[edit] Usage
Critical Strike is one of the first skills an Amazon can learn in the Passive and Magic Skills tab. Should be a pretty standard skill for all builds cause who doesn't like double damage? Though maxing out this skill is not a good idea as the points start to drop off quickly, between point 11 and point 20 you only gain 10% to critical (less then 0.5% per point).
Critical Strike will work with any weapon. Critical Strike is a very important Amazon skill because it adds the chance of doing double damage. Since it's passive it can combine with any of the Amazon's skills. The beauty of Critical Strike is that it is a Passive skill so it is always "active" and it will combine with additional skills you may use such as Multiple Shot, Pierce and so on.
Any points put into Critical Strike will give you and your Valkyrie summon the same chance to deal double damage.
[edit] History
Among the arsenal of techniques employed by the Amazon warrior is her ability to study opponents carefully and detect any weaknesses. She can then use these deficiencies in her adversary to strike at precisely those areas that will cause the greatest injuries.
