Bracers of Armor won't stack with Thistledown armor. They are both armor bonuses. Wear a Chain Shirt, you have exactly one level of wizard casting anyway so Arcane Spell Failure doesn't matter much. True Strike doesn't have any somatic components; choose your spells so they are naturally still.

+6 dex is really expensive. Hand of Glory is also pretty pricey for what you're getting, drop the Gloves of True Strike and get Gloves of Dex. You can just cast True Strike instead. I'd consider a Lesser Cloak of Displacement, a Con booster... check out Fill that Slot (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149464), Necessary Magic Items (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=187851), and Bunko's Bargain Basement (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=350.0) for more ideas. A lot of that might not be relevant because you are only using open source material, but it's worth looking at anyway.

Are you looking for advice on your build in general, or just items?

You may get arrows enhanced by arcane archer, but you could still do with some magic arrows for extra damage properties; stuff like +1 shock arrows or +1 holy.

You might get some serious use out of wands, especially if you take Glimbur's advice and get some better, cheaper armour. Choose some useful buffing spells and go to town.

If you can possibly do so get a vest of resistance or add the cloak of resistances' property to your existing magic cloak.

Brilliant Energy arrows. Target is inside a building? No problem, snipe him through the walls.
