Parrot
Floating Combat Text of awesomeness.
Displays Events from the combatlog (damage, healing, ...) as moving text and numbers across the Screen. It also supports various other Events (Loot, Cooldowns, ...). Further Parrot offers a Trigger-system to display Text and play sounds on certain predefined events (e.g. Nightfall for Warlocks).

FAQ
Q: "I created a custom Trigger doing <something>. Is it worthy to be in parrots default triggers?"
A: In many cases it is. If you want to contribute a custom trigger to be added to the default triggers, please post a ticket where you describe *exactly* how you set it up. I can't figure that out for every class and every spec.
Q: "Parrot is not showing heals, but it's enabled in the options"
A: Since 3.2 WoW displays every full overheal in the combatlog (even for HoTs). That's why Parrot v1.9.0+ contains an option in Events to "Hide full overheals" which is enabled by default to avoid unnecessary spam.
Q: ''I want to use custom fonts and sounds in Parrot, but there are none available'
A: Parrot doesn't provide sounds or additional fonts (only the fonts included in WoW)
For additional fonts and sounds please install SharedMedia.
To use custom sounds and fonts see the "INSTRUCTIONS for MyMedia.txt" in the SharedMedia-folder.
Q: "Whenever I /reload or log back in again, parrot auto-hides blizzard's default outgoing damage text (the one above the mob in question). Is there any way to avoid having to enable blizz's functions all the time?
A: When enabled Parrot manages the settings for Blizzard FCTs damage- and heal-display. You can enable these features to be used with Parrot in the config (General->Game damage/healing)
Q: "Sometimes when Looting stackable items, the stackcount is off. Why isn't this fixed?"
A: The problem is, that the Interface-event for the Loot is sometimes triggered before, and sometimes after the item was put in the bag (depending on lag). If anyone knows a solution that does not involve constantly polling the bags' content, I'm open to suggestions.

I was wondering if there were any plans to update Parrot to show Slam! (the bloodsurge proc) for fury warriors. Before 3.0.8 I was getting by with watching for Bloodthirst crits but as theyve changed it to a chance on hit of 3 different abilities, I now have to exclusively watch my buff bar. I tried setting up a custome event for this but I was unable to get it to work properly
Soulshard-gains show for me. maybe you just need to enable the notification in the config. The spam-issue with some refreshing abilities is work in progress: http://www.wowace.com/projects/parrot/tickets/16-in-raids-parrot-eats-tons-of-cpu-due-to-ferocious-inspiration/
again: I don't read bug-reports in comments (at least not carefully). To increase the chance of a bug being actually seen by me (and perhaps even taken care of), post the bug via the wowace-ticket-system: http://www.wowace.com/projects/parrot/tickets/
I'm using parrot for sometime now and i cant see when i get a soulshard. Can you fix this please.
Hi I seem to have "spam" problems in my notifications scroll with certain buffs being refreshed via procs. Ones that come to mind are Abomination's Might, Unleashed Rage, and Elemental Oath. For an entire raid all I see half the time in the middle of screen is something like this: +[Abomination's Might] -[Abomination's Might] +[Abomination's Might] -[Abomination's Might] +[Abomination's Might] -[Abomination's Might]
This happens every time the buff is refreshed on my character. Anyway to fix it or change it so I don't see those all the time?
Great addon, I love it.
I'm having a problem with triggers for "when a spell is ready".
If my GCD is active when a spell cooldown is up, the message doesn't appear.
For example. I fire an arcane shot. 6 seconds later my message pops up saying "arcane shot ready". As expected. If use arcane shot, then 5 seconds later I do a steady shot, then when the 6 seconds rolls around, I don't get my "arcane shot ready" message because I'm in the middle of my GCD.
Any ideas?
I'm having issues getting the icon for Eradication to show when it procs for me. Anyone know where I can
A) get a master list of Icon ID#'s B) know of a workaround to to get this icon to show
It's not technically a spell only a buff ot talent even, so I'm not sure if it has a real SpellId.
Anyway I'd love some help on this if anyone knows how to fix this!
Ok... I love the addon. Just getting that out there. But I was wondering if you could add a Full Mana warning. With the new Aspect of the Viper I find myself staying in viper long after i have full mana and not rememebering to change back. If there was a warning exactly the same as low mana but it was triggered by the bar reaching 100% it would be very helpful.
With ignites, fireball and pyroblast tics going by it's hard to track when Hot Streak procs. It would be nice for it to spam across my screen :)
Thanks

Thanks for such a great addon!
Self heals are not showing up. I have them enabled, and I've designated a scroll area. I am a priest. I've tried circle of healing, flash, greater, renew, mending etc. Nothing shows up. When people heal me or I heal them its fine though.
Edit: Devouring plague heal, and PWS heal with glyph shows up.
