Hey, i'm trying to do a WA where i'm Tracking the Time Remaining on Major CD, i'm already using Omni CD but, it don't let me know Exactly how many time still on friends ( Havoc Meta there ). Is there a way to do it properly without using code ?

is there some kind of cdr for meta ? if yes, pretty sure you couldn't do it without code but if there is no cdr you could use the combat log cast success for meta and just have a specific time for that but if that works omnicd should also work and you wouldn't need to make this in the first place hmm

What exactly is the problem though ? The timer is just not accurate or what ?

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.
