Where are your skill/stat points allocated?

fcr is not so important for the meteorb unless you are using fb a lot, you may want to consider different rings

You're PVMing, right?

Why would anyone use Meteorb for PvP?

To OP:

Lidless sucks; use 'Spirit' instead (or a better blocking shield if you've already invested a lot into dex).

At this point you should have maxed Orb, Fire Ball, and Meteor (whatever you do, don't max Ice Bolt).

Then get Cold Mastery to slvl 17 after +skills.

Remaining skill points go between Fire Mastery and Fire Bolt (depending on what you use more, Fire Ball or Meteor).

Less than 1k life is not great, but it's also not the end of the world. I'd be more worried about your low damage first.

It also looks like your resists will be in the negative. It'll be hard to do anything when you die after 1-2 hits from an elemental attack.

Skill allocation is the most important in terms of damage. Try to find rest of Tals set - best set-up for Meterorb in terms of balance between damage, defense and mf.

you did something wrong b/c my lvl 45 meteorb has a 350 orb

[ultradank]

Ya you definetly did something wrong im lvl 85 and my FB is 7.5k, Orb is 650, and meteor is 18k.

Ditch the FCR rings for sojs(bks if you need life), switch to a spirit shield. and I recomend full tals for a Meteorber unless you got uber runewords and such. Load up on skill GCs as well try to get your main skills in the mid 30s.

my 2 cents.

You'd be surprised :P

[MageChick]

Full Tal + P Spirit + magefist, hits the last worthwhile breakpoint for fireballs. I'd recommend picking up a pair of magefists, in addition to the spirit.

Spirit will also give you a nice boost to hit recovery. Spirit + full Tal will leave you 6% away from the next good hit recovery breakpoint. You can make that up in charms or possibly on your boots (not the prefered way).

If you can't get a 35% fcr on your spirit, then you can always equip 1 fcr ring.

[AnimeCraze]

You probably did something wrong. +8 skills should give you much better fireball than that.

[Solus]

Yeah I would tend to agree. Full Tals is a must for any meteorb, with my mf chars I aim for 400% MF and that does me wonderful.

[omik]

Because meteorb sucks?

[PhatTrumpet]

Hark! So sayeth the infinite wisdom of 8 total posts.

So let it be written. So let it be done.
