I added the ability to specify it by group and member index.  It's only available as an alpha release though.  That change requires re-testing everything fairly well.  I also need to test if the bars adjust properly or reasonably as people leave/join the group or when players are swapped.  I believe the worst case scenario is that it doesn't update until that person has their buffs/debuffs change.

I updated the minimap/LDB tooltip to show the unit that each bar is tracking.  It will help if you need to check the name of the player it is currently watching.

I was only able to test it in a party but I believe it should work properly in a raid.

Here is the latest alpha:

I also added the new autocomplete functionality to the Unit Name field.  It should autocomplete names as you type based on friends, guild members, group members, etc.  It's in the alpha.  I'll probably push a new release soon.

The bar should move to show the time left on the shield if you only select one shield under "Absorbs Tracked". 

I'm guessing you are tracking multiple absorbs.  Currently it does not update the progress bar for that.  It isn't intuitive to me what the time remaining indicates when you track multiples.  If you are using a newer version that has the "All" or "All but Selected", those options use a new Blizzard function to get the total absorbs on someone and that doesn't provide any timing information.

If you setup a bar and just tell it to track a single shield like "Power Word: Shield" then the bar should move and show you the time left on the shield.  If it doesn't do that then something is wrong.

I'm working on the multiple shield issue though.  I may need to provide options and it increases CPU processing.  The question is what does the time remaining mean then?  Should it be the shortest/soonest shield to expire?  The longest duration?  The duration of the largest shield?

I added Soul Leech.  It should work on you or your pet.

I do need to add some screenshots.  I need to find the time to do that and perhaps provide more details on using it.

I added Twilight Ward and Fury Ward.  You can test them in this alpha.  I'll push a new release in the next day so it is available here too.

I think it is a bug when you have Time Remaining set but you select multiple absorbs. If you only select one absorb to track then you get the countdown. If you select multiple, it's hard to present a meaningful timer. I think the problem is that it doesn't hide the timer when you select multiple absorbs. I'll fix that issue.

I'm not sure how to present a timer on multiple absorbs that is useful.

@zowlz

I can verify it is working correctly but the addon is meant to show the current shield/absorb value on a target. It only shows a bar/value when there is an actual shield. Sacred Duty only provides the shield periodically so the addon only shows Sacred Duty when it provides value.

What other method would you prefer for tracking shields on someone? I'm limited by the game's APIs. There are a few other options I have not setup though. You can refer to party 1-5 and raid 1-40 but they can change and I don't think that would be useful in any way.

Here are some options I have not added that might be useful though:

• Your target's target
• Your focus' target

In general, given a specific unit / player, you can also select their pet or target.

While the game does allow raid assistants to set main tank and main assist, you can give the roles to any number of people so that setting might be confusing. If your raid has two main tanks setup (i.e., a common practice) then the addon will not know which one you want to track. This also applies to the new roles that every player can set for himself/herself.

If you let me know what other option you think is useful, I can see if there is a reasonable way to do it.
