A question concerning skillpoints

Hi, recently started a bowazon (which I always wanted to do) and I'm loving it™

It's a mostly pvp bowazon with some pvm skills (multi) and I have some leftover skillpoints which I don't know where to put.

My stats and skills are following:

Level:82

STATS(without equipment):
str:70
dex:360
vit:65
ene:15

Now adding only dex.

Skills:
20 Guided
10 Multi
9 d/a/e
9 critical
All other passives and bow prerequisites 1

So I have 19 skillpoints left over at the moment and I don't know where to put them. At first I thought about valk, but that isn't really needed in pvp, I also don't really need pierce with multi that much, since my killing power is pretty decent at the moment.

Also thought about jav skills but I don't know how efficient I can get with only about 20 skill points.

well you can finish maxing multi-shot because it limits how sorcs move (tele) by forcing them to move back.

and as for the rest... i'd do valk just because it is a skill every amazon usually has :D

On multi shot, the damage doesn't increase with skill points if I look at the skill tree.
At least it doesn't say any "damage+% or just damage+" there.
And also, it can't be 12, since I'm already shooting 19 arrows with slvl 18 multi.

well i did say i wasnt sure...
but doesn't multi shot do like 3/4 weapon damage and grow with more points?

I still have this problem.

I'm 89 now, with 26 leftover skillpoints and I don't know what to do with them, give me advice please.

put em into things like penetrate (will help hitting with multi) or crit and the dodges. i mean you'll hit diminishing returns, but if you're not doing anything else with them you may as well. do you use a shield/jav combo vs chargers and other zons? possibly put a few into all the jav skills just so you can use them when on switch.

What is your AR at the moment? Remember, you can never have too much AR.

But yeah, Critical Strike is another place you could go. As long as it actually provides a bonus. It has some pretty horrendous diminishing returns. If it's down to only 1% per skill point or less, then don't bother boosting it further.

maxing cs is useless. Won't do any damage and won't have the synergies nor the -res/+light damage/+skills to be any where near effective.

You can two things, put them in near useless skills due to diminishing return, or put them in other near useless skills.
One point poison javalin or freezing arrow. If people think you are a noob, you'll have a much easier time killing them. Or if people think you are a poison/guide hybride, they will try to stay out of the poison clouds*...

In the end, bowazons arent that skill depending. Left over points have to go in less usefull places.
If only magic arrow was a synergy.

*: I know it ain't that effective, though getting 0% extra chance to do double damage isn't effetive either.

I didn't max CS after all. I put 1 into every Jav skill except LS. Using upped Titans and SS on switch.
Got some more D/A/E and crit strike until they reached the point where next point in them doesn't even add a whole %.

And Rytyj, GA doesn't use AR and in pvm I can manage with the AR I have now.

multi does, and from what I understand, you'll have to use multi about as often as guided arrows. The advantage of multi is that it is good to cover a huge area. Guided arrows won't guide if they are to far from your opponent, with multi, you can cover an area of 120°.
