Which Burning Arrow Build do You Prefer?

Put Natural Stride in your extra slot. Without some sort of evasive stance, bringing Trolls is just begging to be interrupted. Natural Stride will give you both a speed boost to get to where you need to be to attack/interrupt as well as a way to block attacks. Before NS came out, I would have suggested either Dodge or Whirling Defenses, but NS is really the best choice for a stance when you only have one spot for one.

Xeones, you should quit considering Savage only as an interrupt.
It is an interrupt. There are better skills to fill that slot if damage is the purpose.

nonono vampiric is a no. recurve refire rate is 2.4 seconds, and vamp sucks with that unless i have IAS or RtW or favorable winds, it would be a bit better if i dropped savage shot and put in favorable, but no.

I'd take a vampiric.
It is an interrupt. There are better skills to fill that slot if damage is the purpose. Emphasis on "only". As explained in the post this is extract from, yes of course it's an interrupt, but it's also an attack. And yes of course other bow attacks will deal more damage, but excepted PunShot they can't do both damage and interrupting. Now if you don't care about the damage, and just want to interrupt, Distracting Shot is better. But if you have an offensive build and want to add an interrupt, Savage Shot is the best choice IMO uless, again, you're going to face an annoying foes with a spammable skill you need to interrupt.

Take Poisonous then if you don't like vamp. That will strengthen your shots against secondary targets by lengthening their poison duration.

btw this is PvE, sir mad, and most monsters dont have more than 1 "good" skill, so IMO distracting shot is better. well, depending on the situation, ill switch out savage shot for marauder's shot or something.
and also, radiant armor for this build, correct?

Rotwing Recurve bow is my favorite bow out of my collection which consist out of +30 bows, so i would go with the Rotwing.

yes im real sorry 4 that, u had same build lol. so rotwing is best? i mean for stats not looks. 5 enrgy vs 15^50. u choose? i need to finalize and close this thread.

Go for a +15%^50 poisonous bow and have a +15%^50 Vamp one to back it up. If you don't have enough energy to keep your build running, you probably need to up your expertise. +5 energy is really only useful on a crip shot imo, although it can come in handy to wield after using rebirth if still in battle (i.e. when rezzing a monk).
If you choose only to go with a poisonous bow, you will likely be fine, but I find that it's almost always to have a vamp bow to switch to when using a damage dealing build. -1 degen is nothing and easily made up for even when using straight attacks with a hornbow.

Enemies in PvE shouldn't live long enough for a Distracting Shot to matter.

I said that because we're talking about PvE

In PvP, shutdown is important, so Dist Shot is an excellent choice. In PvE, spammability is more important and targets should not be living for long enough for shutdown to matter. If you need to counter strong monks or monk bosses, then adapting a build for Concussion Shot or Broad Head Arrow is a better choice, but this is the exception to the rule. For this reason, Savage Shot is generally chosen over Dist Shot in most PvE instances.
If monsters have a skill that is really strong, then you are at an advantage to interupt one and then interupt the other monster with the same skill as quickly as possible. The shorter recharge time of Savage wins out here.
