Arcane archer + assassin, mechanics?

[Noes631]

Hello!

Have a question about arcane archer - assassin multi mechanics:   If i attack from stealth or invis with imbue:fireball + ring of focused flame + watershaper's rob + rod's modal - what kind of damage i can get? I mean will imbue:fireball AOE get a bonus from assassin to accuracy and pen?

No it will not. Because first the actual projectile (arrow) will hit the enemy (with the assassinate bonus) which then lifts the invisibility immediately. All following attack rolls from AoEs and whatnot will be done when you are already visible, so no assassinate bonus.
