Is there any reason to hoard skill points in Diablo 2?

Question

Is there any reason to hoard skill points, whether from leveling up or in the form of the occasional quest reward? Can any benefit be gained by saving the skill points for later, or are they best used immediately?

Answer

Although bwarner and Kyralessa are right about the traditional reason to save skill points, now that Blizzard added the ability to reset your points and respec, this is less important. You can invest points as you get them, and then when you are a high level, reset the points and spend them more "optimally." Currently you get one free respec per difficulty level, from Akara in Act 1, and can get more by acquiring certain rare items.
