I ask this because of choppas Get Stuck In ability; i just dont see the value of it and i wish to know what purpose it serves.
Most of the combat from what i see in WAR is done using ability's so what purpose does boosting yours or your grps AA speed serve? Perhaps this is something that becomes useful in later tiers because right now i dont feel the impact that a 1m cooldown ability should have compared to the slayer's Gudrun's warcry

Well AA speed has a pretty big impact on the DPS of WH and especially WEs in later stages of the game. Besides all AAs procc stuff like Frozen Touch or the DoK covenants, which also can add up to quite some damage.
Edit: And also be aware that , as long youre not channeling any attacks, your AAs will always strike besides you using your normal skills!

Autoattack is a big portion of your damage as melee. I remember on my WL, about 50% of my damage came from autoattacks.

This. This is why AA speed matters. Full hp to dead in two seconds in a Nordenwatch scenario.

tiddlywinks here has 100% haste bonus from all the BS lotd stuff mythic put in, plus his tactic. This results in attacking twice per auto attack rotation because mythics coefficients are simply retarded. 100% haste equals double auto attacks.

lotd aa speed taliys stopped stacking with tactic and they don't stack together when the aa taliys used to stack giving insane amounts of AA speed.
