Nilfur’s Boast gives us another huge 600% damage multiplier and even up to 900% when you hit 3 targets or less.

The Smoldering Core boosts Meteor damage by 50% damage per hit up to 10 times and taunts enemies towards Meteor Impacts.

The Grand Vizier provides us a 400% damage multiplier while cutting the Meteor Resource Cost in half.

All in all, this build is a powerhouse of Greater Rift pushing, especially in groups where a single well-placed Star Pact can destroy entire screens. The whole playstyle revolves around the precise use of Archon cycles in conjunction with Star Pact and various damage multipliers, in order to unleash devastating Meteor rains onto stacked enemies (see Mechanics). This is an Area Damage (AD) build, since Meteor s can proc it. During Season 27, a specific Messerschmidt's Reaver setup can be used taking advantage of a zMonk using Sanctified Wave of Light. Comet is also a powerful choice for pushing. Star Pact is the strongest one used with Archon to push the highest Greater Rifts while Thunder Crash is used for speedfarming content.

This build can use different Meteor runes. While the Bazooka concept was initially mostly overlooked, it was eventually proven during Season 27 that the build still holds mad potential as showcased here. Since Tal Rasha's Elements comes with severe skills and gear choice restrictions, Legacy of Dreams is a very interesting road to take as it allows for skill and gear choice freedom on top of enabling Reverse Archon and even Shi Mizu's Haori setups. However with Season 20, channeling interactions have been nerfed to bring down that setup, leaving the build in a much weakened state.īut with the Season 27 rework to Tal Rasha's Elements and its supporting Meteor items The Smoldering Core and Mempo of Twilight, the build has caught up to its former glory and beyond! The Meteor Wizard has been dictating the META using the Star Pact from Season 12 to Season 19, especially from Season 16 to 19 with the infamous LoD “Bazooka” build (see Mechanics for a complete overview).
