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".
Midnight Edition (WoW 12.0+)
This version of Skada is updated for World of Warcraft: Midnight and uses Blizzard's new session-based combat systems.
Features
- Midnight Optimized: Uses Blizzard's internal session data for performance and accuracy.
- Combat Reliability: Handles modern combat data restrictions for a stable experience.
- Updated UI: Includes new presets with smooth animations, gradients, and textures.
- Dynamic Elements: Alternating row colors, highlight overlays, spark effects, and icon scaling.
- LDB Integration: Compatible with Data Broker displays such as Titan Panel, ChocolateBar, and ElvUI.
- Extensible Architecture: The API allows developers to create additional plugins.
Usage
Getting Started
A default window is created upon first load. Access the configuration menu by clicking the cog icon on the window title bar or via the minimap button. Select Configure to access settings.
Multiple Windows
Skada supports multiple windows. Create new ones under the Windows section of the configuration panel. Windows can be:
- Bar: The standard customizable meter.
- Inline: A horizontal line for custom UI setups.
- Data Text: For LDB displays and minimal setups.
Navigation
- Left-Click: View more detailed information.
- Right-Click: Return to the previous view.
- Mousewheel: Scroll through lists.
- Tooltips: Hover over bars to see additional context and shortcut keys (e.g., Shift-click for targets).
Themes
Manage window designs with the built-in Theme Engine. You can import and export themes by using theme strings.
Versions
- Midnight (Default): For WoW 12.0+ using the Native API.
- Classic Version: The version for older WoW releases.

Posted Jan 2, 2013Skada dosent detect it when players are on other platforms, like on Sha of Fear, it stops recording them completely when your not on the same platform with them, any fix for this?
It really ruins the addon for the fights effected because it dosent provide... accurate numbers.

Posted Jan 4, 2013There is no easy fix for that, your client simply doesn't "receive" any combat log entries from players on other platforms. Same applies to phasing realms, like at Gara'jal.
I remember the very first dps meters had a sync option to communicate data with other players. That would be a way to receive combat log entries from other realms.

Posted Jan 14, 2013Yeah, having the option to sync with other raid members once you leave combat would be great.

Posted Feb 12, 2013This is due to distance. Your game client does not receive any data from those faraway players. The same thing occurs on a few other gimmick encounters across the WoW expansions, but they are few, which is why I have not made a workaround. A workaround would be sharing of data. Recount has this, but disabled by default I believe (due to the cost).
An acceptable (performance-wise) solution would be sharing of end results instead - normal processing during combat, but some sort of after-combat comparision and update of results.

Posted Dec 24, 2012I'm a paladin in TW server , I found my damage done by the lv90 talent skill
" Light's Hammer"only be counted in my own skada , but didn't show in other raid members' skada.
Is that only happened to me? Or that's a bug already fixed/ plan to be fixed?
Thanks for reading.

Posted Dec 21, 2012Great addon, but it's been broken with Glyphs and Talents for way too long. I'm using something else :(

Posted Dec 19, 2012Hi! I'm sorry to bother you, but it appears that the Elemental Force enhancement's proc doesn't seem to be tracked by Skada's damage meter.

Posted Dec 15, 2012This taint seems to be rampant since 5.1 and can usually be traced to popup windows. As a quick workaround (until the problem gets adressed properly) configure Skada to automatically reset (or not reset) if you join a group or enter an instance. At least for me that did the trick, no more taint so I can change talents or glyphs again.

Posted Dec 13, 2012This has been happening to me also for some time now. Really annoying cause you have to disable addon to change the glyph then log off and re-enable the addon.
Thanks for posting the problem!

Posted Dec 10, 2012Skada damage keeps automatically switching to Total Damage, rather than Current Fight. Any way to stop this from happening? Driving me nuts lol!
