What to do with my leftover skill points?

[silverace]

I got a lvl 72 strafezon with maxed strafe and decoy, and lvl20 valk. Got enough +skills to have 8 points in everything.....with 12 points in critical strike and 12 points in penetrate.

I'm trying to decide whether I should max my valk, stick some points in multishot, or sink more points into penetrate.....what would you guys recommend?

I'd go with maxing Penetrate. Strafe provides no AR bonus and so your cth will pretty much suffer especially in Hell. You could use Demon Limb on switch for the enchant (read: fire damage + AR) if you have it though. How about your pierce? You need a high enough one to be effective.

I would definitely NOT max multi shot. I have always found that 2-5 points is more than enough and makes the mana-management a lot easier. Also, I have come to absolutely love inner sight for the -enemy defense benefit. I'd say either penetrate, pierce, or inner sight.

Is there any advantage to pumping valk beyond lvl 17?

How about your pierce? You need a high enough one to be effective.

I have 8 points in pierce after equipment. Is that enough?

A sturdier valk with better gear. Slvl17 is just enough to have warpike. 17 after +skills is optimum for builds that do not have enough skillpoints left. A strafer is one build where you have abundance of skillpoints left so why not max it? Valks are your best friend in any situation.

8 points mean 65% Pierce. This now boils down to preference. IMO, Pierce should be at least 80% (slvl15 after +skills) but that's just me. If you have Razortail equipped then you already have 98% Pierce which is more than enough.
