Skada Damage Meter
Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes, segmented fights and customizable windows. It aims to be highly efficient with memory and CPU.
"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".
Usage
When you first start using Skada, there will be a window created by default. This window can be extensively customized in Skada's configuration panel; click the little cog icon to access a menu, and then click Configure. Depending on your user interface, there may also be a minimap button allowing quick access to this menu.
Skada supports multiple windows. To create a new window, click Windows in the addon's configuration panel. There are three built-in types of windows - Bar, Inline, and Data text. Bar is the classic damage meter window, and is very customizable. Inline shows the meter in a horizontal line, which can be useful for integration in custom user interfaces. 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.
In the normal Bar window, you can left click on specific items for more detailed information, and right click for less details. At the very "top" is the list of all saved fight segments. Some data modes have several detailed information views. In this case you choose alternate views by holding certain keys pressed while clicking. For example, in Damage mode, you can Shift-click a player to see what enemies the player caused damage to. Tooltips will display how to reach the different views.
You can also use window buttons for selecting fight segment and mode directly.
Scrolling in Skada is done with the mousewheel.

Hi,
I miss clicked and pressed "dismiss" when the tooltip of new features for 1.6.5 popped.
I would like to know what they changed, or maybe restore that tooltip in-game. How is it possible?
Thanks!

option to show spec icons please, waiting too long for this ;(
Why does the skada window pop up after i take a fp from dalaran (to anywhere). It even pops up on certain WQ zones when i'm solo, despite of me having enabled "Hide when solo"
Keeps re-showing even with option ticked to hide when solo :/
Is there an option for disabling the update reminders? :/
Are they really that annoying? It's just one right-click to dismiss. Anyway, the idea is to only notify on major things that are deemed noteworthy but probably get overlooked by the vast majority, since Skada as a rule doesn't change defaults or impose itself too much.
Yes, they really are that annoying. A config option to opt-out/in would be appreciated.
Is there any plans to have an option for Skada record data in live time? say 0.1 refresh rate?
There is an option called "Update frequency" that does this. There is also an option called "Smooth bars" for animating the bar changes gradually instead of immediately.
Please return to the simple method, it worked. Install and that was it. Majority of people like that. It's over complicated now :(
Version 1.6.5 does not work for me.
What do you mean exactly?
I really like Skada, but it seems I cannot see my damaged mobs.
It´s says "Shiftclick to see "Char names" damaged mob(s) but the list is empty?!?
Setting or?
Do not download update 1.6.4, it is fucked up and doesn't work. If you've done so, reinstall 1.6.3 over it
This is not true. If you have a specific problem with it, do let me know.
It is true 1.6.4 does not work, currently have 20 people in raid with skada 1.6.4 not a single person had it work on that version all had to downgrade to 1.6.3
Any clues on what the problem is for you? An error log or anything? It works perfectly fine for me.
Love this addon. Thanks for all your work. Any chance you can add an "External Healing Required Per Second" category? This would track healing taken minus overhealing and minus self-healing/absorbs divided by time in seconds.
I am using elvui & the DH icon still does not appear for me. Is this a skada issue? elvui? addonskins?
