Posted Sep 11, 2016Would it be possible to add an option to rearrange the bars? So for example I could put: Damage, DPS, Healing Done and Damage Taken as the first 4 bars.

Posted Sep 9, 2016Can't seem to find an answer for this anywhere and its not listed in the configurations. But does Skada automatically include pet damage? If not how do you make it include?

Posted Sep 7, 2016Yea, I'm also waiting for a solution on this! Looking at Skada, recount and detals 3-4 times a day to see if there is any updates now :D I mean, I know I do more damage than is shown, but who cares unless everyone else know I'm doing it? :D

Posted Sep 8, 2016Yeah would like to know if this is something that is fixable :\ , i think blizzard coded the enchant a bit weird, it summons a invisible npc that casts the proc.

Posted Sep 4, 2016Skada has been showing a lot of inconsistent results between players in the same party.

Posted Sep 12, 2016If you're doing one of the Legion dungeons, and not everyone is the same level that is likely the cause. I'm not sure how the scaling works exactly, but I believe that all damage is scaled to your level before the server sends that data back to you.
So if you have 2 people in the same dungeon, but at different levels, they will report different results. However, the % of damage contribution SHOULD still be exactly the same.

Posted Sep 3, 2016All of a sudden today My skada is showing half the dps that is being done for myself and each member of my group in a dungeon. I closed wow. Updated. Still same result. I uninstalled it and redownloaded the addons etc and STILL same issue. Odd thing is my recount is ALSO only showing half the dps during current fights. My girlfriend and two buddies are all running skada and recount right next to me and all of theirs read the same which is double of what mine reads. Any ideas?

Posted Sep 3, 2016I was just testing on a training dummie and my dps after just attacking for like 5 sec starts at just over 100k and then skada immediately drops to about 50 then fluctuates around 50k just doing a couple of abilities. Its literally cutting dps display in half. Very odd

Posted Sep 10, 2016Having the same issues but only on certain characters. It shows about half damage for myself and anyone in my party on 3 of 5 characters. Is it possible there is an issue with the combat log and registering artifact weps for some specs/classes?

Posted Sep 3, 2016It's hard to say why there is no HPS mode (same as DPS with nicknames and current DPS without any total damage done and percentages) Add this tribe please

Posted Sep 2, 2016Can we get a damage mitigation section that tracks things like ignore pain, iron bark and other tank cooldowns. Would let you see how well the tank is using cds. An additional positive is warriors who Stan in fire and use ignore pain will not top healing meters.

Posted Aug 29, 2016Any way to change the font? and to increase font size. Options are very scarce in the config - googling it obviously talks about previous version because I don't see any settings for it.
