I’ve unlocked the Meteor Shower devotion skill and bound it to “Fire Strike”, and currently it’s hands-down the most powerful ability in my arsenal. Problem is, it triggers on 30% of attacks and makes it very difficult to pick up items due to the screen always shaking. I have to wait several seconds after every battle for the meteors to calm down so I can pick up items.
In my own game I’ve reduced cameraShakeAmplitude from 0.2 to 0.1 and cameraShakeDuration from 0.3 to 0.2, and it’s been a great stress reducer. Or alternately, maybe the ability itself is a bit too powerful to be firing for 5 seconds on every 3rd primary attack and the frequency/duration should be reduced. Either way.
You could switch to Fissure instead in the Magi. It’s better - multiple fissures stack and are less likely to miss small opponents.
To be honest, I stopped using both on my fire strike pyromancers. Eventually, your fire strike DPS will be so high, Fissure/Meteor Shower aren’t even noticeable damage wise. Eldritch Fire and Manticore, on the other hand, become amazing.
That isn’t to say Ulzuin torch isn’t worth it. The first 4 nodes in it are great. They actually add more damage than the devotion itself for a fire build.
I feel like they should dramatically ramp up the damage on the Meteor Shower devotion, raise its proc chance, and put a longer cooldown on it. Like you said, it gets annoying when it’s falling literally non-stop.
Actually I have Fissure bound to Canister Bomb, because it spawns 100% of the time on both the main explosion and on one of the secondary explosions. It also happens to launch projectiles to about halfway between primary and secondary, turning the whole skill into a huge AOE firebomb. along with +500% fire damage on my sorcerer build I haven’t seen very many creatures walk out of that on Elite.
I tried turning off screenshakes but in general I prefer them on. There are actually very few skills that have a cameraShakeAmplitude as high as 0.2 and definitely no others that are triggering constantly, that’s why I bring it up as a suggestion.
But for sure the option is there, so it’s not a game-breaker by any means.
