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.

Hi, about "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."
I'm using ElvUI and would like to set up a panel for Raid DPS, but it isn't on the DataText list, there's just "Skada" for options etc. Am I missing something?
I was running a dungeon with a friend of mine, I was showing on my skada 4.40mill at 53.6k dps and my friend is showing me at 9.24mill at 112k dps and we were not standing that far apart . why would this be? we both have version 1.5-11
Are you or your friend by any chance a warlock?
Were you the same level? I'm going to guess your friend was / is a lot lower than you.
It is due to level scaling and has to do with the way each of you interprets the data of the fight so that together, despite your level differences, you can both fight the same mobs without your friend being either 1 shot or doing no damage at all, while essentially seeing the same thing.
example.
You are lvl 110.
You Chaos Bolt a Giant that is lvl 110 and has 2M hp.
You see a 1M point Chaos Bolt that damages the Giant for 50% of it's health.
Your friend is lvl 102
Due to level scaling, for them the Giant is lvl 102 with only 1M hp.
They see your Chaos Bolt damage the Giant for 50% of it's health, which for them is only 500k.
Obviously it is going to be a lot more complicated behind the scenes but this is roughly what would be happening.
I have a question can we change the font size of Skada? I wanna make the font bigger.
There is a problem with sub roges , the akari soul artifact trait is being counted like a seperate user while it belongs to sub rog ... sub rogues who use skada can see akali soul in their total damage BUT all the others see akari soul as seperate player , this leads to 15-35k dps loss in boss fights to the skada of other players while in fact its just false of skada
Fix akari soul artifact trait on subtlety rogues please , Subs see akari soul as their dmg but all the other players see akari soul as different player in skada meter , as a result subs lose 15-25k dps to the eyes of other ppl while its not true
Buff uptime % is incorrect. It is only tracking the first time a buff is present, it will continue to count it if the buff is reapplied before falling off but once it falls off it will stop counting it.
Version: 1.5-11
Fixed by my own, just replace at line 24 (modules/Debuffs.lua):

Does your skada show "ÅÄÖ" ?
Bug: Hide when Solo constantly gets ignored, forcing you to deset and reset it to hide the meters
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.
Exact same problem. Holy priest healing is not being tracked correctly after certain events. I've had problems particularly with Eye of Il'gynoth and Xavius. Not sure if it's triggered by certain events like entering/exiting spirit of redemption, battle res, spirit release on death, etc.
Please take a close look at holy priest tracking ASAP. I was almost kicked from multiple PUGs due to skada failing to accurately display my contributions, despite solid throughput. As always, thanks for developing such a great addon. Skada > recount.
I've narrowed down a little more of what this is. It seems like Skada is bugging out and incorrectly tracking "Tranquil Light" and causing it to become a massive negative number, which pushes the Priest down to the bottom of the overall healing charts, well below DPS. Even causing Skada's bar to extend out across the screen outside of its box.

I have noticed the same issue on Xavius as Holy Priest. I'm using Skada that was updated today. Change log:

Tagging as 1.5-12, attempt #2
If any of you guys could supply me with a combat log and preferably a hint on when the problem appears, that would be very helpful.

My potion of old war isnt showing on my skada. anyone know how to fix?
version 1.5-11
I am holy priest and suddenly at one point in the fight Skada does not count my healing anymore till I am completely getting deleted in the "Healing done" section. It still shows my name in the Dispels-Section or in the Death Cap it shows I healed them, but I am just erased from the "Healing Done" chart.
Anyone has the same problem?
Happens for example at Xavius Heroic, need to observe further.
(Skada v1.5-11)
Yea I'm having the same issue in EN. Whenever I leave the healing done (to check damage taken or dispels) my holy priest data just vanishes.
