how do I figure out the ideal warcry CDR for General's Cry tectonic?

Tried to use some of those spreadsheets but can't match the numbers...

My weapon tectonic speed (per PoB minus GC) is 0.96.

As a lover and veteran of cdr builds, I'm concerned that for this particular one I am screwing myself out of tons of damage by having TOO much warcry cooldown recovery.

Which number in PoB / the game do I need to look at to check if I hit my ideal cdr?

I have never played GC, so not certain. However for other COC builds the skill trigger rate in POB is pretty useful. That is under the calculation page for skill being triggered. In the attack/cast speed box. Might be different for GC given it is a war cry, but I assume they have something similar given GC is pretty popular. If you post your POB here someone might be able to take a look at it.

My understanding is to get these things triggering optimally, there is sometimes a technical limitation of a certain amount of frames that is added into the calculation, that POB accounts for. Again, not certain if it is the same for GC as COC cyclone fore example, as I haven't played it.

POB also mentions a simulation. It is possible that it is not a direct calculation and there are more precise calculations like the spread sheets. I'm playing COC at the moment, but haven't looked at it closely yet myself to the point of optimization. It's been a while and I don't remember exactly. There is information available on it though as these builds are pretty popular. For my purpose currently the trigger rate is what I'm going off.

You are right that it is possible to sometimes have too much speed where the triggering hit is occurring before the cooldown, and then needing to wait for the next hit.

There is also a value for trigger rate cap in POB, which I think is taking this into account. On my current build it a .165 adjustment for server tick rate, and tells how much CDR I need to reach the next breakpoint. Again, this may all be different for GC.

^I am aware of all that....General's Cry is different from "normal" CoC or CwC rules which is why I asked. Trigger rate is inaccurate, due to the delays between summons. But thank you for trying.

I have literally made 20+ cast on critical strike builds, as far back as during the beta and across all the nerfs....I know how they work lol.

Disregard this post: I finally figured it out.
