Skada Damage Meter
Skada Damage Meter
Skada is a modular damage meter for World of Warcraft with various viewing modes, segmented fights, and customizable windows. It is designed for efficiency with minimal memory and CPU impact.
"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".
Midnight Edition (WoW 12.0+)
This version of Skada is updated for World of Warcraft: Midnight and uses Blizzard's new session-based combat systems.
Features
- Midnight Optimized: Uses Blizzard's internal session data for performance and accuracy.
- Combat Reliability: Handles modern combat data restrictions for a stable experience.
- Updated UI: Includes new presets with smooth animations, gradients, and textures.
- Dynamic Elements: Alternating row colors, highlight overlays, spark effects, and icon scaling.
- LDB Integration: Compatible with Data Broker displays such as Titan Panel, ChocolateBar, and ElvUI.
- Extensible Architecture: The API allows developers to create additional plugins.
Usage
Getting Started
A default window is created upon first load. Access the configuration menu by clicking the cog icon on the window title bar or via the minimap button. Select Configure to access settings.
Multiple Windows

Navigation
- Left-Click: View more detailed information.
- Right-Click: Return to the previous view.

Posted May 2, 2014Is there a plug-in for PVP (well PVE as well I guess) that can show you amount of time spent out of control of your character. (also known as being CC'd). Stunned, polymorphed, feared, silenced etc.

Posted May 16, 2014I'm looking for an addon that displays the amount of time you have been in CC, not amount of CC you have received. (1 second fear x10 is equal to 8 second fear x10 on the cc tracker).

Posted May 15, 2014There is currently no direct keybind for reporting, but you can place a /skada report command in a macro and hotkey that.
See /skada for full usage information on /skada report

Posted Apr 15, 2014I am really wondering about one thing, if you put a "Enemy damage taken" then choose a certain boss in a fight to see how much damage people have done to it, then you want to see the spell detail of what people actually used into that one boss/mob, is that possible? cause to mee when I mousehover the tooltip is not showing.
I kinda wanted to see what people most powerful spells used on garrosh, and garrosh only. not the adds/minions, etc.
Please someone help me on this one, thanks.

Posted Apr 10, 2014hi :)
would it be possible for another addon to fetch skada-entries? the reason im asking is, because it would be very helpful for LFR-groups to sort the DPS/Healers on Spoils of Pandaria... is it possible with the api?
something like, getSkadaDamage_1 or something similar
greetings :)

Posted Mar 31, 2014Hi,
Loving the AddOn, but is there a way to implement the realm the player is from (like *cough* ReCount does) ?
IE: Player-Azuremyst instead of just Player.
Or am i missing a setting somewhere ??
TIA

Posted Mar 9, 2014coming from recount, i am really liking skada. one thing i can't seem to figure out is the personal DPS display in the broker portion of the addon - i can't seem to see a correlation between the main interface (and any part of the menus) with what the broker displays as its DPS #.

Posted Mar 27, 2014I actually prefer it this way, so you don't have to arbitrarily tally up the damage of each of your dots manually.

Posted Mar 8, 2014This just lumps Shadow priests mastery procs in with the dot ticks so you can't see how much your mastery is doing like with recount.
Is there anyway you could add this ?
I hate really recount as it is a bloated asshole of a addon.

Posted Mar 3, 2014Thanks for this great addon, i love that you can easily analyze so much more than with recount. But one function i really really miss is the hotkeys for switching modes within the addon window. You could add a hotkey for every mode so you could switch to any mode instantly. I'm curious will hotkeys (besides the reset/new segment etc) ever be in Skada? Because I think this is the only additional function this addon could really use :3

Posted May 11, 2014well from some reports Skada is more accurate in a whole , but recount will have more special options imbedded instead of modules , i prefer Skada for the UI and less " in your face " screens then recount ( ofc that skada is more accurate in meters is a big plus :p )

Posted Feb 18, 2014I have the same problem.
I have two Skada embeded in my ElvUI, one with total and one with current dps.
They then to reset back to total or current a lot, after fights and right inbetween and what not.
I do have the mode switching to default.

Posted Feb 14, 2014I've noticed that for some reason the segments keep getting set to "total" instead of staying where I put it (usually current fight). Is there any way to fix this?

Posted May 15, 2014Addon version 1.4-16 includes some fixes to window behavior when sets are deleted (eg due to an explicit reset, auto-reset, manual set deletion, etc), so that might fix your problem.
Also, check your "Mode switching" options under the configuration for your window.

Posted May 18, 2014If you mean the active set changes during a reload/relog, that bug is now fixed in r541.
