About ShieldsUp
ShieldsUp monitors your Earth Shield, Water Shield, and Lightning Shield.
It features an easy-to-read text display that shows the number of charges remaining on each active shield, as well as the name of the last person you cast Earth Shield on. Other features include a visual indication when another shaman overwrites your Earth Shield, text and audio alerts when one of your shields expires or is removed, and a condensed display while solo (or for shamans without Earth Shield).
ShieldsUp was originally based on beSch, by Infineon.
Usage
Options are available in the Interface Options window. You can type “/sup” to open the window directly to the ShieldsUp panel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn’t ShieldsUp monitoring my Earth Shield?
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 other units, so ShieldsUp doesn’t try.
Why am I only seeing one charge counter?
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.
Localization
ShieldsUp is compatible with English, Deutsch (deDE), Español (esES/esMX), Français (frFR), Português (ptBR), Русский (ruRU), 한국어 (koKR), 简体中文 (zhCN), and 正體中文 (zhTW) game clients.
ShieldsUp is translated into English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Русский, 简体中文, and 正體中文. To add or update translations, please use the localization page.
Feature Requests
If there’s something you’d like to see added to ShieldsUp, feel free to submit a feature request ticket. Please keep in mind that ShieldsUp is intentionally limited in scope to locally monitoring your own shaman shields, and that requests for features outside of this scope will not be considered.
Bug Reports
If you encounter a problem with ShieldsUp, please submit a bug report with the following information:
- Addon version (ex: 4.0.1.11)
- WoW client version and locale (ex: 4.0.1 enUS)

- Known issue: Dropdown for text output subsection doesn't work properly until the dropdown for text output main section is used once
- Added options for position, padding, typeface, outline, shadow, and colors
- This is a near-total rewrite. The addon is now watching spellcast and aura events instead of scanning every combat log message. This results in inherent support for current and future talents and glyphs which alter the number of charges on shields, and in greater accuracy under many circumsances, including high latency and passing through loading screens. Solo mode now also works as intended.
- This beta version does not yet have a configuration interface. Many settings will translate from the previous versions, but I make no guarantees, especially if your configuration was very different from the default configuration.
