Is it true that fire mastery doesnt apply to ranged attacks? I heard it was a thing before but does that still apply?

If so, does the damage stated in the character screen reflect correctly for ranged?

I just respec'd and made a chant sorc so this would be good to know

--------------------
From D2 Basin "+% FSD also applies to melee attacks at time of attack, so it will be applied a second time to melee fire attack damage added by Enchant, Holy Fire and items. Character screen displays +% FSD being applied to ranged fire attack damage as well, but this is not actually the case. In D2R +% FSD (and other elements +% SD) also applies a second time to ranged attack damage. [1]"

I guess that answers my question!
