Title says it all. Does the Ignite power from the Assault Rifle set need to be slotted for accuracy? It shows that it *can* be, and I know the stated 2.00 accuracy is B.S. due to the way pets work. However, I'm having trouble finding out if the attacks the pseudo-pet makes need accuracy or are auto-hit.

Anyone know?

Slot accuracy. It does have a 2.0 accuracy to summon the pseudo pet. The acc you slot will help the damage hit.

It does appear to require accuracy slotting.

If that's ever in question, the way to find out for sure is to go to the Red Tomax power quantification guide on Paragon Wiki. The link is here: http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/powers/

For powers that summon a pet, you have to find the power itself, then click the link to the pet it summons, and within there find the actual sub-power the pet uses that causes the effect you're wondering about. I believe a power is auto-hit if there is an entry in the "Entities autohit" field. If it's blank, the power has an accuracy check or at least is not auto-hit.

Awesome! Thanks for explaining how to check that Autohit information. Now I can easily look up some of the other similar powers I've been wondering about.
