Pick for 11/2: Shieldmonitor (new)

[Seerah]

Shieldmonitor:



One change in the 3.0.2 patch, was that the combat log now returns how much damage was absorbed by a shield spell cast upon you. While there have been addons in the past that tried to monitor shield strength, they weren't always accurate, and they had to do all of the work themselves, as the game never showed the information needed by the addon. Also, the last one I knew of was abandoned and was no longer working. Shieldmonitor is a new mod that uses this new feature in the game's API to keep track of how much more damage your shield can absorb before it breaks. It also monitors multiple shields if you have, say, Mana Shield and Power Word: Shield on at the same time. The shield with precedence (which one takes damage first) is what is shown on the bar and an icon is displayed showing which shield is taking damage. When the first shield is lost, the bar switches to the current value of the second shield, and the icon and bar color change accordingly.
