Hey can anyone explain to me what is attack level and how it helps?

I have a sin that can now get the buff Chill of the Deep and I was wondering if it's worth it but I don't know how 16.5 attack level would help.

Thanks.

    1 attack level = 1% extra attack, if I remember correctly.

    Extra attack as in extra attack damage?

    Yep, so with chill of the deep on your hits will do 16.5% more damage, but your regular hits will be slower. It's good for skill spamming, though. :)

    Just to clarify and add to this question...

    The slowness of the attack is really only your physical attack, correct? Skills are unaffected by the slow, am I correct in saying that?

    I don't seem to notice a slowdown when using my big hitters, but when I just melee with my daggers, I notice it for sure.

    That's correct. :)

    One attack level is equal to 1% extra damage.

    And increase of 16.5 attack level is an increase of 16.5% in both physical and magical attack power.

    However, you need to also keep in mind that the slow effect of that skill will only effect your regular melee attack rate. Skills do not class as "regular melee attack" as they require channelling and cooldown. Therefore you can still spam skills as fast as you used to, but your auto-attack will be slower.
