This depends greatly on which kind of Amazon you're building. If you're aiming for a java- / bowazon, you don't need to put any more points than 1 as you'll already have high attack rating due to your points placed in dexterity - most bowazon or javazons have dexterity ranging from 250 to 350 upon completion of the character (when you have stopped leveling the character). It is important to note that if you are using the elemental arrows or Guided Arrow as your primary skills that you don’t need to worry about Attack Rating. However, if you're planning to build a spearazon you will need to put some points into Penetrate, as you won't be able to concentrate heavily on dexterity. Some people will argue that if your character is not hitting the monsters frequently enough, you should invest some points into it. This argument is fundamentally flawed as your attack rating is not the most important factor for chance to hit the monsters. The most important factors are rather monsters' lvl, monster defense and the skills / equipment you use.

For skills that require attack rating, we suggest that you get the chance to hit to at least 80%. If it is below this value you will hit monsters a lot less regularly than is needed for good leeching and damage. To solve Attack Rating (AR) problems, try to get AR charms or items, boost dexterity or put a few points in penetrate, but most of all, do not fight monsters that are clearly levels higher than you. If you do, be aware that any points you put in penetrate to help you now may become useless later. Try the other suggestions first. The formula for calculating your chance to hit is listed below. Note that monster defense and level increase quite fast in hell, but once you level up attack rating should not give you anymore troubles and because you listened to our advice you can put away those extra charms and AR items you gathered.
