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
Skada supports multiple windows. Create new ones under the Windows section of the configuration panel. Windows can be:
- Bar: The standard customizable meter.
- Inline: A horizontal line for custom UI setups.
- Data Text: For LDB displays and minimal setups.
Navigation
- Left-Click: View more detailed information.
- Right-Click: Return to the previous view.
- Mousewheel: Scroll through lists.
- Tooltips: Hover over bars to see additional context and shortcut keys (e.g., Shift-click for targets).
Themes
Manage window designs with the built-in Theme Engine. You can import and export themes by using theme strings.
Versions
- Midnight (Default): For WoW 12.0+ using the Native API.
- Classic Version: The version for older WoW releases.
Support
If you find Skada helpful, consider supporting its development through GitHub Sponsors.

Posted Jan 1, 2010I have done a great deal of testing and have found that Recount's DPS numbers are sometimes off by more than 1k. If you don't trust what I'm saying, you can test it yourself. Grab a mod like Combat Timer that will show you how long a fight lasts. Reset Recount. Go find a mob, write down its total health. Kill it. Divide its total health by the number of seconds you took to kill it as shown by Combat Timer. That will be a rough estimate of your dps (it will actually be lower than real dps, since it's highly unlikely that you did exactly as much damage as the mob had health, but it's close enough for our test.) Now compare your number with Recount...I guarantee you that Recount's number will be lower than yours, which is already going to be lower than your real DPS since we're not counting "overkill" damage. Or if you want an even faster test, clear Recount and then go kill a critter. The "combat" will last one second, so your DPS should be equal to how much damage you did in that one hit. However, Recount's number will not show you something even close to that. For example, I cleared Recount and then my 80 ret pally hit a roach for 2100. That's a one second combat, which means my DPS should show as 2100. Recount said my DPS was 1080. In short, Recount seriously sucks for keeping track of real DPS values.

Posted Dec 23, 2009I'm not sure whether this is a known bug, but I'm having an alignment issue. I don't have the Title Bar enabled, which results in the Bars being raised a bit over the top of the Background instead of Bars matching precisely with the Background. Also when I have both the Title Bar and Background enabled they seem to overlap. PM me if you need more details/screenshots. Keep up the good work!

Posted Dec 20, 2009Ive been using an add-on called Add-on Control Panel(http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/acp.aspx) which allows me to control add-ons withing the game and i couldn't help but notice Skada is listed as multiple pieces not one main add-on with plugins. IS there any way to get it nested?
EG
Skada
--Absorbs
--Crowd Control
--Damage
--ETC
--ETC
instead of
Skada
Skada [Absorbs]
Skada [Crowd Control]
Skada [Damage]
etc
etc
this will help in situations where i may want to disable skada fully with one click instead of many, also keeps the interface tidy.
Thanks!

bump, please fix it

Posted Dec 18, 2009Hi Zarnivoop, sweet addon, longtime user.
Recently, I have been asked to heal as Disc on certain encounters, and since I like to look at performance metrics (heh), I was puzzled by the low amount of mana regen from Rapture.
As an example, in the Absorbs, I had 350k, but only 12k in mana returned from Rapture. That stuck me as very low.
I thought I would throw it out in the forums just in case its a bug, but I will also go and so some controlled testing and report further. Perhaps I am nubbing it up and not using the shield spam correctly.
Keep up the great work!!!
