Introduction
Shield Maid is a lightweight tracker for the two Warrior abilities Shield Barrier and Shield Block. The addon estimates the mitigation value of each ability and indicates via a glow effect what ability is most feasible.
The addon adds two icons:
Shield Barrier icon
Shows the remaining duration of the buff as well as the remaining absorb value of the shield. When the ability is not active, a predicted absorb value is displayed.
Shield Block icon
Shows the remaining duration of the buff as well as the amount blocked so far. When the ability is not active, the amount blocked last time Shield Block was active is shown as an estimate.
If you have insufficient rage for the one of the abilities, the corresponding icon is tinted (blue by default).
Comments and suggestions are much welcome :)
Configuration
No ingame configuration is available, but a few configuration variables can be adjusted in the Config.lua file.
Changelog
1.2.0:
Changed the font to a monospace font.
Removed the decimals from the countdown text.
Added an estimated block value which is set to the total amount blocked during the last Shield Block.
Added a glow effect that indicates what ability is most feasible. This can be turned off in the Config.lua-file.
1.1.0:
Icons are now always visible. Set the inactiveAlpha-variable to 0 in the Config.lua file if you wish to hide icons when the buffs are not active.
Icons are now tinted when you have insufficient rage for the corresponding ability.
The Shield Barrier icon now shows a predicted absorb value when the buff is not already active and you have sufficient rage.
1.0.3:
Added configuration options for anchor and scale.
Added several more configuration options for the two types of text.
Added an option to show thousands separators.
1.0.2:
Identifying spells by id instead of name to avoid localization-issues.
Split the config and core code into two separate files.
Set the frame strata to "HIGH" on icons to avoid overlap-issues.
Bug fixes.
