The skill descriptions list "damage" and "fire damage" separately.Well that's the way it looks to me, although looking at the Hurricane entry drops a clue that this might not be the case. Having said that the Synergy upgrades from Twister and Tornado, both listed as "Damage" are from physically damaging skills in the first place, so there's more support in a funny way, despite Hurricane listing only Cold Damage up top.
My opinion is that Molten Boulder and Volcano do mixed damage though, considering the listed differences of "Fire Damage" and just "Damage". Note that both of those skills deal with flinging hot rocks around which one would imagine could physically hurt. ;)
To recap:
Molten Boulder gains "Damage" from Volcano. "Fire Damage" from Firestorm.
Volcano gains "Damage" from Molten Boulder. "Fire Damage" from Fissure and Armageddon.
Even the synergies indicate probable Physical Damage.
The most obvious clue is the listing of Damage and Fire Damage up top. Why have two damage entries unless the skills are doing two types of damage. ;)
