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
Skada supports multiple windows. Create new ones under the Windows section of the configuration panel. Windows can be:
- Bar: The standard customizable meter.
- Inline: A horizontal line for custom UI setups.
- Data Text: For LDB displays and minimal setups.
Navigation
- Left-Click: View more detailed information.
- Right-Click: Return to the previous view.
- Mousewheel: Scroll through lists.
- Tooltips: Hover over bars to see additional context and shortcut keys (e.g., Shift-click for targets).
Themes
Manage window designs with the built-in Theme Engine. You can import and export themes by using theme strings.
Versions
- Midnight (Default): For WoW 12.0+ using the Native API.
- Classic Version: The version for older WoW releases.

Posted Dec 17, 2016I just updated to ElvUI latest version and that was fine but then I added the skins. Skada is still there, because I see the query about whether I want to reset when I join a group but I can't find the window at all now. I've tried every setting, everything else, but nothing at all will bring it back so I can see it. Anyone have any idea what to do?
Thanks in advance.

Posted Dec 15, 2016Same bug as raffyboy. My skada is factoring in Akaari's Soul, however everyone else that uses skada, Akaari's is not showing included in the total dps. Basically I am showing a lower dps than other players. Any idea on when there may be a fix for this? Thanks

Posted Dec 12, 2016Hi, found a bug playing Sub Rogue.
After a fight, Akaari's Soul is not included in the total dps for other players in that fight, except for me. So I always have a different dps than other counters.
Hope you fix it, thanks for the amazing meter.

Posted Dec 8, 2016I have updated Skada but for the past few days it has not worked. I have no idea what is causing it to not function but its not even showing up on my screen like it was last weekend.
So it might be something conflicting with whatever Bliz might have done this past week with their hot fixes and rolling restarts. Not sure how else to describe this, but for now I can't get it to show up on my screen and even in the middle of the raid tonight, it never showed up either.
Hope you can get it fixed.

Posted Nov 29, 2016There are more modules written for Skada than for any other damage meter (Recount, Numeration, Details, etc).
Also, generally speaking Skada is more lightweight on CPU and memory than Recount. I think Details and Numeration are lighter still, but haven't tested.

Posted Nov 13, 2016I still haven't been able to make this work on any of my computers since Legion. I even have a new laptop with a fresh install of everything as of two weeks ago, and it doesn't work there either. https://s22.postimg.org/aex9322ox/skadabroken.jpg I just get solid bars, with random classes (that may or may not even be in the group), and no numbers. The menus all change the labels, no errors pop up, it just doesn't measure anything, and even a complete UI reset (+reinstall skada) doesn't seem to fix it. I can't think of anything more to try...

Posted Nov 14, 2016I am having the exact same issue and have been since Legion went live. Makes this almost useless if there is someone else with the same class as myself. I can't even look to see what spells did what damage.

Posted Nov 9, 2016Hi
A trinket whose ID is 137462, with Intelligence and forwarding extra blood suck to DPS. The trinket is from jail.
The special effect is caused by the healers. Mean when to use it and whom to be used at is decided by the healer who has this trinket.
So I am wondering that if the extra healing caused by this trinket is supposed to counted it the healers HPS? Or others' won't use this trinket anymore since this is not 'visible', though it is actually a significant trinket for healers.

Posted Nov 8, 2016Seems when running with two Ret Paladins, Blessing of Might is bugged. Sometimes it gives all might damage from all buffs to one Ret Paladin, and no dmg to the original buffer. Double checked this with warcraft logs. upwords of 50k errors in skada logs.
