Changelog

0.5.6

• Fixed shield bars disappearing in combat when an unrelated buff expired. Mana Shield requires a nearby hit attributed to it. The other shields require an absorbed hit and a change in total absorb.
• A new buff gained near an absorbed hit no longer triggers a guessed Power Word: Shield. Incomplete aura scans leave tracked shields in place.

0.5.5

• Fixed: Power Word: Shield cast on yourself in combat showed only a small part of the arc. Your own cast wasn't recognized when the game reported your name with the realm, so the shield was treated as someone else's with a far too large maximum.
• Missing spell descriptions (they load in the background) are fetched again out of combat, so shield sizes are known before the first fight.

0.5.4

• Fixed: the Mana Shield arc stayed after the shield broke. A shield that breaks in combat is now recognized and its arc disappears.
• Mana Shield shrinks with every hit it absorbs. WoW: Forever hides your mana and the damage numbers from addons, so the amount is an estimate (shown with ~): after each fight AbsorbArc reads from the game's damage meter how much your Mana Shield really absorbed, and learns per enemy and level how much one absorbed hit takes. New enemies use what it learned from enemies of a similar level. A Mana Shield that survives a fight shows its exact remaining amount afterwards.
• /aa debug also writes a log into the saved variables; /aa total shows the game's total absorb (for testing).

0.5.3

• The download now contains only the files the game needs (no README, license or screenshots).

0.5.2

First release for WoW: Forever.

• Arcs for Ice Barrier, Mana Shield, Fire Ward, Frost Ward, Power Word: Shield, Shadow Ward and Sacrifice, with the remaining amount and the seconds left.
• Works in combat: your own shields are recognized when you cast them, the amount left comes from the game's total absorb.
• A Power Word: Shield from a priest is recognized, also in combat.
• Mana Shield is counted down from the mana you lose.
• Smooth arcs, also at lowered opacity.
• Settings window (/aa), demo (/aa test), /aa status and /aa debug.
