WakeSpams
About
WakeSpams is a simple addon used to announce your usage of important abilities, such as mitigation cooldowns, powerups or interrupts, to your raid, party or in whisper to specific players. Branched out from its bigger brother (a raid cooldown tracker I'm currently working on) and skinned to the bone, WakeSpams is lightweight and straight to the point. I am willing to listen to feature requests, but I will not be bloating the addon, so an in-game config for this addon is probably as far as it goes.
What I initially intended for WakeSpams was to just have announces for Death Knights (as I wrote this addon for the maintank in our guild) and Priests (my own class), however when players of other classes requested to have an addon like this, with other similar addons not fulfilling their needs, I broadened the scope and later uploaded it here on WowAce.
Features
- Announces your dispels and dispel resists.
- Announces your taunt misses (immune, resist, etc).
- Announces your interrupts.
- Announcement of your (and your pet's) important abilities:
- When you activate them
- Countdown to when they are about to fade (optional)
- When they fade (optional)
Interface Options
You can add, modify and delete announcement settings on a per spell through the in-game config. It supports anything that has a spell ID and shows up in the combat log (this includes trinkets and pet abilities, as long as it's the right spell ID).
- Output Options:
- Global and spell specific settings for where to direct announcements based each of the following situations: when solo, in a party, in a raid, in a battleground, in arena, in Wintergrasp or Tol Barad
- Global and spell specific settings for where to direct announcements based each of the following situations: when solo, in a party, in a raid, in a battleground, in arena, in Wintergrasp or Tol Barad
- Adding spells:
- WakeSpams can, when you add a new spell, detect the best settings for it automatically. This is currently very simple, but it will be expanded upon later.
- Manually setting up each spell is also possible.

Posted Apr 27, 2011New untested alpha versions should be available soon. If you are interested in testing these, I would be happy if you could report saved variables database and any bugs you might encounter on the ticket tracker in addition to stability issues. I will however advice strongly against using these in a raid or arena environment. Thanks!

Posted Apr 15, 2011I would like to stress though, that when downloading buff/spell addons (and as they might be broken), you shouldn't ever download versions that were made before Cataclysm unless there's no new version available.
You can find out which AddOn is the culprit by disabling and enabling AddOns in-game from the AddOn list on the character screen. If you have already deleted WakeSpams and restarted WoW, then another addon might be the problem.
As a final note I am not aware of any major issues in the latest version of WakeSpams.

Announce when the spell fades : Check
Also would it be possible for you to add man tide to shamans premade abilities list, including in the announcement the amount of spirit the tide is providing. The amount of spirit is found in the tooltip of the buff mana tide provides.

Custom channel output is already in the addon and I use it myself for a lot of my spells. A bug, perhaps? Try reloading or rejoining channels, otherwise ticket/pm me with a screenshot of the settings dialog along with the names of the channels you're in.

Posted Jan 22, 2011Would love to see support for custom channel announcement, even if it's nothing more than choosing "Custom" and getting a slider bar for 1-10 (max number of channels you can be in not counting guild, officer, party, raid, and bg), so that I can set it to announce things like Hymn of Hope to the guild's healer channel (/5 for me in this case), since it's not information that everyone else in the raid really needs to know.
Otherwise, I very much love this AddOn, and it's popularity in our guild is starting to run rampant.

Posted Jan 22, 2011Thanks for your respond. I guess I'll announce my interrupts without enemy spell link till you find a workaround :)

I'll incorporate the ability to check for different events in the secondary output options soonish. I initially intended for WakeSpams to announce taunt fails only... That some taunts are missing is actually an oversight.
@Devius
I've already had multiple requests for Skull Bash. The problem is that it doesn't act like other interrupts. I have thought of workarounds, but none of them really seem feasible. I'll reopen the ticket once I have time to look for a proper solution (if there even is one) and keep you posted from there.

Posted Jan 16, 2011I love this mod. The only thing I'm really missing, is the ability to have it announce successful taunts. My warrior co-tank uses it too, he adds Taunt to the list of spells and it announces his taunts fine, but since I'm a DK and Dark Command is built in, I can't configure WakeSpams to announce successful taunts.

Posted Jan 13, 2011I have a problem setting up Skull Bash to announce as an interrupt. When I add it I get "SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS"event. When I copy paste the interrupt message I get everything right except the target's spell link. Like this : [Skull Bash] Interrupted: Gyreworm :link. If the I change the event to "SPELL_INTERRUPT" it does not announce at all. And there are no interrupt spells in the spell list for other classes so I can compare to find my error.
Some help please. Also the addon rocks. Keep it up :D

Posted Dec 22, 2010@Malazee
The problem with having spells announced when they start casting rather than when they finish, as per your example, is that the SPELL_CAST_START combat log event contains no target information. So unless I let WakeSpams listen to additional spellcasting events, there's no way to retrieve the target.
In other words: It's the correct combat log event, but it might not have the data you are looking for - At least I'm guessing you'd want to announce something like "Casting Resurrection on X" instead of simply "Casting Resurrection", which is all it can do atm.
You are welcome to create a ticket if you like and I'll keep you posted on when I have added appropriate tracking.

Posted Dec 22, 2010Is there a setting that would enable me to set an added spell to announce when I begin casting rather than when I complete the cast? Similar to the way most channeled spells work (like Hymn of Hope and Divine Hymn).
I added "Resurrection" as a new priest spell for wakespams and ideally it should announce that I am casting Resurrection when I begin, not when the cast completes. I allowed wakespams to detect the spell automatically and these are the settings it put in:
Duration of the spell (in seconds): 0 Combat Log Event: SPELL_CAST_START
I'm assuming I should change the combat log event to something else in order to get the announce at the start of the cast, but I don't know what that would be.
