Addon to announce spell casts

Hi,

I'm looking for an addon which could announce my major abilities over /y when they're used. I tried the RSA-addon but experienced some major issues with spells not listed were announced while spells listed weren't, or sometimes it announced abilities as they faded but not when they were used.

Is there any handy script or basic addon out there which could simply read the combat log for the events I specify and announce them over /y?

Thanks,
Iyona

speakandspell or speakandsay

forget what the name is. But very similar to ^^

As for the other things you asked you can just use a macro

#showtooltip
/cast Flaming Fart Bolt
/y I just casted a flaming fart bolt at %t


Although this gets annoying after a while. I have 2 warlocks in my guild that i have on ignore case they do this. Unless you are a tank using a major cooldown, or a healer using a major cooldown like Rebirth, ankh, or something similar then really who cares what you cast?

Actually this is quite helpful for those who don't use addons similar to SmartRes2. With mana as precious as it is lately, it saves a wasted cast if I see a rez text from someone else. Of course, this not necessary in 5 mans, but not many would bother to turn those off then.

I am a tank and I want to announce my major CDs, Shattering Throw and potentially interrupts.

Will try the suggested addons, thanks.
