Currently I have a Gold Vampiric Long Bow with a 5 life steal. I also have the +1 Marksman (18% chance). To me that seems kinda pointless. Im assuming that is the Bow Grip of this bow. I would like to switch it out (possible?) but I am uncertain to witch grip.

Anything that increase damage would be nice. Thanks for the help.

The first thing to consider is its damage, is it max damage or not? If no, then your going to want a different bow eventually. The color of the bow isnt relevant, it only indicates rarity, but rarity doesnt matter since there is only 1 mod you cant change. The marksmanship is the bow grip, like you thought, making the life steal the string. I cant suggest a good grip, dont play rangers. I think there is an increase poison length something, but its probably a string...might be a good option if you can get increase poison in a grip..

it is indeed a max dmg bow. So I will not be getting a new one. I have a maxed out string which is what i wanted. Now I would like the grip to pack more of a punch or atleast be more useful then what I currently have.
