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

- Bar: The standard customizable meter.

Navigation
- Left-Click: View more detailed information.
- Right-Click: Return to the previous view.

Posted Sep 15, 2013I'm having the same issue as the_only_viper, in SoO fights aren't saving, I only get options from current fight and total. Everything works normally in ToT, I get new segments for each boss.
Tried deleting and reinstalling and it didn't fix it. My friends say that theirs is working normally.

Posted Sep 12, 2013Hi,
Updated to latest release, but still fights don't get saved in SoO. Only can see current fight, and the saved fights are only from ToT.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks :)

Posted Aug 24, 2013Giving Skada a try, been a recount user for years.
Couple things which dont work well. Choosing the skada menu to choose item to display in bar window does not adjust, so the window on my screen is near the top and choosing the menu the list goes off the top of the screen so I cannot see most of the data items. I have to move the window to the bottom of the screen to choose another item to display (e.g. switching from DPS to damage)
Using a tooltip for spell damage details; This is so much better in recount in terms of presentation. In a separate window with breakdown of spells and percentages. The Skada Tooltip version is poor by comparison and not having in a separate window really makes it painful to use.
Otherwise, I like the display and the performance, just needs more graphs and detail window options. :)

Posted Aug 17, 2013Hello. I am trying to locate an addon that can perform a simple calculation that takes into account a player's Average ItemLevel before reporting Damage results on a meter. It can even be something as simple as Damage/Ave iLvl, and then Rank the results for reporting. In this manner a Raid Leader can actually identify how each person is performing, regardless of their gear.
Because we all know that players will get better as their gear gets better, so current meters that treat everyone as an equal by just reporting the numbers incurred are actually not very meaningful, as they are tracking results (which is gear-driven) rather than performance (which is knowledge & skill driven). I was wondering if Skada can currently do this, or if you have plans to incorporate a feature like this in the near future? Thank You :)

Posted Jul 30, 2013I can't find the mode switching option anymore. Has it been removed or am I blind? Edit: I've found it. Looked three times for it before I posted the comment. :D

Posted Jul 25, 2013One of the most important addons to raid successfully and to reconsider its own damage output, resulting damage, done healing and other useful information - at least for the raid leader. Kudos to the author!

Posted Jul 17, 2013If I have both the "Hide when solo" and "Disable while hidden" options checked, then Skada won't collect any data at all when in a dungeon finder or LFR group. But if the "Disable while hidden" box is unchecked, it works fine. Not sure if this only happens just with random queue groups, or with pre made groups also, I've only noticed it in random groups.

Posted Jul 3, 2013Any way to change the order of the Modes in the list? They are set alphabetically, but I'd prefer putting the ones I use the most above others which are more situational.

Posted Jun 28, 2013I have uninstalled and reinstalled this add on a few times now (also deleted in game settings) and yet everytime I enter a raid I have to reload my ui in order for skada to record/show anything at all. I can't imagine this is intended. Is there any sort of fix going in for this?

Posted Jun 23, 2013Is there any way you can make this addon so it can be turned into a chat tab? I know some people do this with a UI mod called ElvUI, but i don't want a whole UI mod.
This is what i'm talking about if you don't understand.
