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 Jul 22, 2016Specific request for disc priest benchmarking (especially now that their healing has dropped significantly when comparing to the other healing classes):
- Is it or would it be possible to track atonement uptime as a buff and on how many people? And if that's already possible, how to track it?
- Would it be possible to track power word barrier absorbs, as it (still?) isn't showing in healing done/absorbs?

Posted Jul 22, 2016It's working fine for me. Did you reset you're ui (delete your cache, wtf & interface folders) with the new patch?

Posted Jul 21, 2016I'd like to echo a previous comment about locks and soul effigy... it would be great if Skada did not register the damage actually done to the effigy. UNLESS this is already the case... in which case can we get confirmation of this? Thanks

Posted Jul 21, 2016Thank you for the update!
Please remember to update on WowInterface.com ! It's much more pleasant to use with Linux, and they have a way to notify users when addons are updated. (curse doesn't work with linux unless I add Yet Another Program to my 'work with the emulator' to-do-list, which is really a 'bug my partner who understands things to make it work' and that just doesn't work.)

Posted Jul 15, 2016I've used this addon for over month or so without problems, but just moment ago I could not set up my character into battleground (PVP). I got an error saying that Skada interrupts the UI. Disabling this addon and reloading ui allowed me to enter into battleground.

Posted Jul 10, 2016I wish skada had support for the option of spec icons as well as class icons. I would love to instantly see what spec someone is on the charts!

Posted Jul 2, 2016My skada window resets to the wrong position after /reload. I was able to find a breakpoint at 439 for the "x" value in the config file. As long as the actual window position is 439 or lower, it works. As soon as the value would get 440 or bigger, skada saves a wrong value to the file.
Then I made the file read-only and tried to set the position manually. ["x"] = 439 works fine. ["x"] = 440 sets the window several hundred pixels too far.
Similar behavior for the y-value.
I'am using a resolution of 3840x2160 with an uiscale of 0.35555...(pixelperfect) if that matters somehow.

Posted Jun 17, 2016Would be possible to make an option to make your own bar always visible? For example I'm low in dps and given the window size my bar wouldn't be visible, with this option the bottomest bar would be replaced with the one representing me with the usual number showing my actual ranking.

Posted Jun 12, 2016Hi on skada when you set border for skada window bar overlap on those borders is there way to keep bar inside the window rather then overlapping to make it look clean
For example you can see what i mean

As you can see top 2 bars are overlapping on white border on left and right so it got me wondering is there way to keep those bars inside window borders

Posted May 31, 2016I just realized Affliction Lock damage is counting all damage done to Soul Effigy into the total. Is there a way to make it ignore the damage being done to effigy?

Posted Apr 18, 2016Can someone help me with a silly little issue I keep having. Certain characters of mine have a problem where the position of their Skada keeps resetting after I change it when I switch characters. Skada is not set to read only anywhere that I can tell, but I also don't know all of the places where settings are saved.
