I have HLD composite, HXB and XB for the run in...all Balanced, 40% SSI, Velocity 50%
I plan to try and use the dual hit spell comp for AI burst damage to finish - with a little help from a variety of complimentary tactics. My understanding used to be that FB interrupted casters better but did less damage than LB - but LB caused a momentary freeze to movement when it was cast - the result being that in open field, you lost your target. Might not be such an issue in the Arena tho..;p
So...any more throughts on FB v LB?

Fireball is better against mages because most people swing a composite at 1.5. The fireball is nice for disrupts.
Lightning Bolt has better damage, by a couple points (well actually depends on their elemental resists, but lightning has better potential).
I prefer fireball unless you're on a stealther in which case I'd say lightning bolt so you can smoke bomb after a hit and not worry about the hit spell revealing you.
That said - if you're looking for a moving shot bow I would not put a hit spell on it, because any hit spell (besides velocity) will make you stutter step when it goes off and you lost 1 or 2 tiles on your opponent.

Being the OP...I intended to ask for preferences between Lighting Bolt and Fireball for final burst damage composite bow kill. I see that I accidentally typed (or got stealth spell-checked?) to LD rather than LB in my original post..pfft
HLD is desireable early on but that final push often needs a little more punch. So let me ask again..Lighting Bolt or Fireball for that last Hit Spell slot?
