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.

Posted Mar 6, 2012I'm not sure if I had miss it, but if I didn't it would be nice to have an option supressing the question if I would like to Reset Skada, when I enter a new Dungeon or group for example. My poit is to have the option to make the reset automatic without any need of confirmation.
Skada really rules.
Thanks for the addon.

Posted Feb 28, 2012Is it possible to make Skada show in combat and hide out of combat? Changed from recount to skada since recount wouldnt do it. Hopefully this can but i cant seem to get it to do that :(

Posted Feb 13, 2012I am currently having problems with it not merging my pets stats with my own. Weather the box is or isn't checked.
edit: i have disabled all my addons excluding skada and its still showing me and my pet as two sources of damage on the meter. With and without the 'merge pets' option.
edit 2: i use curse client to install my addons and i have skada 'perfered release type set to alpha' if that helps any.

Posted Jan 29, 2012Frst time user of Skada. Trying it in a LFR and after Spine wanted to see the Ultraxion DPS when came upon this error. Am guessing its due to players leaving and new ones joining.

Posted Jan 25, 2012Thank you!
you can change under the following content?
Menus.lua
target = { "Whisper Target", "whisper"},->target = { L["Whisper Target"], "whisper"},
whisperbox:SetLabel("Whisper Target")-> whisperbox:SetLabel(L["Whisper Target"])
Add language file
L["Whisper Target"] = "密è¯ç›®æ ‡"

Sorry about that, looks like I missed the case of saved healing spells. Try r378.

Are you still seeing this? I thought my commit 3 days ago would have fixed it.

Posted Jan 15, 2012Hi, is it possible, that i can change the option, so that i see in "dps at the moment" to see only the max DPS. That means i can change it so that i see only the highest DPS. My problem is i can't an won't see every timme to skada. Only after the fight i see to skada, but as firemage my dps is falling and get lower and i see no time, whats my highest dps. Ok i can show "dps for all" but thats not what i want. I need to see my highest dps at every fight.
Thanks
