Skada Damage Meter - WoW AddOns

Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes, segmented fights and customizable windows. It aims to be highly efficient with memory and CPU.

Usage

When you first start using Skada, there will be a window created by default. This window can be extensively customized in Skada's configuration panel; click the little cog icon to access a menu, and then click Configure. Depending on your user interface, there may also be a minimap button allowing quick access to this menu.

Skada supports multiple windows. To create a new window, click Windows in the addon's configuration panel. There are three built-in types of windows - Bar, Inline, and Data text. Bar is the classic damage meter window, and is very customizable. Inline shows the meter in a horizontal line, which can be useful for integration in custom user interfaces. Data text shows just one item at a time, and can also be displayed by any LDB display addon, such as Titan Panel, ChocolateBar, or ElvUI.

In the normal Bar window, you can left click on specific items for more detailed information, and right click for less details. At the very "top" is the list of all saved fight segments. Some data modes have several detailed information 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.

Plugins

It would be very helpful if you supply combat log of this, along with rough pointers on when it happens.

When playing my Holy priest, my numbers frequently disappear from my healing meters, and the healing meters of my other guildies with Skada, but not my guildies with Recount. At first I thought it was because I have a weird alt code letter o in my name but after reading other comments I think it might be a Holy Priest only issue.

Please fix this next update if possible, and thanks for the amazing addon, I've been a loyal user for years and this is the first major issue I have had.

For now you can use my modified Damage.lua to record it for yourself (doesn't record for other players yet)

Are the new neck enchants like Hidden Satyr not showing up in the meters because blizzard made those not show who's procing the effect on Combat Log?

Love to see smite for disc priests count as healing. As of right now, skada correctly counts it for atonement healing but smite also places an absorb debuf on the boss which prevents 100% of smite's damage from even going out.

Thanks. Yeah, I set the border thickness to zero (the small inner border seems to be made by Skinner, which is how I liked the border), and the "bar font size" seemed to increase from 12 to 13 for some reason after the update, which was weird, but seems to be fixed.

Is that tiny inner border made by another addon? If so, just disable Skada's own border in the window settings. Set border thickness to zero.
