Harbinger of Stars: Meteor procs Meteor + Lightning Meteor wrong FX

This may be two different bugs but it could be related.

The unique belt “Harbinger of Stars” is not supposed to “cast Meteor on crit” by directly casting “Meteor” but it does, at least when using “Lightning Meteor” (Vilatria’s Downfall Set Staff). I have only casted Meteor (one at a time) to test this, there is nothing else that could proc it as far as I can see but additional Meteors are casted (and consume Mana). The additional Meteors are landing on enemies on different locations, not where the mouse cursor (original cast) is.

In addition to that, “Lightning Meteor” shows wrong FX. A few weeks ago it was pure lightning, now the downfall of the meteor looks like a fire meteor, but the impact looks like a lightning crater, see images below:

I noticed the change in the Meteor effect since 0.9j. This happens even without the Harbinger belt, if Meteor is cast manually while wielding the Vilatria’s staff. The damage is still scaling correctly with lightning.

I actually think the combined effect of the Meteor and the Lightning bolt looks pretty cool, and hope that in the future when skill “transmog” effects are added to the game, that there be an option to change converted skills back to their base form, or, like in this case, combine the effects together.
