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 Jun 22, 2009Sorry for another post, i forgot about the deaths view: is there any chance to add a second mode that does simply count the deaths and doesn't show the last few deaths in order? Also totems count seem to fill up my deaths-view …
Also it would be great to be able to see statistics for all data, boss data, defeated bosses data, trash data instead of just be able to see everything or only bosses. i do know trash is essentialy worthless but still it is interesting …

Posted Jun 22, 2009I am a happy user of Skada Damage Meter. Thanks for the great addon. I'd love to see EnsidiaFails-Integration, as their ulduar-fails are much more elaborated than Failbot, any chance on that one?

Posted Jun 19, 2009"Time in combat is the time between the first and the last attack."
Does this mean MY first and MY last attack? That would be ok. But I'm under the impression that it means somebodys (=the tanks) first and last attacks.
I usually get flagged for combat when the tank pulls. I start dps-ing several seconds later. I still might be looting while part of the group is fighting already ...
In skada my dps is about cut in half or less ... I can't compare it with anything. This makes this great addon nearly useless. What a pity.

Posted Jun 13, 2009Question: I have Skada normally minimized to a data broker (Fortress). However, the window keeps popping up every time I zone in and out of anywhere, or enter any instance. Is there any way to disable the popping up automatically?

Posted Jun 12, 2009I was in a group last night with one other person. When the other person started, the meter would not pick him up until I started. Even with me standing next to him, he never get on the meter if I did not cast. We were using the test dummy.
