Description

Dyre's Shields Up shows your remaining shield as a crescent beside your character, for any class. It is the shield display from Mage Tools Forever, on its own.

Shield display

  • Fills when a shield lands and drains as it absorbs, with the amount below, also in combat. Drops away the moment the shield is used up.
  • Power Word: Shield in white, Ice Barrier blue, the wards in fire and frost, Warlock shields in purple, and any other absorb in gold.
  • Several shields at once? The crescent shows the total, and a row of icons shows which are up: your own class's shields, then Power Word: Shield and Blessing of Protection.
  • Mana Shield and Paladin bubbles drain with their time left in their own inner crescents.
  • Size 50-150%, an optional number, and an optional sound when a shield ends.

With Mage Tools Forever or Warlock Tools Forever

They ship the same display. Installed together, you still see one ring, and Shields Up Forever tells you which AddOn draws it.

Commands

  • /dsu or /dsu options opens the settings (Options > AddOns).
  • /dsu unlock, /dsu lock, and /dsu reset move the display.
  • /shieldsup works the same, in case another AddOn uses /suf.

Compatibility

Beta, for the Forever beta client 1.60.1. If a client update removes an API it needs, it says so in chat and the display stays off.

WowUp users (2.24.0 or later): install from the repository URL; GitHub releases carry the Forever metadata WowUp needs.
