About Shield Tracker
What's New
- Updated for 5.2.
- Adds the ability to use Blizzard's new total absorbs data. Under Absorbs Tracked you can now select "All", "Selected", or "All minus Selected". Selected allows you to choose individual absorbs. All uses Blizzard's API call that provides the total of every absorb on the unit. All minus Selected takes Blizzard's total and subtracts the absorbs you select.
- Added the new warlock Soul Leech absorb.
Description
Shield Tracker allows you to create highly-configurable bars to track shields / absorbs on:
- You
- Your target
- Your focus
- Your mouseover
- Your pet
- Named players in your group.
You will need to create the bars in the settings. You can access them by typing /shieldtracker or /stracker. You can also access them via the game menu. Press Esc to bring up the game menu, select Interface, select the AddOns tab, then select Shield Tracker. Once you have Shield Tracker's options up, select Bar. Enter a name in the Create Bar field and press Ok. You can then configure that bar.
There is a default font but you can configure the font per bar.
Known Issues
- Tracking the shields on a named player only works properly if you are in a group with that player. It's a limitation of the game client.
- It is best to reload the UI after renaming a bar.
If you find any bugs or issues, please file a ticket or send me a PM.

I can't get the bars to act like bars. They just sit there like frames with numbers on them. The bar itself doesn't move, it always appears full, even when some of the shield has been depleted.
What am I doing wrong?
The bar should move to show the time left on the shield if you only select one shield under "Absorbs Tracked".
I'm guessing you are tracking multiple absorbs. Currently it does not update the progress bar for that. It isn't intuitive to me what the time remaining indicates when you track multiples. If you are using a newer version that has the "All" or "All but Selected", those options use a new Blizzard function to get the total absorbs on someone and that doesn't provide any timing information.
If you setup a bar and just tell it to track a single shield like "Power Word: Shield" then the bar should move and show you the time left on the shield. If it doesn't do that then something is wrong.
I'm working on the multiple shield issue though. I may need to provide options and it increases CPU processing. The question is what does the time remaining mean then? Should it be the shortest/soonest shield to expire? The longest duration? The duration of the largest shield?
Will this work with the new warlock soul leech shield for the warlock and its demon?
I added Soul Leech. It should work on you or your pet.
Great addon! You really should add a screenshot too. If possible you should ass support for the Fury Ward spell. It seems there isn't any addons out there that do support it. Be a big help for the few warlock tanks out there.
I do need to add some screenshots. I need to find the time to do that and perhaps provide more details on using it.
I added Twilight Ward and Fury Ward. You can test them in this alpha. I'll push a new release in the next day so it is available here too.

Works great! You should add some screenshots, it helps for it to be downloaded :)
