Skada Damage Meter - WoW AddOns

Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes. It is inspired mainly by Assessment, but also by Recount.

Skada sports segmented fights and detailed views, while being highly efficient with memory. This is accomplished by aggregating data on fight segments.

Skada is entirely modular; the modes listed below are all separate addons. Only the modes you load adds to the memory and CPU cycles used.

Features:

Automatic mode switching when entering combat. For example, you can have Threat mode be shown in combat. Skada can switch back after combat ends.
Specific fight segments can be kept indefinately.
Multiple windows. Each window can be configured fully.
Threat mode can warn on high threat.
Modes: Damage done, DPS, Threat, Enemy damage done, Enemy damage taken, Healing, Overhealing, Total healing, Absorbs estimated, Damage taken, Dispels, Mana regen, Debuff uptimes, Failbot, and more.
Reports can be done everywhere. For example, you can report a certain player's Debuff uptimes.
Summary information for most modes (DPS, HPS, Fails, etc) in a LDB view/minimap button.
LDB data feed can show personal/raid DPS or personal threat.
Support for SharedMedia and Class Colors.

Usage:

At first a list of all the modes above are shown. Right-click to show the available fight segments. "Total" and "Current" should be there. After a fight a new segment will appear here. By left-clicking on a segment you choose what data will be shown in the modes. Left-click on "Current" to get back to the mode list. "Current" shows data for the active fight, or the last fight if you are out of combat.

Left-click on a mode, for example "Damage", to show that mode. Left-click again to show more detailed data. Not all modes have detailed data. Right-click to return back to your previous position.

Some modes have several detailed views. In this case you choose alternate views by holding certain keys pressed while clicking. For example, in Damage mode, you can SHIFT-click a player to see what enemies the player caused damage to. Tooltips will display how to reach the different views.

Click the top right button in the window, or SHIFT-right-click anywhere on the window, to open a menu. From here you can report data, reset data, and various other things. You can also report with /skada report.

You can configure Skada from "Configure" in the menu, or from the game's Interface->Addons->Skada window. You can create new Skada windows here and customize them. A popular feature is "Mode switching".

Data can be reset with /skada reset, from the menu, or by shift+left clicking the minimap/LDB button.

There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada. All suggestions and bug reports are very welcome. There is a page with API information here.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

Had a situation last night where the DPS bars in a 5-man kept showing the same damage after switching from threat mode. Almost like it froze data for a while. I had to reset Skada then it did ok. Any idea what that was?

Same issue as xxyz below - doesn't swap from threat to dmg.

A+HPS not displayed in absorbs and healing mode, could use a fix.

Fantastic Addon. Only thing I really wish it had is a set window size and scrollbars. Keep up the good work.

Hi Zarnivoop, sweet addon, longtime user.

Recently, I have been asked to heal as Disc on certain encounters, and since I like to look at performance metrics (heh), I was puzzled by the low amount of mana regen from Rapture.

As an example, in the Absorbs, I had 350k, but only 12k in mana returned from Rapture. That stuck me as very low.

I thought I would throw it out in the forums just in case its a bug, but I will also go and so some controlled testing and report further. Perhaps I am nubbing it up and not using the shield spam correctly.

Keep up the great work!!!

Fixed the Spark Problem.

Download this file and unrar it into your "Interface" folder. It is an UI-CastingBar-Spark replacement. Tested it and it works

Hey there, its a great addon! keep up the good work, unfortunately some bugs still occur in the latest release.

i can not reproduce it but every now and then skada's threat module shows everyone except me, the MT. its very annoying due to the fact that even a /reload does not solve it. i encountered this misbehavior in ulduar at first a few months ago and its still a "feature" in all actual encounters anub'arak or onyxia it doesn't matter, i even encounterd it in the scarlet event thingi ;)

second bug: the damage meter does not always automaticaly show up after fightend. the battle is over and approx. 10 seconds are needed to get dmg informations. or it completely refuses to switch to the dmg module and stays in threat.

third or second.5: sometimes the automatic switch between threat and another module after fight does not function.

the last one (maybe only a feature request): while pausing or rebuffing i trie to look up some things but, if someone enters the instance or disconnects/connects in the raid all context menus disappear. is there a possibility to fix this behavior?

regards

I have the same issue as Kelem, it conflicts with the hide as solo option, either one on their own works fine but with both skada comes up in pvp

autohide in pvp works fine for me, what puzzles me tho is that skada consistently reports around 200-500dps less than recount, the percentages are the same but the dps is always lower why is this ? i don;t wanna go back to that memory hog which recount is. also that would mean installing omen again and no mode switching D:
