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 Jul 2, 2015Hi, is it possible to add an option to show pet damage along with the option that skada already has (merge pets with users) so we can actually know how much dmg a pet is doing and how much an owner merged is doing.. (recount has this option , but I'd rather like skada way much because of all other options)
Thanks

Posted Jun 28, 2015I am wondering how Skada handles Unstable Felshadow Emulsion healing? Does it add the leech healing to the trinkets owner log?

Posted Jul 23, 2015I don't think the leech goes towards hps unfortunately- it appears like a flat spirit trinket. It'd be great if the leech would go towards the healer's hps since in some cases this trinket is best in slot.

Posted Jun 25, 2015Currently Skada does not display damage done by the Mirror of the blademaster trinket to other Skada users, it's only visable for yourself. It does still show up on warcraft logs however.

Posted Jun 23, 2015hope you know that soul capacitor trinket from hfc counts double damage. it count absorbed part which is wrong. so damage in skada from every agility dps player with this trinket is highly inflated.

Posted May 15, 2015Hello, I was wondering if you could maybe add an option to change the color of the title? Like for example on elv UI the color of the General and Combat tab is blue, Maybe you can change the color of the title bar for skada to maybe some colors? If its not too much trouble. Thanks :)

Posted Apr 6, 2015Almost perfect but falls short in pvp even though (i think) the fuctionality is there or I'm retarded (good possibility).
Friendly healing shows the spell breakdowns in percents, averages, etc but doesn't show the 'count' while enemy healing does.
Friendly damage shows which spells they did their damage with, how much, and how many. Enemy damage done just shows... who did damage to who.
There isn't a differentiation between offense dispels and cleanses. Trying to weed out someone in an RBG proves to be hard when I see our MW getting a free 150 dispells, a resto druid getting 30 from cleanses, a DK getting 60 from icy touch, etc. The ability tracker could use another layer in its tree as well.
Is this something I can figure out on my own? I mean, I can find the answers to all those questions by bouncing back and forth between 6 different charts, it's jsut a matter of collecting it under the same category.
edit: And I would be SO happy if I could seperate segments by entire (and seperate) battle gounds matches and arenas.

Posted Apr 4, 2015I have used Recount for many years and never had any problems with it.
However i would like to give Skada a try - but i do not know does it have any advantages over Recount?
Any special features or capabilities that Skada has (compared to Recount)?

Posted Apr 1, 2015Is there a chance to add another number format to allow for damage/healing/dps to be detailed (full number) with comma separation?
