flameshock and wyrmic questions

can't find anything about this online, except a post from 2011. So what does flameshock actually do? There was a post online saying it was complete paralysis and complaining about it, saying it needed to be nerfed. It looks like it might have been nerfed since it says it "stuns them". However, I assume if it just stuns them and does nothing else it would say "stuns" instead of "flameshock" so it has to be different. If it was changed from paralysis to a stun then it is a huge nerf to wyrmics it seems like.

playing a wyrmic and looking at breath effect.

Also, does accuracy training affect wyrmic skills like ice claw and wing buffet?

My understanding is that flameshock is a stun plus fire damage-over-time combined into one effect. The downside is that if the target resists the stun, they don't get the DoT effect either, so it's not very popular on player talents.

Fire Breath only gained the stun effect when Wyrmic talents were overhauled in 1.3.0, stun in general was nerfed long before that. Also, it's worth noting that unlike Flameshock, Fire Breath still deals full damage to stun-resistant targets.

Accuracy effects all the Wyrmic talents that deal weapon% damage, including the ones you mentioned.
