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 Dec 22, 2016I keep getting LUA errors when i swap between specs, then it continues to give errors when i enter combat. The only way to clear it is to /reload and then its fine again. Here's an example error:

Posted Dec 25, 2016This is likely caused by LibDualSpec, which I have not used in quite a while. Try disabling it and try again.

Posted Dec 18, 2016Skada isn't tracking the damage from "Soul Rip", which is dealt by the Subtlety rogue artifact trait "Akaari's Soul".

Posted Dec 17, 2016I just updated to ElvUI latest version and that was fine but then I added the skins. Skada is still there, because I see the query about whether I want to reset when I join a group but I can't find the window at all now. I've tried every setting, everything else, but nothing at all will bring it back so I can see it. Anyone have any idea what to do?
Thanks in advance.

Posted Dec 15, 2016Same bug as raffyboy. My skada is factoring in Akaari's Soul, however everyone else that uses skada, Akaari's is not showing included in the total dps. Basically I am showing a lower dps than other players. Any idea on when there may be a fix for this? Thanks

Posted Dec 12, 2016Hi, found a bug playing Sub Rogue.
After a fight, Akaari's Soul is not included in the total dps for other players in that fight, except for me. So I always have a different dps than other counters.
Hope you fix it, thanks for the amazing meter.

Posted Dec 8, 2016I have updated Skada but for the past few days it has not worked. I have no idea what is causing it to not function but its not even showing up on my screen like it was last weekend.
So it might be something conflicting with whatever Bliz might have done this past week with their hot fixes and rolling restarts. Not sure how else to describe this, but for now I can't get it to show up on my screen and even in the middle of the raid tonight, it never showed up either.
Hope you can get it fixed.

Posted Nov 29, 2016There are more modules written for Skada than for any other damage meter (Recount, Numeration, Details, etc).
Also, generally speaking Skada is more lightweight on CPU and memory than Recount. I think Details and Numeration are lighter still, but haven't tested.
