{{U|=Hefaetrus is the Amazonian god of fire and rebirth who lives deep within the great volcano, Mount Arnazeus, on the island of Philios. Although primarily the patron deity of farmers, from time to time he bestows his favors upon the warriors of the Islands, so they may keep safe his congregation. Through proper prayer and the sacrifice of many fierce enemies, an especially brave Amazon can attain the power to imbue her shots with the destructive power of fire, allowing her to rake blazing missiles from her bow.}}

*Adds fire damage and converts a percentage of physical damage to fire damage.
*Normal Attack's [[attack rate]] is used.
*{{Warn|=Fire Arrow's +% Attack Rating is not applied, even though the character screen calculates and displays AR as though it is.}} [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/95795-ar-bonuses-on-ranged-attack-skills-dont-work/] +% AR from other sources is applied. Fixed in D2R. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/yowisn/second_psa_strafe_ar_doesnt_work_either/]
*Conversion occurs after +[[% Damage]] and [[Deadly Strike]] or [[Critical Strike]] are applied and before [[resistance]] is applied: [[Damage Resist]] won't affect converted fire damage but [[Fire Resist]] will.
*Level >49 converts 100% physical damage to fire damage: the arrow still requires a hit-check, but now it cannot be blocked.
*+% Fire Damage synergy does not apply to converted fire damage. +% [[Fire Skill Damage]] applies to the skill's added fire damage but is not applied to converted or weapon fire damage.

 

==Sources==
*Also used by fire [[Rogue Scout]].
