Track Shield

A stacked progress-bar display for Classic Era / Hardcore showing every absorb shield currently active on you — Power Word: Shield, Mana Shield, Fire Ward, Frost Ward, and anything else that works like one — each with an icon, a school-colored bar, and its current/max absorb value.

What it does

• A bar appears the moment a shield lands on you, and disappears the moment it's consumed or expires.
• Multiple shields stack simultaneously (e.g. a priest's Power Word: Shield plus your own Mana Shield and Frost Ward all up at once each get their own row), so you can see at a glance how much total damage you can eat before you start taking real hits.
• Bar color reflects the shield's damage school (fire, frost, shadow, holy, etc.), fully customizable per school.
• Each bar's icon has a countdown swipe/timer showing time left before the shield expires.
• Two display styles: horizontal Bars, or a Segmented bottom-up meter with configurable segment spacing (down to fully touching plates). Size and text scale are adjustable for either style.
• A "Toggle test shields" button in the options panel spawns a few fake shields so you can preview style/size/color changes without needing to actually be shielded in-game.

Usage

Open Escape → Interface → AddOns → Track Shield for the options panel:

• Toggle test shields — preview a few fake shields to check style/size/color changes.
• Lock position — stop the display from being dragged.
• Bars / Segmented (vertical) — pick a display style; the two size sliders below relabel themselves to whatever applies to the selected style.
• Text size — font scale for both styles.
• Reset position / Reset appearance — separately reset placement vs. style/size/color settings back to defaults.
• Shield colors — a swatch per damage school; click one to open the color picker.

Or use slash commands (/trackshield or the shorter /tshield):

/trackshield lock       -- lock the display in place
/trackshield unlock      -- unlock it so it can be dragged
/trackshield reset        -- reset position to default
/trackshield style        -- cycle between Bars and Segmented
/trackshield test          -- toggle the fake preview shields
/trackshield debug          -- toggle chat debug output for SPELL_ABSORBED parsing
