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, 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.

Skada is very easy to extend, and there are many "plug-in" addons out there that add functionality, such as:

Skada Graphs: Adds graph display systems to Skada
SkadaScroll: Provides additional options for scrolling the bar displays
Skada Avoidance and Mitigation: Helps tanks benchmark their damage reduction performance via avoidance and mitigation
Skada for Tanks: Adds information useful for evaluating a tank's performance
SkadaEnsidiaFails: Display fails based on EnsidiaFails in Skada
Skada_FriendlyFire: Display friendly fire damage done by players
Skada Ability Tracker: Display abilities used and cooldown efficiency

There is a page with API information here.

Usage:

Navigation in Skada is done by "drilling down" to the information you want. You go to a lower level, showing more detailed information, by clicking on it, and you go to a higher level by right-clicking.

The top level is the list of all saved fight segments. The second level is the list of all available data modes, such as Damage Done. The third level is one of these modes. Most modes let you drill down for further details. 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.

You can also use window buttons for selecting fight segment and mode directly.

Scrolling in Skada is done with the mousewheel.

New Skada windows can be created from the configuration screen. Each window can be separately configured. A popular feature is "Mode switching", which lets Skada automatically switch to a specific mode on entering combat.

There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada. All suggestions and bug reports are very welcome.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

There is one feature I would like to see and I hope it´s not hard to implement.

When you click a menu to view some info, and then go back, Skada does not keep the vertical scroll position it had before and goes to the very top. Then, you have to scroll down again and search the next one, which can be somewhat cumbersome when you have a lot of info plugins and want to check a few of them.

Thanks for this great addon, I haven´t had any problems with it yet.

Why am i forced to manually toggle Skada when joining a group? I recently tested out some different meters(TinyDPS, ALDamageMeter), found them lacking and went back to Skada. Figured i would re-do my setup, and I can't for the life off me get it to simply show up when joining a group.

@Gimplekin: Go

This should be fixed. I never notice these things because I do not use the "Only save boss segments" option.

i've also seen that it will not store any boss data from ToT. you can see each boss as it's currently happening, or until you start combat with something else, but it won't keep the boss fights for later examination

In 5.2 I'm having a problem where none of the Throne of Thunder bosses will be recognized by Skada, and the fight segments saved. In 5.0 I had a similar problem with most bosses in Heart of Fear similarly not being saved, but that was solved by correcting the BossIDs library.

I've checked the boss ids for the first 3 encounters in ToT, and those are all correct as far as I can tell. Is there anything else Skada checks to determine whether to save a fight? I have double checked and the libBossID in Skada is the only one I have installed.

Is there way to set it to where it keep the total window instead of changing to a per encounter window?

Hey, could you Add opacity feature like Raven addon. (was my suggestion) this option you can find under General via "bar groups" tab after you create a bar group

I.E.

Opacity "in Combat" "out of combat" "mouseover" "fade effects" Slider~~=|==========|=======|====~~-=====|===

Spirit Shell seems really buggy. I was spamming Greater Heal on a tank with Gushing Wound on the tank and Spirit Shell on myself, and it wasn't showing up on Skada as healing done at all.
