I am playing Freeze Penetrating Shot build. I found these two but cannot figure out what is more important. One rolled with greater affix but the other has almost max roll on unique affix. How would you think this through? Which one to keep and masterwork?
Update: phew. This was a brutal reality check in my first post here. Turns out my cherished bow sucks and I have to get a better one. I have 5 Lair Boss keys if someone would be willing to take them to high Torment and try to get a better one for me?

I understand that there are ways that I can screw my item up (based on some heartbreaking posts here). I have an Eaglehorn that I’ve been farming for. It’s not even that great of a roll but it’s mine so I cherish it. I added sockets and started to add mastery (level 11 already).
I’ve heard about tempering, and enchanting, and rerolling afixes, and Codex of Power and it is all terrifying. Can someone recommend to me what else can I safely do to improve my item without messing it up?
I also have other questions about general order of crafting and what steps to follow - someone posted an item they like that they didn’t add sockets to? I thought you can always add sockets - are there things that lock the item at any time without ability to do anything more to it?
