Simple answer - the info that you read is wrong, no portion of acid arrow is autohit. Thus, you'll need acc to give that damage proc a chance to go off.
(At least, unless city of data is wrong, which I haven't seen yet)

Actually now that I think about it, I can't exactly remember where I read that the debuff was auto-hit. I thought it was Luminara's guide but I just reread the section on Acid Arrow and didn't see mention of it. Must have been a different guide...|

Either way, I probably will slot at least 1 Acc enhancement in it just to be sure.
You probably got Flash Arrow and Acid Arrow mixed up. Flash arrow is unresistable.

Found where I saw it...

*shrug*
Acid Arrow has never been auto-hit. It's always needed an Accuracy. In terms of PROCs, if you're talking about the Achilles Heel PROC it's worth slotting. A damage proc probably isn't worth it though.

Was gonna slot the Achilles' Heel and the Positron chance for energy damage. Someone said with that proc you could light OSA, though with the radius of the arrow that's probably not an efficient use for the power itself, not to mention my Arsonist could just light it on fire...|

P.S. Did they ever fix that bug that made your pets run out of OSA's fire?

Nope. Although they will return to the area of effect quicker once it goes out now. If you're Tech or Magical origin you can light it with your Origin power too. I wouldn't really be bothered slotting it with the Posi Proc to be honest. The tiny AOE doesn't really make it worth it.

I read that Acid Arrow's debuff components are auto-hit but the damage portion requires an accuracy check. I was planning to slot a damage proc into Acid Arrow and was wondering how it would work, if the chance to proc would be based on the auto-hit debuff portion or the DoT portion.
Thanks.
