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.

For now use comments.
Hey there,
Slight issue with the latest version, although I'm not sure what that issue is. No LUA message to tell of a problem, but I have noticed that sometimes (typically in PuGs on Argus) that the add-on fails to calculate the damage of everyone in the group
Not sure why this is happening, or what triggers it (as it's not every PuG) but I have noticed that in some groups that it fails to record on some people. No issue with the user - my damage is always recorded without problem - but even in smaller PuG I've seen people clearly doing damage but nothing showing
Hi there.
Love this addon and have used it for YEARS! Suddenly this morning, ALL of my skada modules are listed as DISABLED in red text, on all of my characters. Has something happened in a recent build or is it a conflict with other addons?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!
I have now removed every single addon and just run skada on its own. I still have this problem :(
Probably you accidentally triggered a shortcut to disable them. You can check your settings and enable them again
There's small issue in Russian localization, damage module is called "Yрон" instead of proper "Урон", notice latin "Y" instead of cyrillic "У"
Then mode is confused, all mixed up. I wrote author he didn't answer.
Something like that hell.

I confirm the problem http://jpegshare.net/images/a1/a8/a1a8c7a4e96c77c7150e9bf3503eca11.jpg
So i'm currently experiencing some weird problem with LUI+Skada in which whenever i Join a raid group my Skada instantly hides itself though LUI still has the module as being turned on. I have to click to turn off DPS, and then turn it back on to make the skada window appear. I've looked through the settings and cant find anything that should be causing it. Anyone having similar problems or know how to solve it?
In some videos the names in the raid interface do not match the names in Skada.
What is this mod?
Example:
https://www.wowprogress.com/video/164863-kil-jaeden-mythic-memento-warrior-dd-pov
That would be Details, not Skada :)
I dont get the damage from Kil'Jaedens Buning Wish to show up in Skada. It does show in Recount however (running both addons at the same time for testing). Tho it doesn't always no-show, but most of the times...
Anyone else got this issue?
How does the blizzard services whisper work? Whenever I try to whisper someone on my list a skada chart, it just says "Skada: Error: Whisper target not found". I've tried their bnet tag, their tag without the # behind it, their real name, etc, but it still refuses to locate the target
This is most likely because the author STILL hasn't added the ability to recognize what realm a person is playing from, it is still a MAJOR problem compared to anything else. I am thinking your whisper target is because they are from a different realm, and frankly Skada is TOO STUPID TO KNOW THAT.
I often would like to look someone up to see their build when I play with them and they are doing great. The only way you can do this is WHILE YOU ARE STILL IN THE GROUP, start typing "/w name" and the name of that person will come up with the realm after their name. IF YOU LEFT THE GROUP ALREADY YOU CAN'T DO IT. So again, Skada is very stupid this way.
Recount doesn't do this. You roll your mouse on a name and it shows the proper Name-Realm like it's supposed to.
The interrupt module hasn't worked for me for years - anyone know why? I've started using Details because its interrupt counter works for me.
and i get this

This is because you have the external Friendly Fire addon installed.
The last update (two hours ago as of this post) now produces the following Lua error:

Seeing this as well
Actually, I can't even update my version. I get the error below (using twitch):
