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 Apr 3, 2017Ch3vr0n complained about it too on this page. Skada window pops up when hidden taking an FP from dalaran, or when taking the portal from dalaran to SW. Despite the options saying it should be hidden.

Posted Mar 29, 2017After the patch and even after the update I'm finding that skada keeps stretching out horizontally on my ui. even if I have it locked or unlocked, I fix it, and after some time it goes back all stretched out. Is there a way to fix it? Since everytime I relog, reload, reload ui, it stretches skada out. I dont want to switch damage meters, but it's a little troublesome when it stretches out mid fight and I cant see my spells :(

Posted Mar 29, 2017Try enabling 'Load out of date addons' on your addon screen to get Skada to load.
Skada is working fine for me.

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.

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.
