Balanced Bazooka replacement?

I’ve never played bazooka, but when I watch videos of GR150 clears, I always think “man those huge hits look satisfying”.

What if Smoldering Core had this legendary affix:
“Every second, gain 50% increased damage for your next Meteor. Stacks up to 20 times.”

Would this be OP? Would anyone else like to see a non-channeling meteor build? I want to be clear: I’m not asking for a return of bazooka to meta. All I want is something that has a similar mechanic to be somewhat viable. Maybe able to clear GR130 or so.

Seems like a fair proposal, can still use archon timing just not the 10x modifier with channeling items.

Thus the new proposal should only be 5x mod, so 10 seconds or 25% increased damage for 20s. First one would speed up the build which could be a great thing really.

Thanks for the feedback. The goal would be to keep the feel of blowing up lots of enemies every COE cycle without the absurd power of current bazooka. However that happens, I’m game.
