Overview

Blood Shield Tracker is an addon to track the value of the Death Knight Blood Shield. It shows bars for both the current Blood Shield value (when Blood Shield is up) and the estimated heal of a Death Strike based on damage taken in the last five seconds.

Blood Shield Bar

• Appears when Blood Shield is up and shows the maximum shield value.
• Updates the current strength of the Blood Shield. It provides both an absolute value and a percent of the remaining shield value.
• Disappears when the Blood Shield buff ends.

Estimated Heal Bar

• Predicts the size of a Death Strike heal based on the damage in the last five seconds. Because that calculation occurs on Blizzard's servers, there are timing issues and the amount could be wrong compared to the heal received.
• The bar will fill based on how close you are to getting the minimum Death Strike heal.
• The bar changes from red to green if you will get more than the minimum Death Strike heal (i.e., an optimal heal).

LDB / Minimap Data

The LDB or minimap icon provides a tooltip with some statistics for your Blood Shields. The following statistics are provided for the session and for the last fight:

• The total number of blood shields.
• The number of shields refreshed. This is the number that are re-applied before the previous shield was removed (i.e., stacking).
• The number of removed shields.
• The minimum, maximum, and average shields maximum/starting values. The maximum value is the full, initial value of the shield.
• The total amount absorbed by the shields, the total value of all shields, and percent of the shields used. This lets you see how much of the shields were used to absorb damage.

In addition, for the last fight it provides:

• The duration of the fight.
• The average number of seconds between Blood Shields (or successful Death Strikes).

Options

Blood Shield Tracker provides several configuration options. It also supports LibSharedMedia so fonts and textures loaded there can also be used. It also provides full support for profiles.

You can change the following:

• If the minimap button is shown. The addon also provides an LDB data feed.
• Whether each bar is shown.
• If either bar is locked and cannot be moved.
• The width, height, and scale of both bars
• The font, font size, and font options of the text on the bars
• Whether the background/bar is shown or just the text.
• The color of each bar and bar text, including setting the minimum and optimal heal colors.
• The texture to use for each bar.
• Whether either bar has a Blizzard-style border around it.
• The format of the text on either bar.
