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 May 23, 2013Same here. This is beyond irritating. It stays as current fight on my main but anytime I switch toons or relog other toons it goes back to total damage segment. Who even cares about total damage?

Posted May 4, 2013There is one feature I would like to see and I hope it´s not hard to implement.
When you click a menu to view some info, and then go back, Skada does not keep the vertical scroll position it had before and goes to the very top. Then, you have to scroll down again and search the next one, which can be somewhat cumbersome when you have a lot of info plugins and want to check a few of them.
Thanks for this great addon, I haven´t had any problems with it yet.

Posted May 1, 2013It'd be nice when having an open window that tracks "Enemy Damage Taken" to automatically select the first target you hit as the watched one, if you are not already watching a specific unit.

Posted Apr 29, 2013Some time in the last week my skada has suddenly started defaulting to TOTAL instead of current fight. I have changed NO settings at all.
This is very annoying as I am raid leader and keep whining at people for crap dps, only to then be told/realise that I am looking at TOTAL and not CURRENT FIGHT. :P
Does anyone know how to change this please? I have tried everything and googled for over an hour.
Please help,
hardtofin :)

Posted Apr 25, 2013Problem I've been having is when I am on my Priest I cannot keep it on healing. For every new mob or boss encounter I have to go back and change it from damage to show healing again.

Posted Apr 17, 2013Hello great addon, prefer it over Recount any time!
The CC breaker has stopped working for me also.
Also it is now unable to go to previous segments in any list(dps heals etc), it can only do total or current :(
I have 2 skada windows up one for healing one for damage, this has seemed to be why as I can select specific boss segment it has saved when its in *one* piece.
Hope for a fix soon!

Posted Apr 14, 2013Announcing CC Breaks no longer seems to work. I updated the addon to the latest version and it will not register the CC breaks in the meters or announce them to my party.

Posted Apr 13, 2013Hi, I have been having "stutter" type lag while having the healing module turned on. Any time I use any sort of a heal while in combat such as a HoT, I start having the stutter problem. Is there any way I can fix this without having to disable the addon?

Posted Apr 13, 2013Would be nice, if the Addon would track the buff "Tempus Repit" from the Legendary Meta Gem "Sinster Primal Diamond". Thanks in advance, keep up the good work : )

Posted Apr 10, 2013Why am i forced to manually toggle Skada when joining a group? I recently tested out some different meters(TinyDPS, ALDamageMeter), found them lacking and went back to Skada. Figured i would re-do my setup, and I can't for the life off me get it to simply show up when joining a group.

Posted Apr 9, 2013I have an issue where the addon won't work or read DPS if I just log into WOW. I always need to do a UI /RL to get it to read correctly. I am not getting any error message from the addon it just doesn't seem to read for some reason. ???? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really like Skada over Recount!!

This should be fixed. I never notice these things because I do not use the "Only save boss segments" option.

Posted Apr 11, 2013+1 to this. I was just about to say that myself.
I think we can all agree that 100,000 is a lot easier on the eyes than 100000.
