I had the same question and did the research and turns out skada is less of a resource hog - all other factors are equal according to this article and a few others

http://wow.joystiq.com/2013/03/12/addon-spotlight-skada-versus-recount/

what is the difference between Recound and Skada? why pick Skada over Recount or why pick Recount over Skada?

Would love the following fixes to Skada:

Menus not timing out as quickly as they do. When you try and select a option to list it gives you only like 2 seconds or so. That should be increased to 7 or something more managable for larger lists. Otherwise you have to open, and quickly select the option. Or the menu goes away.

While not in combat and trying to look at Skada. If anyone new joins the party/raid .. Skada closes. If Skada notices the player not in combat. This should not close. As I figure it is only doing this to add them. Though if no one is in combat no need to close any menus.

Skada is no longer tracking damage done to targets for me

I'm searching for where to set the default segment in the options, but cannot find anything.  For the first few months I have used Skada, it worked fine, showing the current fight as default, however in the past few weeks it now shows total every time I switch toons/relog/reload.  I've tried reinstalling but got the same results.  It seems like it could be a problem with some other addon switching the default (I don't know if that's possible), but I feel like there must be an option to set the default segment that I'm missing somewhere.  If anyone has any info it'd be much appreciated!

Same here.  This is beyond irritating.  It stays as current fight on my main but anytime I switch toons or relog other toons it goes back to total damage segment.  Who even cares about total 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.

i just downloaded can someone tell me how to put in cause i dont know <3 thnx

It'd be nice when having an open window that tracks "Enemy Damage Taken" to automatically select the first target you hit as the watched one, if you are not already watching a specific unit.

im getting the same problem

Some time in the last week my skada has suddenly started defaulting to TOTAL instead of current fight.  I have changed NO settings at all.

This is very annoying as I am raid leader and keep whining at people for crap dps, only to then be told/realise that I am looking at TOTAL and not CURRENT FIGHT. :P

Does anyone know how to change this please?  I have tried everything and googled for over an hour.

Please help,

Problem I've been having is when I am on my Priest I cannot keep it on healing. For every new mob or boss encounter I have to go back and change it from damage to show healing again.

Tempus Repit (the sinister meta gem proc) isn't showing in the buff uptimes listing. Is there a way to manually add it?

segments aren't working for me

Hello great addon, prefer it over Recount any time!

The CC breaker has stopped working for me also.

Also it is now unable to go to previous segments in any list(dps heals etc), it can only do total or current :(

I have 2 skada windows up one for healing one for damage, this has seemed to be why as I can select specific boss segment it has saved when its in *one* piece.

Hope for a fix soon! 

For some reason, the CC announcer and Threat warning does not work.

Announcing CC Breaks no longer seems to work. I updated the addon to the latest version and it will not register the CC breaks in the meters or announce them to my party.

Hi, I have been having "stutter" type lag while having the healing module turned on.  Any time I use any sort of a heal while in combat such as a HoT, I start having the stutter problem.  Is there any way I can fix this without having to disable the addon?

Would be nice, if the Addon would track the buff "Tempus Repit" from the Legendary Meta Gem "Sinster Primal Diamond". Thanks in advance, keep up the good work : )
