"Flaming" Stuff

So I found some +2/+2 Flaming Darts (not that there is anything wrong with that*) and have a quick question, what is the damage bonus? Do Flaming, Frozen, etc. items have the same bonus as Wands of Flame, Cold, etc? 6-36?

*Gratuitous Seinfeld reference.

Sounds about right 6-36, however i believe the stronger and more experienced you become, the more cumulative damage you hcan dish out. I remember CD (one of developers) saying that there are many calculations that go into the overall hit power which considers many factors such as experience, strength, dexterity, weapon held, monsters stats and so on and so forth.

I also believe (i may be wrong here) that if you are wielding the flaming arrows, you gain an extra block of sight. This mean you can see 2 blocks around your rogue instead of just the one. I guess you can try that out without much risk.

The above poster is right, but I'd like to add that I've noticed a much higher rate of Lightning specials occuring. I think that is it's specialty.

Also, cold can not only freeze, but occasionally slow your enemy!
