3 non missable spells? That's wrong. I won't comment on Shadowflare, because it's firstly considered a DoT,a s well as a buff on you and doesn't show in the combat log, but everything else can miss, including energy drain. Of course i'm only talking about damage spells, not something like bane.

Bio, Bio II, and Shadowflare are the only arcanist spells without any accuracy requirements (technically Physick, Summon I/II and Resurrection don't have them either but good luck DPSing with them). You're getting into semantics with it being a ground effect and arcanist dots not being proper 'spells'. It's tool-tip refers to it as a spell and it has a cast time. If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck.

Bio and Bio II can both miss, I've personally seen it. I said what I did about Shadowflare, because it doesn't quite work the same way in application. With a DoT, either the whole DoT is applied, or not at all. Shadowflare, working as a buff on you and ground based, is a bit different. So no, not a duck.
