ShieldsUp

Version: 5.2.0.158

by: Phanx, Akkorian

ShieldsUp monitors your Earth Shield, Water Shield, and Lightning Shield.

Easy-to-read plain text display
Shows your active shields and their remaining charges *
Shows who you cast your Earth Shield on
Visual indication when another shaman overwrites your Earth Shield
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.

Guys, this is why you should follow the directions for reporting a problem, as written in the addon description. There is a reason for each piece of information I ask for. In this case, your character's spec was the critical part. If you don't give me enough information to identify the problem, I'm just going to assume you didn't read the patch notes, and tell you there's no problem, no matter how many times you repeat yourself. I'm far too busy to spend hours trying to recreate every conceivable condition in an attempt to hunt down some vaguely described possible problem. __________________ Author/maintainer of Grid, PhanxChat, and many more.

Thanks for the info. I only play Enhancement and Restoration. I'll make a premade on the beta servers and check it out.

hibiskusfee A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Hello, you say "Look at your buffs in-game. Lightning Shield and Water Shield do not have any charges now. In WoW 5.0" thats not realy true! In the Elemental Spec, we have charges (in beta pandaria and today in 5.0 live) And the pameplay says...."if you have 7 charges of lightning shield, use earth shock for good dmg" We have charges from 1-7. That is the fact because i love this addon. Yeah now LS is not a 10 minutes buff, its a 1h buff, but sure we have the charges and its normal gameplay use earth shock if you have full LS. so please, i need my tracker back regards, kristina Last edited by hibiskusfee : 08-29-12 at 01:51 PM.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2611 File comments: 1692 Uploads: 30	Look at your buffs in-game. Lightning Shield and Water Shield *do not have any charges* now. In WoW 5.0, you cast the buff, and it stays on you for 1 hour (or until you remove it, or an enemy dispels it), proccing an unlimited number of times as long as it's active instead of proccing 5 times and then going away. __________________ Author/maintainer of Grid, PhanxChat, and many more.

That is not a bug. Read the change logs. Specifically:

Updated for MoP changes: Water Shield and Lightning Shield no longer have charges, and will show a "W" or "L" instead of the number of charges.

It shows a W if you log in without a shield because Water Shield is the default self-shield if you have not yet cast one this session. I guess I could add a spec check to default to Lightning Shield for Enhancement, but there are no longer charge counters for these shields because they no longer have any charges; they're just self-buffs that last for 1 hour, with effectively infinite charges.

Zykenwolf A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	As of patch 5.0.4 and the newest version instead of displaying a # it's displaying W if no shield is set and L when lightning is active but no counter. Is this a bug?

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2611 File comments: 1692 Uploads: 30	I'm not sure what you mean by "mod the font choice". There is an option to select a font in the ShieldsUp options panel. ShieldsUp supports LibSharedMedia-3.0, so you should be able to use any font that comes with any addon you use (assuming they all support LSM3, which pretty much every addon that includes a font option does). If you want more choices, just install any of the many SharedMedia media packs that are available; the "original" SharedMedia pack even includes step by step instructions on how to add your own fonts, which will then be available in ShieldsUp and in all your other addons as well. If that doesn't help you, you'll have to be more clear on what you actually want to do. __________________ Author/maintainer of Grid, PhanxChat, and many more.
