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.

- LDB Integration: Compatible with Data Broker displays such as Titan Panel, ChocolateBar, and ElvUI.
- Extensible Architecture: The API allows developers to create additional plugins.

Posted Feb 27, 2009Everytime i report /skada report party.. it only reports the last mob killed.. so i then have to change the display to Total damage.. if you could add an option to change mode to total like you have for damage that would be great

Posted Feb 26, 2009nice nice nice addon!
i got the same error every now and then as thedrama

4) When in left-click on Skada minimap icon to hide stats, and after some time click again to back it, it looks like title merged with first player name: http://www.picamatic.com/show/2009/02/23/10/12/2407694_460x243.jpg

some wishes: - reporting via the minimap button would make things sooo much easier. i have no space for macro's or i don't want to learn the commands from the top off my head. so reporting to various channels (/s /g /o /p /r and /whisper to partymembers/raidmembers/random [fill in name]) would be great. take a look at violation to get inspired.
- see which boss the damage was for. only see all and current now. that's sometimes a little confusing.
- i wish skada would have an option to hide itself, until you mouse over it. could be an extra option maybe?

Posted Feb 23, 2009One thing I am missing is an option that is "Grow upwards", which means that even though it starts at bottom left, nr 1 is at the top. Not like the "Reverse bar growth" that keeps nr1 at the bottom.

Posted Feb 23, 2009This addon better than Recount, don't leave this project please :)
I have some problems:
1) As said in #22977 post, on some bosses Skada makes about 3 segments for one boss
2) When I check "Only keep boss fights" looks like nothing recorded, just old mobpacks and last boss in Skada, no new boss
3) What correct command for report to player directly? /skada report <name> - reports in /say Is it because player name in cyrilic? All other report options works perfectly.
4) When in left-click on Skada minimap icon to hide stats, and after some time click again to back it, it looks like title merged with first player name: http://www.picamatic.com/show/2009/02/23/10/12/2407694_460x243.jpg
[wishlist] Is it possible make addon more advanced for healers? [wishlist]

Posted Feb 22, 2009dps Skada 968,5 : Violation 970 : Recount 951,0
Total dmg: Skada 152048 : Violation 164200 : Recount 152716
hit: Skada 77% : Violation N/A : Recount 78%
crit: Skada 7,3% : Violation N/A : Recount 7,3%
How come Skada and Violations show the same DPS but not same total damage!?!? And also Recount and skada show the same total but different dps?!?
Are you using different equations? or listening to different events?

Posted Feb 23, 2009In Skada, DPS is the total damage divided by the number of seconds the player has been active.
The number of seconds a player has been active is in Skada the time between the first recorded event and the last recorded event. A recorded event is anything that Skada tracks, which depends on what modules you have loaded.

Posted Feb 24, 2009Seriously, i think that is the proper way to determine the dps, though; does the timer start if the mob hits me first? Or is it MY action that triggers the timer?
Dunno how recount does it, but if you do it like this then Recount isn't and that is wrong! :) Anyway, does Skada sync and if, does it do an evaluation of the total data and outputs a average or?

Posted Feb 20, 2009Jeah nice job so far :)
But there seems to be something wrong with the "current fight" splitting: http://images.geforz.de/album/World of Warcraft/misc/WoWScrnShot_022009_225444.jpg But the Loatheb and Noth segments were just one fight.
And an overall dmg comparision between Skada and Recount for Naxx clear: http://images.geforz.de/album/World of Warcraft/misc/WoWScrnShot_022109_011929.jpg
