There's 3 main approaches to tracking the CDs of others:
1. You catch the event for them casting an ability and start a timer for the base CD time.
2. You try to gather as much info about them as you can, their talents, traits and buffs, then start a timer based on the base CD, adjusted with the info you were able to gather.
3. You send Addon Messages to each other with your current actual CD times.
• The first is inaccurate - especially on longer CD with more chance for procs and talents to reduce things - but simple and easy to get up and running. If you need a rough guide then this is fine and can be done with a default Event - Combat log - Spell - Cast Success trigger.
○ This is also the only real option if you're trying to track the CDs of enemies.
• The second is a lot of work and there's still always going to be some information you're unable to gather.
• The third is the most accurate but requires that both users have a WA or Addon.

tracking other players cooldowns is not something that is easily done

to have the buff on me is easy , but is it hard to have it show CD once the buff is off of me ? say the spell has 10 sec duration 1 min cd , after 10 sec duration it starts a 1min cd

unless they have a talent that reduces the cooldown or a chance to reduce the cooldown or something else that reduces the cooldown
you can't get that info. They have to send it to you.

that part is ok they dont have such talents "they dont use the talents"
