About ShieldsUp

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.

Version 3.0.3.34-beta
  • Added options for position, padding, typeface, outline, shadow, and colors
Version 3.0.3.30-beta
  • 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.
