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.
