Skada Damage Meter
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.
"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".
Note: I took a tiny break from WoW (a decade), but recently started playing SoD. Be aware that this addon may not quite work yet.
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
Skada is easy to extend, and there were once many extra plugin addons out there that add functionality. However, there are unlikely to be any maintained ones currently.
There is a page with API information here.

Posted Apr 10, 2013Why 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.

Posted Apr 9, 2013I have an issue where the addon won't work or read DPS if I just log into WOW. I always need to do a UI /RL to get it to read correctly. I am not getting any error message from the addon it just doesn't seem to read for some reason. ???? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really like Skada over Recount!!

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

Posted Apr 11, 2013+1 to this. I was just about to say that myself.
I think we can all agree that 100,000 is a lot easier on the eyes than 100000.

Posted Apr 2, 2013Is it possible to let the User configure the Number format to a specific element?
Take me for the example, I want Detailed DPS/HPS and condensed Amounts of Damage done/Healing done.

Posted Apr 1, 2013i'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

Posted Mar 31, 2013nice meter, been using it for a while now, but it doesn't keep ToT boss's. if that gets fixed it'll be worth using again.

Posted Apr 1, 2013I would like the opposite, is there anyway to do so? In the new version the dps is shown as K DPS format, how do I change it back? It's stupid to see healing without rounded, and damage with rounded numbers.

Posted Mar 31, 2013Ist possible to show rounded numbers instead of full number format, for example
instead of saying 100000 DPS
I would like the damage meter to show 100k DPS format
Thank you

Posted Mar 26, 2013I am having the same issues with Skada where it does not record ToT bosses. Unfortunately I will have to use Recount until Skada is up to date /sad face.

Posted Mar 18, 2013Is this still causing the game to practically lock up when Stampede is used? I hate having to use recount, which is what I'm forced to do, currently
