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.

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.

- Bar: The standard customizable meter.

Posted May 6, 2020Yeah I only just realised this recently for Hunters its far from accurate, used Skada for as long as I can remember, never had any issues's but recently had to switch to Details because of this issue, still have Skada installed and still believe its is the best most efficient meter but on My Hunter main it simply is useless.

Posted Apr 6, 2020Is there a way to hide empty fights?
For example I like to look at some fights while questing and often pull mobs just for a second and no fighting happens. Happens on my druid all the time in flight form.

Posted Feb 4, 2020Skada appears to choke on the Hunter Talent "Animal Companion." Even with "Merge Pets" selected, Skada lists a least some of the damage the Animal Companion pet does separately. The problem is exacerbated by Skada listing it in a continually growing list of the same pet on different lines.

Posted Aug 29, 2019OK, I've tried using Skada Damage Meter during combat in Classic and I can't figure out how to get it to display actual damage, aka dps. All I can seem to get it to display is something about GTFO Alerts. I ran though all of the Options I could find and nothing seemed to work. I realize this addon isn't claiming here on Curse that it works in Classic, but it has been reported elsewhere (Icy Veins) that it does.
EDIT: Finally found out that the "Skada" mentioned on Icy Veins for Classic was actually Skada_Classic which is not available on Curse/Twitch evidently. It is available on WoW Interface Addons: https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info25146-SkadaClassic.html

Posted Aug 28, 2019Using Skada version 1.7.6 in Classic. Everything seems to work OK so far without entering combat yet. While setting up Skada, I somehow managed to open a version window. I don't know what I did, and I can't seem to make it come up again. However, the window that opened gave the current version of Skada as "1.6.7" instead of "1.7.6."

Posted Jun 8, 2019Has this project been abandoned...? Because it has not been updated since August 2018 & I see lots of people have posted comments here & nothing has been addressed... If you have not Abandoned this project then maybe you could update this Add-on in time for BFA 8.2 & address the problems people have been experiencing. Thank you Curse for your Great work so far.

Posted May 29, 2019I know it hasn't been updated in a year (also posting on wowace as per the description) but figured I'd post here cause I know some people do unofficial updates:
The Brewmaster talent "Guard" is being counted as overhealing, instead of healing. Like, entirely. I don't even think it's possible to overheal with that talent, at that, as it causes the monk to absorb the damage they would stagger instead, so it's not even a true absorb shield.
I tested it on training dummies in Boralus and in dungeons. No matter what I did, it would always show up in overhealing, not in healing, despite the fact I was clearly absorbing the damage.

Posted May 28, 2019Can you make a version of this that works with Classic WoW? And hopefully one will be made for https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/rakas-skada-chat-frame-integrator too.

Posted May 28, 2019Hey, how do I parent one window to the other, I don't want to align it manually, I want to make the healing window to be exactly aligned next to the damage window.
