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, 2014Hello! I started to use your addon just a few days ago, and i like it much more then recount at least for one reason: fps. But in recount there is very convinient to analyze and compare overheal, couse i can see what spell overhealed and amount of ticks. In skada i can see overheal of specific spell only in "healed" mode, and it's unconvinient, couse i can't see all picture in one list.

Posted Dec 22, 2014Hi, I have a problem using Elvui and Skada together: Each time I reload my ui, or log in my char, Skada removed to it's old place. I want to have it a little bigger - more wide - in the right chat window of elvui. I can do this, but after every reload or relog, it's resized. Is it possible to keep the size and place with elvui?

Posted Dec 13, 2014"Anyone else having the problem where the skada box moves itself? I'll put it in the bottom right corner, change toons, and it's on top of the mini map. I'll move it on that toon to the bottom right corner, change back to the original toon i was on and it's back on top of the mini map... Yes, I've "locked" the window when I place it and no there is no one specific character it does it on, it does it on all of them. Started doing this in 6.0 and have been waiting to see if there's a fix since then. Please help! :[ " quote from chymaira . I am having this same issue please help!

Posted Dec 5, 2014Is there a way to count "Primal Tenacity" and "Tooth and Claw" absorbs from guardian druids? Warcraftlogs site does that and since all site and skada do is parse combat log i guess there should be a way to account for these abilities in skada also.

Posted Dec 2, 2014I turned off "Save only Boss Segements" and now it saves everything. I wish I could get it to save only boss segments again.

Posted Nov 29, 2014Developer or developers her "skada" and simply a masterpiece, and I come again with another idea to leave your finest addon. Any chance of putting a toggle option on and off for each window to keep your perssonagem at the top and the rest of the list as soon continue down normally 1> 2> 3> ...
Thank you !!!!!

Posted Nov 27, 2014Hi, is there any way Skada would also include absorbed damage on npc?
Neither of the following absorbs are being recorded on <Healing> Training Dummy in Garrison, while they are recorded with recount:
Power Word: Shield,
Divine Aegis,
Spirit Shell,
Clarity of Will.

Posted Nov 26, 2014Hi'd love to see a role icon instead of the class icon, what do you think about it ? Could it be something you'll add in the future ?

Posted Nov 24, 2014Hi there, love the damage meter, and have used it for quite a while. As others have noted below however, with 6.0 it has stopped saving boss segments. This is due to a change in GUID format, where it's now a plaintext string, not a hex string. I made the below change to my local copy, and it's saving boss segments again:
This is not the only change necessary for recognizing WoD bosses however; most of the IDs in LibBossIDs for WoD Dungeon bosses are incorrect, as were some MoP encounters. I'll have a final list of those ready in a couple days, and post it both to the LibBossIDs project page, and here if you'd like it.
Enterprising readers could update their own files by using this script:
/script print(UnitGUID("target"):sub(-16, -12))in a macro while targetting a boss, then edit Skada/lib/LibBossIDs-1.0/LibBossIDs-1.0.lua to include "[#####] = true," somwhere between line 31 and the '}' at the end, where ##### is the number that macro gave you.

Posted Nov 23, 2014Been having an issue lately where Skada will not keep boss segments and only shows current fights. Once I go to the next fight the previous numbers are lost in the nether.

Posted Nov 22, 2014For some reason, Skada will "disappear" when I zone into a WoD dungeon. /skada toggle does nothing, but /skada toggle a 2nd time shows it. It also does not save any boss damage (clicking on the Segment Icon only shows Total and Current options)
not sure what the issue is? Any non-WoD zone shows and keeps fine. Not sure how to maybe reset skada without deleting my whole WTF folder which I don't want to do?
