I think Profit UI has a sort of Autoattack timer, but you won't get absolutely accurate stuff until GU51, which isn't that far off (probably 2-3 weeks).

Even with gu51 if you are switching from melee to ranged it can be pretty inaccurate due to the way the dynamic data was changed. But it will self correct after that one attack, and who really changes much anyways?

Auto Attack Bar~ is the only one available at the time that isn't included in some packaged deal. Keep in mind it ONLY WORKS ON TEST until LU51 goes live.

Probably a newb question, but how does the timer help my gameplay?

I think I understand that it displays how long before my next attack... so what?

so you can time, appropriately, when you use a CA or an autoattack.

If you're in the middle of a spell cast or CA cast while your autoattack is ready, it has to wait until you are done casting for it to fire. So if your autoattack is a pretty big hit (and for most scouts and such i'd say it is) you can increase your dps by timing your CAs and such so that you maximize the number of autoattacks (ie minimize the amount of time that they're "waiting" for you to finish casting).

A visual bar makes it that much simpler to do.
