what type of xbow build are you playing ? there isn't something that is valid for all xbow builds , so we need to know more details . if it's a widowmaker setup , you can read the guide about it . if it's not widowmaker , we need more details .

The JahXis one *can* be nice because of the avoid, especially on hardcore or if youre doing something where you need avoid more than damage (Startled Witch/Nymyr's Shadow, The Void, etc)

I'm still fan of
Python (Xis)
. Esp now when abuse with -def gone and conversion phys -> mag is ever more on windowmaker. Will give you some magic resist reduction, nice damage and also noticable str/dex (read - attack rating) boost. Banish as proc will not give hp reduction to monsters anymore so it's kinda less viable since you're not that multi-elemental build.

ITD is good ye... but it's not working for bosses so why not you put some spare points in dex instead?

I was just commenting on the avoid for certain situations and/or hardcore play.. I don't think the bow is outstanding by any means, but 20% avoid with Death Ward as a lvl 24 skill now is really nice -- situation dependent.

Huh.... You sure? On rake it was working with removing magic immune before Sigma. Or now procs not benefit from hard pts (not point of disscussion but still) and somehow changed/altered? (need to test with smth like hymn on kill but not having this ammy on sp.. and now with removing of immunes its hard to tell about doom). I thought it will reduce magic resist by 10% as if it was DooM on 0 hard pts.

Doom with 0 hard pts has 0 magic pierce.
Rake is mind rake? This will have worked because sin has pts in doom alrdy, and procs benefit from hard pts/synergies

Not 100% sure, will find out
