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.

Posted Mar 22, 2017Hey mate, any chance we can clic a player´s name and open a whisper window?.. sometimes while in LFR if the player leaves, and his realm name is complicated or I simply forgot it, the chance to have a talk with him is lost.
Ty a lot for such an amazing addon

Posted Mar 7, 2017Can you please fix the fact that BM Hunters have Hati displayed separate to their DPS? It is incredibly frustrating being constantly kicked from pugs for being 'lowest dps' when you are in the top 5, because Hati has decided to show everyone he is an individual who deserves to strip you of 80-140k dps on the meters. So your 500k turns into 420k-360k instead and you look like trash, so of course the group gets rid of you.
When you pug, people don't care to look into it, or consider that Hati is separated. No one bothers to scroll down. They kick you and get on with it. It's incredibly frustrating and disheartening to be kicked all the time because of something that isn't your fault.
EDIT: to clarify, even when you have 'merge pet damage' active, Hati is still shown separate. Have tried to troubleshoot with guild members using this addon, and have even seen other BMs on my skada showing the same issue.

Posted Mar 3, 2017The reason I don't care for this is that it does not show me the realm of any given player in the damage list. I often want to look at another character in my class on the armory that did better than me and see how they are built so I can try to improve.
But SKADA ONLY GIVES YOU THE NAME AND NOT THE REALM of the player, making it very hard to look them up.
I would have thought that at the LEAST it would show the full name-realm when I run a report, but NOPE it doesn't.
Every other addon that I know of that would indicate a player name works correctly with name-realm except this one.
Recount does not do that. It gives you the full name-realm as it should.

Posted Feb 26, 2017Hello Zarnivoop
Since all the Links are not working to give you a suggestion i post it here.
Could you maybe consider adding a Option to position the Skada Windows with X and Y Sliders ?
This would really help very picky Players (like me^^) to align the Window perfectly.
Thx for considering and keep up the good Work.

Posted Feb 19, 2017Just updated Skada in I dunno how long and now it's doing something really weird... It used to be that the 'Skada: Modes' list was always in a set order, and sometimes, I would have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list to look at some arbitrary metric that I needed at the time. Since I've updated, the 'Skada: Modes' list is no longer a static order, it keeps shifting.
As far as I can determine, it's been set up so that whichever module is clicked the most is moved to the top and the others get shifted down. While this is probably nice for some people, I really would like to find a way to set it back to a static list. Partly because when I click through the menus, my default is to hit the 2nd option twice for Current Fight and DPS, but now, I get a random metric, since DPS has moved to the top. Also, when I want to go find that arbitrary metric that I use maybe once a month, I have to look through the entire list to figure out where it is instead of relying on the memory of where it is.
TL;DR: How can I revert my 'Skada: Modes' to a static order that doesn't change based on use history.

Posted Feb 15, 2017Got a problem.. Is there anyway to merge the damage from Lava Burst and Lava Burst overload in the spell list? so it doesn't show Lava Burst and the overload lava burst separately? same with lightning bolt and elemental blast? i noticed that it merges the damage from Flame shock direct damage and the DoT damage into one spell, and know it was like that in the past, so is there an option to turn that on again? thanks

I wonder it would be possible to show damage taken but only within a certain time frame (say last 10 seconds)?

Posted Feb 4, 2017I've been getting a lot of disparity between my skada meter and other's skada meters in my guild while we're raiding. We checked and we're all up to date, but mine seem to show lower numbers than theirs. Is there a setting in the configuration I might have changed to cause this? A bug? Then numbers in raids and dungeons seem to be wonky as well and it never used to have that different feel to it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Posted Feb 5, 2017I've been seeing the same thing. My Skada meters are almost always different from my guild members in both Mythics and raids. There isn't anything consistent with it either. For some party/raid members, my numbers are lower than others skada meters, while at the same time others are higher. It's not consistently lower or higher across the board.
