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 Sep 18, 2016Same thing here, not sure why it appears, but it does appear despite having "hide in solo" and "disable while hidden" turned on. Very annoying.

Posted Sep 29, 2016Try UNselecting "Hide in PVP" option, it seems it is responsible for random appearences when changing a zone. At least for my warlock it no longer shows up every time when I leave my Order Hall.
I have now the following configuration:
Hide when solo: checked
Hide in combat: unchecked
Hide in PVP: unchecked
Disable when hidden: unchecked

Posted Sep 15, 2016How does this mod interact with disc priests power word shield and the absorb applied by smite? do they both get counted as healing or is either of them left out?

Posted Sep 14, 2016Does not show up in any damage meter because the combat log does not mention the player who cast the proc, making the addons unable to track it. please report it (Mark of the Hidden Satyr)

Posted Sep 13, 2016I think I found a small bug: I'm unable to change the text color in the title bar. I choose the color from the color picker but it automatically resets to the default one (white). If I try to change the bar color from the color picker, it immediately show a preview of the color while for the text color it does not.
I tried disabling all my other addons, the problem persists.
