Xin before his nerf was able to build very tanky with minimal offensive items and still deal a lot of damage. His nerf was to lower his base damage output so that he needed more offensive items to make up for the nerf, resulting in less tankiness. Basically you can build the same as before dealing less damage and being more reliant on your team to do damage, or be squishier and build more damage items.

Xin is still best as a tanky initiator type dealio so I'll still build him with a lot of tank. I don't think the nerf hit him that hugely, really.
