Hi,

I'm the author of the Ward Time addon that you'll find in the priest addons section. As part of my ongoing work on the addon, I've added the facility to view the cooldowns of the other priests running the mod in a raid.

What I'm not sure of, however, is what the best way to keep these timers in sync is? My thoughts were to have it simply have it send a "cast" notification which woudl then start a 30 second timer for that user, and then to either leave it at that, or to have a few sync updates to keep the time in check.

It might seem like a silly little thing to be concerned about, but I dont want to send any more messages than is necessary, but nor do I want the timers to get screwed up due to one or more clients lagging up.

Any advice, or suggestions of a better method, would be appreciated.
