Act I Fire Merc Q's

[Clervis]

I'm pondering if and how you could really maximize an Act I merc's fire damage. I've come across a couple of quandaries. I figure a cool avenue of approach would be to use Kuko Shapoopi (or however you say it) for the exploding arrow and pierce. My questions are:
Would the Lvl 7 Exploding Arrow from Kuko syngergize with slvl 31 Fire Arrow at all?
When applying Facets' +5% fire skill damage, how and when is it applied for hit targets and AoE targets? Does this double stack at all?
What is the radius of Exploding Arrow's AoE damage?

Edit:

Apparently I just found a source that claims that Exploding Arrows don't work for a Rogue, even though it displays the exploding animation. Anybody know if this has changed or has been corrected?

How about pheonix or hand of justice? Both give good damage and ok -fire resist. You could use a great bow or a blade bow for the added atk speed.

Certain missile weapons fire Exploding Arrow when Normal Attack is used: an Amazon who has invested points in Fire Arrow will apply its synergy bonus when using them. When Rogue Scout uses these weapons the explosions may be displayed but they apply no damage.

So that's a dead end :P

But...

Physical attack damage is double what it should be. Non-physical attack damage added by items and skills is not doubled, but converted damage is doubled when using Fire Arrow, Cold Arrow or Fires Magic Arrows bows. [1]

+skills from items doesnt count as synergies. If you want a stronger skill, then get items with that skill. (get items with +fire arrow)

Its called Kuko Shakaku.

Rainbow Facets apply to her fire dmg. But rouges doesnt have any aoe dmg.
If shes equipped with rbf's then theyll work, not if you have them equipped.


Peace
