Random meteor falls on my head?

Okay, so I'm not exactly sure what is happening here, but I've been playing a lot of PvE lately, and I've noticed a nasty little thing happening that I don't ever remember when I played the game lots several months ago: When I am fighting groups of nobody enemies, cutthroats necromancers archers and the like, occasionally a meteor will fall out of the sky onto my head. It hurts, I don't like it.

Have certain lowbie mobs been given the ability to call meteors in or am I just the most unlucky Wood Elf in Tamriel?

    Oh you mean the giant purple AoE thing that comes down and nukes whatever is inside it?

    That's some kind of dark magic ability some of the necromancer mobs have. It has like a 3 or so second cast time where the mob raises their staff in the air and is surrounded by purple magic, and then the attack comes down and does AoE damage.

    Actually it's Illusionists and it's a ground-target AoE that CCs. You can tell it's coming because the Illusionist starts waving his staff and charging purple energy toward the tip.

    Alright so update to this, what I am experiencing is not illusionists or necromancer after all, was just fighting a ranger and an archer, when a blue blast hits me in the head. I'm saying, it looks just like a meteor except the mobs don't call it in, it just directly on me and damages me in the middle of combat randomly.

    Just happened 20 seconds ago. I came right here when the events were fresh, honestly it feels like a glitch the way it happens.

    Hahaha I am stupid, I just realised it is my own damn soul shatter. I forgot it got changed to activating at "low health" instead of "dead", so couple that with a little bit of latency and playing as a super squishy mage, you get the ocational moment when it seems like the explosion is causing massive damage to me instead of the other way around.

    lol That would also explain it, yes.
