ShieldsUp  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 6.0.3.48
by: Phanx [More]

2016/07/29 — I do not plan to update ShieldsUp for Legion, as shaman shields no longer exist in a meaningful form in the game.
ShieldsUp monitors your Earth Shield, Water Shield, and Lightning Shield.
  • Easy-to-read plain text display
  • Shows your active shields, their remaining charges*, and the name of your Earth Shield target
  • Optional text and sound alerts when one of your shields expires or is removed
  • Condensed display while solo (or for shamans without Earth Shield)
  • Support for all colorblindness modes
  • Support for custom fonts and sounds via LibSharedMedia-3.0 media packs
* Note that Water Shield and Lightning Shield will display a "W" or "L", respectively, except for elemental shamans, who will see a number for Lightning Shield when they have at least one extra charge.

Type “/sup” for options, or browse to the ShieldsUp panel in the standard Interface Options window.
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why isn’t ShieldsUp monitoring my Earth Shield?
A: ShieldsUp only monitors Earth Shield when it’s cast on yourself, or on a player or pet in your party or raid group. There is no way for addons to reliably monitor buffs cast on units who are not in your group, so ShieldsUp doesn’t try.
Q: Why am I only seeing one charge counter?
A: ShieldsUp switches to a single-counter display when you are solo, or if you don’t have the Earth Shield talent, since in either situation it’s only possible for you to have one shield active on a target ShieldsUp can monitor.
Feedback
Post a ticket on GitHub or post a comment on this page. If you are reporting a problem, please read this first. If you are requesting a feature, please note that I consider ShieldsUp to be complete, and will probably not add any new features.
Language Support
Works in all languages. Translated into English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano (partial), Português, Русский, 한국어 (partial), 简体中文, and 繁體中文. You can add or update translations for any language on the CurseForge project page.

Speaking of super long shot. And plans to update this for Shadowlands, since all those shields are making a return?

I know this is SUPER old and a SUPER long shot, but i used to love this add on before they removed earth shield. Since it's back, is there any way to get this working for BFA?

It happens in both cases. The only settings I have changed are the font the position and color, but I also tried resetting everything to default settings.

Interesting. Only one of those should be visible at a time while you're solo. Does it happen when you log in solo, after you leave a group, or both? Which settings (if any) have you changed from the defaults?

Hello I have a problem using ShieldsUp while soloing. The number for earth shield and the W for water shield overlap. I have version 5.4.7.173 installed. This only happens while I am not in a party, but I would still like to fix it. I tried disabling all other addons but the problem persists.

Ok, i ll try to cover all the situation here.

* No specc switch has been made. This happens when i enter the game and immediately queue for BG. After the BG loading screen, the addon display gets messed up.

* No fix can be seen when i spam either ES or WS.

...BUT...

A while ago i logged into the game and entered random BG (iotc). While i had no problems in Stormwind, when i entered the BG it went like this...

After spamming ES on various players and WS on me, on me nothing happened. Even with WS on me, it seems that WS indicator goes right side and gets stuck to 0 (should be left side), and ES comes very close to the other indicator but is on the left instead of right. The gates open.. we run for docks.. and all of a sudden.. this happens :

http://imageshack.us/a/img826/3955/w...0113212704.jpg

So i stopped and ssed it. Nothing really happened when it got fixed. I suspect another addon blocks it. I ll do some research and let you know..

Cheers..
