Meteor cooldown should decrease with rank.

  10 minutes cooldown isn't that OP. [S]There are some people who can outdamage a Rank 1 Meteor in 2 minutes or less anyway.[/S]
  
  
  [S]What I want to know is why does it take 7 seconds to reload another Javelin to throw?[/S]
  
  
  Also I'll mention this: Adniel.

  Because people who use Meteor totally stand there for 1.75 minutes and not do any more damage.
  
  10 minute cooldown on Meteor in a six person party is up to a Meteor in every room/martial arts phase/Lord spawn. That's incredibly frequent. 20 sounds fine.

  Meteor damage and AoE should just double for laughs.
  
  The cooldown is fine though, and so is the load time.
  Asking for a 10 minute cooldown makes it a bit too strong.

  
  What if you could only use it once per real life day but it did five times the damage! It sounds like fun until I think about the training.

  Where's a good place to train Meteor Strike's "multiple enemies hit"?

  Nah, if it was once per life day, why not make it 48 times the damage?
  I wouldn't mind it after I get the master title though. Training it would be way too hard.

  Enemy Behind or Offering, depending on your rank.

  Hey hey, slow down there. I waited hard to get the master title, no need to be so hasty.

  I had no idea the cool down time remained the same...
  I now know Meteor Strike won't be ranked for a long time for me!

  30 minutes is way too much for the skill to be useful. The cooldown should be decreased as rank increases
  
  Rank F-30 mins
  Rank A-20 mins
  Rank 5-15 mins
  Rank 1-10 mins

  
  
  This skill wasn't meant to replace fireball. It was meant to do a huge dent on that one boss which will allow you to take it out easier...nothing more, nothing less. Why do you think magic immune monsters can be killed by this thing?...

  Well, the Stat Revamp, Druid, and Diva patches are all partly because Nexon [S]feels bad for how long they've shafted mages[/S] is tired of hearing complaints about mages, so...

  *shrugs* i never had a problem with magic immune monsters but what the hay?
  
  Anyways, thing is while fireball might be heavy artillery, meteor strike is a tactical nuke of sorts; you need to make good judgement on when and where to use it. You can unleash it from a very safe distance (doesn't draw aggro as long as you're far enough), has a fairly large AoE, and hits much harder than fireball on any given day. That on its own already makes it a very useful skill. Con is you have a usage restriction. Can't use it for everything.
  
  Asking for the CD of meteor to be lowered is defeating the purpose of the skill. If the CD is lowered, it will come with a crippling nerf that will either render it useless and a waste of 520 aps, or make it a very expensive fireball, which honestly, i don't need. But hey, this is my opinion.
  
  If I were to improve meteor strike, I'd make it ignore all defenses, make it fixed damage, make it so the burn effect becomes a sort of debuff on any mob (field bosses included), and make the mobs slow while they are inside the AoE of the flames, all while keeping the CD and ap cost.

  Would be cool if the DoT dmg is still applied full 10s even if the mob ran out of the flame after being burnt.

  Could use further testing. Players with full Fire Elemental gear take 1 damage from the explosion, and unmitigated damage from the scorched ground.
