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".

Posted Oct 1, 2016I am holy priest and suddenly at one point in the fight Skada does not count my healing anymore till I am completely getting deleted in the "Healing done" section. It still shows my name in the Dispels-Section or in the Death Cap it shows I healed them, but I am just erased from the "Healing Done" chart.
Anyone has the same problem?
Happens for example at Xavius Heroic, need to observe further.
(Skada v1.5-11)

Posted Oct 2, 2016Yea I'm having the same issue in EN. Whenever I leave the healing done (to check damage taken or dispels) my holy priest data just vanishes.

Posted Oct 14, 2016The healing looks like it's showing as a negative. Scroll all the way down the heals and you see it as a reverse bar that spans the bottom of the window.

Posted Oct 3, 2016Got the exact same problem on my holy priest on Xavius. It is so frustrating. I had no problems on the other boss fights in EM. So I guess its a Xavius and Holy priest combination bug?? Hope they will fix this soon...

Posted Oct 4, 2016If I play on my dps all day, skada works great. Once I switch to my restro druid and mess around, skada will stop working at some point. Only way to fix is to create a new profile and copy over from an untouched template (another profile) of when it worked. It seems it does something to the saved profile and renders it unusable.

Posted Oct 7, 2016Im having the same issue for my holy priest. It seems to happen pretty randomly. The dps meters work perfect but when im in holy I will frequently disappear from mine and my guildies skada meters. I thought it might be caused by the fact the my player name has a weird alt code o in it but mabye its just the holy priest thing. Please fix!

Posted Sep 29, 2016Hi,
Any chance "Enemy Damage Done" could contain more information? As in, click on the enemies to see what abilities did most damage for them (PvP purposes)? Well, the dream would be an option to include the enemies next to allies in the Damage Done tab. A PvP friendly mode so to say.
Additionally, could you add an option to switch to "Current Fight" in combat and back to "Total" outside of combat? Would be lovely. This type of thing can be included in the "Mode Switching" menu you already have.
Thank you!

Posted Sep 29, 2016I was just wondering if I have somehow disabled something to make it not show total damage properly?
This is what I would like mine to look like : https://i.gyazo.com/66986339c6d4bfd69f16595ab94a2961.png
And this is how mine looks : https://i.gyazo.com/0a724d95aa9b907c4591e1c17e4bb08b.png
I think what I'm asking is for the damage numbers to be rounded properly. When I get into the millions, it's never shortened. (Like the 4.43M in your pic)
Sorry if this doesn't make sense, and thanks :)

Posted Sep 29, 2016Skada isn't correctly displaing subtlety rogue damage because it records all of Akaari's Soul damage (talent from the artifact weapon) as a separate person instead of belonging to the sub rogue's damage.

Posted Sep 28, 2016Im not sure why this is happening. But on my healing charts (ive only seen it on the healing chart), it is duplicating some of the ranks and using them out of order.

As you can see in the screenshot, it is counting 1,3,2,3,4 instead of 1,2,3,4,5

Posted Sep 27, 2016Any option or setting to lock Skada on "total" damage, its switching between current fight and "total" damage. Suggestions?

Posted Sep 26, 2016Is it possible to keybind skada windows separately? Right now it toggles both my healing and dps windows, and I'd like to be able to hide just the healing one when it's not needed.
I tried having both windows up and closing the healing one only. That way I could toggle the windows easily with my broker button to bring the healing one back up as needed, but Configure>Close did not do what I thought it would. Am I missing the close button somewhere or can I only toggle all windows together.
Swapping profiles all the time is a bit tedious.

Posted Sep 25, 2016Skada (nor recount) is correctly keeping track of a certain trinket proc.
The trinket in question is Portable Manacracker http://www.wowhead.com/item=137398/portable-manacracker
Below you will find a pretty self-explanatory picture showcasing the problem. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the mod or actual game it self.

Posted Sep 23, 2016Hi,
in Skada if I use "Damage: Current Fight" and hover over players, it shows their top abilities.
however
if I use DPS: Current Fight, it doesn't.
Is there a way to show abilities for DPS: Current Fight?

Posted Sep 23, 2016Could you maybe add an option in Skada to disable any auto-showing?
It seems to ignore the current ones...
I selected "hide, if solo" and "only boss fights"
Each time i am joining a group - skada opens
Each time i am leaving Dalaran with a flight master - skada opens (even when i am not in a group!
Thats annoying! Fix it please. I only need this Addon in a Dungeon or Raid.

Posted Sep 24, 2016I'm having the same issue.
Oftentimes without even joining a group it pops up and I have to open the options window and UN-check then RE-check the "hide if solo" option to get it to hide again.

Posted Sep 29, 2016Try UNselecting "Hide in PVP" option, it seems it is responsible for random appearences when changing a zone. At least for my warlock it no longer shows up every time when I leave my Order Hall.

Posted Oct 5, 2016I'm currently tracking down all the places where this happens, some of which are only when other "hide" options are selected too.
For example, when combat ends with the "hide in combat" option. Change Skada.lua:1443 or thereabouts from
if not win.db.hidden and self.db.profile.hidecombat then
to
if not win.db.hidden and self.db.profile.hidecombat and (not self.db.profile.hidesolo or IsInGroup()) then
Also, when pet battles end. Add
if not Skada.db.profile.hidesolo or IsInGroup() then
...
end
around Skada.lua:1097–1101 or thereabouts.
I posted about this a few years ago but it's apparently not very high priority, so we might have to keep fixing it manually after every update.
