    I like the idea for this addon, but I'm an atone priest so my target is always an npc so the target shields don't mean a lot to me. I know that a whole window for all the shields cast is a bit of a project, but in the interim would it be possible to get a quick patch to include a window for a target of /focus ?

    Whether you implement this or not, thanks for the efforts on this project. =)

    Are there any plans to say; report at the end of combat how much "overhealing" was done with my shields? (ie. shields that ticked off without absorbing, dispelled /cancelaura'd?)

    Does this addon have a solo mode? It has been quite difficult to find shield strenght addon trackers that is still functioning, which would be useful for a mage or priest on their own. Though i can see it doesnt have a weakened soul timer.

    Oh damn, I just posted an idea in the forums about something like this...

    Using the combat log do you think you could track all the shields that a disc priest can cast at a time? Or can it only monitor just the one that you're targeting?

    Exactly. Every time you create a shield on a person with Prayer of healing, or a Crit from Divine Aegis it would create a count down bar with how much is on the shield and how long it's left, as the person with the shield takes damage it would also count down how much is left on the shield.

    Similar to what the Bloodshield Tracker addon for Death Knights does, with similar functionality of Elkano's Buff Bars (Or Raven).

    Also being able to track Weakened Soul when Power Word: Shield is cast on targets... That's the biggest issue I'm having is knowing when I'm able to cast Power Word: Shield again.

    Ok - was attracted to this by the post on Elitist jerks.
    have fiddled with it a bit in tonights raid, and it's very impressive. there is one point I think would help.

    I use vuhdo (as I'm sure alot of other healers do). This allows me to click heal any raid target without actually having to target them. however it's the tank (and ocassionally melee) I'm actually looking to track with this addon. I will often have the tank as my focus target but not always. Therefore I make the following key suggestion which would (i think) solve the above suggestion as well as make this addon copmpletely imba:

    Allow a sticky box for a target (or multiple targets) so that we can track our tanks/key mellee players wthout needing to select them. I appreciate the mouse over function can do this, but currently the tank must either be targetted or mouse over'ed in order for me to track him. A sticky box for targets we select within the addon itself would make this perfect to use alongside Vuhdo which already tracks weakened soul.

    Let's face it, the only real functional reason to track shields/aegis is calculate the timings of our heals and to ensure we proc rapture every CD. so tracking every player in the raid is pretty pointless and unessecary (IMO)

    Hope this helps. Will keep you updated with any other ideas. Keep it up tho, it's a brilliant little UI addition :)
