"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

Posted Apr 2, 2013Is it possible to let the User configure the Number format to a specific element?
Take me for the example, I want Detailed DPS/HPS and condensed Amounts of Damage done/Healing done.

Posted Apr 1, 2013i've also seen that it will not store any boss data from ToT. you can see each boss as it's currently happening, or until you start combat with something else, but it won't keep the boss fights for later examination

Posted Apr 1, 2013I would like the opposite, is there anyway to do so? In the new version the dps is shown as K DPS format, how do I change it back? It's stupid to see healing without rounded, and damage with rounded numbers.

Thank you

Posted Mar 26, 2013I am having the same issues with Skada where it does not record ToT bosses. Unfortunately I will have to use Recount until Skada is up to date /sad face.

Posted Mar 18, 2013Is this still causing the game to practically lock up when Stampede is used? I hate having to use recount, which is what I'm forced to do, currently

Posted Mar 16, 2013In 5.2 I'm having a problem where none of the Throne of Thunder bosses will be recognized by Skada, and the fight segments saved. In 5.0 I had a similar problem with most bosses in Heart of Fear similarly not being saved, but that was solved by correcting the BossIDs library.
I've checked the boss ids for the first 3 encounters in ToT, and those are all correct as far as I can tell. Is there anything else Skada checks to determine whether to save a fight? I have double checked and the libBossID in Skada is the only one I have installed.

Posted Mar 11, 2013I have "Hide when solo", "Hide in PvP", and "Disable when hidden" all checked. However, for some reason, the skada window pops up whenever I queue solo into a random bg. Hoping this can be fixed.

Posted Mar 7, 2013Storm, Earth and Fire clones are still being treated as individuals (with merge pet checked and unchecked) would you please update to track them as pets of the owner, I know it can be done because tinydps does it.
