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.

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

Posted Oct 14, 2016Hi, about "Data text shows just one item at a time, and can also be displayed by any LDB display addon, such as Titan Panel, ChocolateBar, or ElvUI."
I'm using ElvUI and would like to set up a panel for Raid DPS, but it isn't on the DataText list, there's just "Skada" for options etc. Am I missing something?

Posted Oct 23, 2016Were you the same level? I'm going to guess your friend was / is a lot lower than you.
It is due to level scaling and has to do with the way each of you interprets the data of the fight so that together, despite your level differences, you can both fight the same mobs without your friend being either 1 shot or doing no damage at all, while essentially seeing the same thing.
example.
You are lvl 110.
You Chaos Bolt a Giant that is lvl 110 and has 2M hp.
You see a 1M point Chaos Bolt that damages the Giant for 50% of it's health.
Your friend is lvl 102
Due to level scaling, for them the Giant is lvl 102 with only 1M hp.
They see your Chaos Bolt damage the Giant for 50% of it's health, which for them is only 500k.
Obviously it is going to be a lot more complicated behind the scenes but this is roughly what would be happening.

Posted Oct 12, 2016There is a problem with sub roges , the akari soul artifact trait is being counted like a seperate user while it belongs to sub rog ... sub rogues who use skada can see akali soul in their total damage BUT all the others see akari soul as seperate player , this leads to 15-35k dps loss in boss fights to the skada of other players while in fact its just false of skada

Posted Oct 9, 2016Buff uptime % is incorrect. It is only tracking the first time a buff is present, it will continue to count it if the buff is reapplied before falling off but once it falls off it will stop counting it.
Version: 1.5-11

Posted Oct 7, 2016When playing my Holy priest, my numbers frequently disappear from my healing meters, and the healing meters of my other guildies with Skada, but not my guildies with Recount. At first I thought it was because I have a weird alt code letter o in my name but after reading other comments I think it might be a Holy Priest only issue.
Please fix this next update if possible, and thanks for the amazing addon, I've been a loyal user for years and this is the first major issue I have had.

Posted Oct 10, 2016Exact same problem. Holy priest healing is not being tracked correctly after certain events. I've had problems particularly with Eye of Il'gynoth and Xavius. Not sure if it's triggered by certain events like entering/exiting spirit of redemption, battle res, spirit release on death, etc.
Please take a close look at holy priest tracking ASAP. I was almost kicked from multiple PUGs due to skada failing to accurately display my contributions, despite solid throughput. As always, thanks for developing such a great addon. Skada > recount.

Posted Oct 19, 2016I've narrowed down a little more of what this is. It seems like Skada is bugging out and incorrectly tracking "Tranquil Light" and causing it to become a massive negative number, which pushes the Priest down to the bottom of the overall healing charts, well below DPS. Even causing Skada's bar to extend out across the screen outside of its box.
