and if you can get that number up to 4-5 mil/per hit it would be insane no? any 1 want to take a look at it give some comment? i think it has a lot of potential
A link to your profile or a build page would be helpful. Need more details like how do you effectively use meteor as a primary without burning all your arcane etc.
fact of the matter is, without a generator, meteor spam isnt really effective. the way youre describing your "effective dps" isnt right. you have so much down time between meteor casts to factor in. it might seem ok in group play but if youre doing this alone with no one to supplement damage during your down time, its going to take you a long time to clear anything, regardless of gear. unless you can get an insane amount of resource cost reduction and arcane power regeneration/apoc. having something like cindercoat could definitely make this "kind of viable" but without a generator, youre still going to end up pissing in the wind at some point. theres not really much of a point to cast a few meteors then stand there passively waiting for your AP to regenerate.
edit: after watching the full video and seeing all of your skill choices at the end, i can kind of see this being viable in group play with the right gear. but what you give up to run these abilities is kind of big to say the least. dropping force weapon and sparkflint are a big dps drop and not having glass cannon is a dps drop. definitely give you credit for thinking outside of the box here though. and i do think it could work with stuff like a cindercoat and a decent amount of resource cost reduction, at least enough so you can change some of the stuff like on force weapon, familiar, and glass cannon.
I'm running meteor as main thing- spamming as much as I can but with backup plans- works best in groups- but OK in solo- can do T2 easily- 3 OK - would switch to ice gear/build if T4 solo etc ...

Please keep it all to one thread. I deleted the two other threads.To everyone - if this ever happens, you can click the "report" button and request "self-deletion". Make sure to edit the post that is to be deleted such that it's easy to see for the moderators that the post was indeed just a double post.
I run a similar build and do not use a sig spell. With Cindercoat, Captian Crimson's Set, 10% RCR Paragon points I can spam about 16 Meteors in town hitting nothing. The problem with meteor as your only spender is it get tedious to kill trash and brake objects with the cast-dmg delay. I use WOF Heat Wave along with meteor and with all the cost reduction i literally gain AP faster than I can spend it while spamming WOF. I can complete t3 rifts solo in about 6-8 mins avg.

wave of force is barely the damage of 2 scatterd meteor my "fire" wiz is half your sheet dps, clears t3 just as fast if i have not died cuz lack of gear, also as far as i know heat wave is a horrible single target spell also they cannot be cast together, i can spam meteor while clicking explosive blast
omg someone uploaded a meteor spam build at 16 april >< i uploaded mine 15 and 14 :/
i want to say that after watching a few min of vid, i spam more than him, and i dont use magic missle :3
