Yes. Any damage sources coming from you of any element will result in a Meteor of that same element dropping on enemies.
If you're attacking with Disintegrate (arcane), an arcane-based Meteor (Star Pact graphics) will drop in the process. While your Sparkflint Familiar is also attacking (fire), a fire-based Meteor (Meteor Shower graphics) will drop. At the same time, if you have Ice Armor - Frozen Storm active, the ticks (cold) will result in a cold-based Meteor (Comet graphics) dropping. Likewise, if you're running Magic Weapon - Electrify while attacking (lightning), a lightning-based Meteor (Lightning Bind graphics) will drop.
That's a really interesting concept for a build Murael. But also a very very long term one (not something you can get in 30-40 hours imho), judging from the rate at which I've seen Set items in the current state of the beta.
So hopefully it's not only viable, but massively powerful as well
Wouldn't be hard for him to test. If he's not using the off-hand (helm, belt, ammy, chest), all he needs to do is throw on a black weapon with the legacy Triumvirate, then run all arcane (or other single element) spells in his skill bar.
Soo... Quad-meteor instant cast? It's like a dream come true... imagine pairing it with the bigger damage Meteor (the one with a cooldown) and a Black Hole... can't wait for that
My gear is focused on Arcane with Arcane skills do more damage and bonus to Arcane torrent damage.
What Im not sure of however is if cool down reduction will reduce the 8 second cool down of the meteors. I suppose I can do some rudimentary testing.
Edit: did some testing on cool down reduction. It appears it does NOT effect the cooldown of the meteors. I started a baseline of 7% cool down reducdion, I couldnt get lower than this as my tals' amulet has 7% cool down. Fought ghom to time how far apart the meteors landed. I purposely only proc'd one meteor so its easier to see and time. Got the 8 seconds listed. With Evocation and paragon points I raised it up to 33% cool down reduction, no change on time between meteors.
Anyone have it that could test this out?
I've only found 1 peice so far in beta.

Working on an elemental exposure build built around the tals set now.
Not that I have any of the gear to play with, but I like theory crafting.

Haven't watched all the streams lately though, so maybe there's some info on those.
I know it does for elemental exposure, but does it effect the Tals set bonus as well?
If I have a weapon with lightning damage, and I cast Arcane Torrent, will I get both an Arcane and Lightning meteor?

Triumvirate does NOT proc the meteors by the way. Im using a legacy one.
On the PTR I'm running this set up:
Arcane Torrent Cascade (Arcane)
Time warp
Bonechill
Familiar - Icicle (Cold)
Magic weapon - Ignite (Fire)
Shocking Aspect (LIghtning)
Blur/Glass cannon/Temporal Flux
