Sorceresses have become a little weaker again in Diablo 4 with Season 3. A fairly new build has now appeared high up in the tier list: the Meteor build. MeinMMO shows how you play the build and which skills & legendaries you need.
What kind of build is this? The Meteor build is one of the 3 best builds for magicians in Season 3. You cover the entire battlefield with meteors that split into small fireballs and stun, shatter and burn enemies.
The build is made possible by a new unique from Season 3, which frees the meteor skill from its mana cost. This makes the build competitive and even one of the strongest at the moment.
The build first appeared on maxroll.gg, we have expanded it with our own experiences and tips for playing.

Wizard Build with Meteor – Skills and Tips
You need these skills:
While you’re still leveling, use:
You need these enchantments: As a sorceress, you can put 2 of your skills into enchantment slots to receive passive bonuses. Here you use ice blades and teleportation to benefit from the vulnerabilities. Until you find your uniques, you should use fireball as an enchantment instead of blades.
This is how you play the build: The gameplay is quite simple: using teleportation (and the Robe of the Infinite), you gather enemies at one point and then cast meteors until the enemies are dead. The armor provides you with barriers and damage multipliers. Your cooldowns allow you to summon ice blades, which in turn reset the cooldowns. Deep Freeze is your gap filler and resets all cooldown times at the push of a button.

You need these Legendaries & Uniques:
Until you have found the necessary aspects and items, you can resort to a few alternatives. In particular, the headboard and the broken star aspect are only useful in combination. Use as long as:
The best way to farm the diadem is from the Beast in the Ice. For all other uniques, there are bosses again in Season 3 where you can farm them specifically. The best place to get Uber Uniques is from Duriel:

This is how you skill your seneschal:
If you have mana problems, especially at the beginning, you can use resource support instead of arc support. You can find all the stones and the functions of the Seneschal in our guide.
You can generally replace the voting stones with the two Uber Uniques if you find them.
These gemstones are best for setting:
Final Tips: The Meteor build has great potential, but is extremely tiring to level. You won’t have much fun, especially before you’ve at least found the Meteor Unique. You can do next to nothing, especially against bosses, the build is simply not suitable for that. Individual goals take forever. You will probably be better able to use the ball lightning build for leveling and farming, even if you then have to farm for longer. But it will be easier for you.
