Question about limitations

[Hipo]

Is it possible to write a plugin that you could place skills onto a toolbar, and when you click that skill the plugin would then impose a cooldown counter over the skill?

Yes, but the tracker would be independent of the actual cooldown information.

I.e., you'd have to have information about the base cooldown of all of the skills in question, configure anything (traits, legacies, set bonuses) that could affect the cooldowns, figure out some mechanism for determining when the skill had triggered (power drop and combat log messages are usually good), determine the delay between the trigger event and the start of the cooldown, and detect any other skill usages that could modify the cooldown.

Perfect, thanks for the info man. Many thanks.
