  And a really good way to kill the server...or at least your own client.

  Sounds like 2~4 fireballs to me, once you account for animation, latency, charging, human response/aiming time, and unfinished charges.

  Instant Cast: After use can directly use full charged skill next- R1 12sec duration, 3min cool down
  
  If that is saying what I think it's saying, then you can insta cast> fire fireballs like a fireworks factory on fire.
  
  But I'll stick with it being chain-casted instead of insta-casted...the skill name can be misleading >.>

  The thing is I'm seeing that NEXT and amusing it's only the NEXT skill and nothing else. But if not then <3 XD; Still..12 seconds is...eh. Makes me wounder what it is at rank F-2 and the cool down :-/

  I'm going to guess 4 second duration and 5 minute cool down. Thinking final hit attributes here.
  
  They really should make those 12 seconds into 20 seconds...or decrease the cool down. I don't know...

  This just brings up more concerns regardless. It could mean mages will only be useful 4% of the time. I know we shouldn't make presumptions like that, but everything devCAT touches these days turns to something awful.

  Well when I mean info, what I really mean is info from in game use. Not just text. Sorry for complaining about all this @,@; Just tired of spending so much AP on magic. All I had left was blaze (besides healing magic @,@) and that wasn't counting that one hybrid skill. So now I need EVEN MORE just for a form of chain casting and movement with my spells that I'm not sure if it's till you finish charging or even after you're done and if it still works with 0 stam, just to make them better. XD;
  
  I wont make my same mistake with....fucking..what was it? That hybrid magic skill XD; I called it shity and instantly hated it due the the little info we had and not seeing it. I listed what I think of them so far but I wont go any farther than that as to hate them....Hate them due to more AP cost? Yes. XD; Doubt them a bit? Yes.....ish? Idk. I should shut up now @,@;

  Meteor storm, from the looks of it, will not be THAT op.
  
  1200 damage for 10 seconds, over what might seem to be over a large area.
  Depending on the random directions of each meteor, you may not even hit more than 8 times if your target is tiny.

  Well, if it is still charged based, then I would guess...just use it when you think you need it most...
  
  But either way, for a skill that lasts 12 seconds, 3 minute cool-down is a bit much. 1 min 30 sec would be better... or keep the cool-down but increase the duration time...
  
  I'd opt for the first option... 12 second duration with 1:30 min cool-down. At least then one wouldn't have to worry too much about wasting it.

  This skill still sounds like it can be cataclysmic in proportion. Remember 1200 per sec is the base. Factor in magic attack, staff upgrades and such you have a skill that does at least 3x the base....

  Maybe with the current formula, but who knows what it will be like with the new one.

  Hmm...I guess I meant to say 4x the damage....idk though...might need to wait and see...
  
  I can give you exact damages with the current formula if you want me to...but again it's going to be false info....
  
  Anyways, you're talking about 3500 ish damage every second with the current formula...upgrades stats and everything else applied...

  You don't seem to understand.
  
  The meteors deal 8,200 to 12,000 damage. Damaged enemies catch on fire and receive 1,200 damage per second for 10 second.
  
  Here's an example of the training requirements:
  
  - Deal 300,000 damage to multiple enemies
  - Attack dragons.
