First of all: Thank you for this great addon!

I'm in charge of assigning raid CDs for my group and I would love to do this based on bigwigs-timers.

With this weakaura it is possible to directly assign raid CDs to timers: https://wago.io/ERT_Note_Timers
Together with BigWigs, Method Raid Tools (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/method-raid-tools) - Notes and this sheet from Viserio (Pieces) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRk1GYkKkHKY9IadLRi8T1i758qq_c_dGk4mlowfe1YKu4CNyz8_zRsB-ZxYJxwDgI-GbI_uG55NQCP/pubhtml#
this would be the perfect solution for assigning raid CDs directly to Boss Mechanics.

Unfortunately it does not work. A note like "<2> {spell:350039} Arthus Crushing Gaze 1 - |cffc31d39Player|r {spell:165775}" does not trigger, because the Weakaura would need a count of the ability (here <2>).
It would be really helpful if the events triggered by bigwigs (like "BigWigs_StartBar") had a counter for the ability announced.

At the moment we are stuck with giving assignments by time like
{time:00:50}Arthus Crushing Gaze 2 - |cffc31d39Player|r {spell:165775}

Nobody knows better than you, that bigwigs timer are far more accurate than just an estimated time!

I know that is a lot to ask, but I think, this would be a great feature!
Somebody made a WA to give ability counts: https://wago.io/BigWigsTSU , but of course this does not affect the events BigWigs triggers, so its no workaround for me, but maybe helpful for you.

Thanks a lot again for the addon you provide :)

Best regards,
Cherostian

Randomly saw this.
I am looking to try and support attachingc cds to bigwigs timers in the sheet soon. Will be testing it at the start of Vault tier, but wont be pushing anything live until it's tested.
It only has a few use cases, as my timers are generally just as accurate as what bigwigs can make. But there are a few exceptions(Remnant).
