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".

Posted Oct 31, 2016Is there a way to see the "Incoming DPS" to each party member? As a healer I was wondering that maybe it would be useful to be able to see who is receiving the most damage in the last seconds, to see if a player could be left with a small HoT or if it needs a more aggressive healing.
I'm still trying to figure out if it make sense strategically speaking thought.

Posted Oct 31, 2016Does Skada provide a API for querying raid damage? I'm thinking of creating an addon to estimate fight duration, as I can't seem to find one and this is proving to be crucial for SPriests this expansion. If not, is there any chance this can be integrated into Skada?

Posted Oct 27, 2016They need to go into the config and check "Merge pets" under the "General Options" tab. Then all pet damage will be merged with the owner.

Posted Oct 31, 2016Merge pet is enabled, but I see both Hati under the hunters damage data, AND as a separate entity. And the data for the separate Hati and the Hati merged data on the hunter are not the same numbers.

It would be very helpful if you supply combat log of this, along with rough pointers on when it happens.

Posted Oct 14, 2016Hi, about "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."
I'm using ElvUI and would like to set up a panel for Raid DPS, but it isn't on the DataText list, there's just "Skada" for options etc. Am I missing something?

Posted Oct 23, 2016Were you the same level? I'm going to guess your friend was / is a lot lower than you.
It is due to level scaling and has to do with the way each of you interprets the data of the fight so that together, despite your level differences, you can both fight the same mobs without your friend being either 1 shot or doing no damage at all, while essentially seeing the same thing.
example.
You are lvl 110.
You Chaos Bolt a Giant that is lvl 110 and has 2M hp.
You see a 1M point Chaos Bolt that damages the Giant for 50% of it's health.
Your friend is lvl 102
Due to level scaling, for them the Giant is lvl 102 with only 1M hp.
They see your Chaos Bolt damage the Giant for 50% of it's health, which for them is only 500k.
Obviously it is going to be a lot more complicated behind the scenes but this is roughly what would be happening.
