Well, I browsed around a bit on my mules, and found a few Cliffkillers,
at least one Goldstrike arch, a Lycander's aim, and some other stuff.
Would any of this be an improvement over what you're using here, and/or
is there any other bow you'd like to use instead of what you listed here?

Nice setup. As for the crafting, what level is the necro then? Crafting
is tricky in that the ilvl of the amulet should become >= 90 for +2
skills, but when you gamble an amulet, it's ilvl could be anything
between -5 and +5 (or something) of the character's clvl...

I have some small experience with a bow, because my SP Zealadin carried
an upgrade Buriza on weapon switch, for those tough monsters he didn't
dare to stand toe-to-toe with, but the results were mixed at best,
especially when I upgraded from 1.09 to 1.10.

Patrick.
