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.

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 Nov 14, 2009Great addon and very light for a healer as we dont really need to know all the other data recount uses.
Is there any way to change the boarder colour of the background as there is no option to do it.
thanks

Hey there, its a great addon! keep up the good work, unfortunately some bugs still occur in the latest release.
i can not reproduce it but every now and then skada's threat module shows everyone except me, the MT. its very annoying due to the fact that even a /reload does not solve it. i encountered this misbehavior in ulduar at first a few months ago and its still a "feature" in all actual encounters anub'arak or onyxia it doesn't matter, i even encounterd it in the scarlet event thingi ;)
second bug: the damage meter does not always automaticaly show up after fightend. the battle is over and approx. 10 seconds are needed to get dmg informations. or it completely refuses to switch to the dmg module and stays in threat.
third or second.5: sometimes the automatic switch between threat and another module after fight does not function.
the last one (maybe only a feature request): while pausing or rebuffing i trie to look up some things but, if someone enters the instance or disconnects/connects in the raid all context menus disappear. is there a possibility to fix this behavior?
regards

Posted Nov 19, 20092. Recount is a ridiculous memory hog, but it's detailed data is excellent for teaching purposes. The detailed data tells the full story of how a player is doing and where they can improve. You can observe a stronger player's playstyle and see how that can be implemented into your own. On the flip side, the detailed data also shows where your fellow teammate needs work so your guild's raid overall damage or healing is vastly improved in raid encounters. If you simply want #s then Skada is excellent and very lightweight. If you're looking to see how you can improve compared to others in the raid...Recount's full program is better. Ultimately, the most accurate way to determine how you can improve is studying the data your guild uploads to the online programs such as Worldoflogs.com. That is exact and tells the full story.

Posted Oct 27, 20091. If I logoff or DC midfight I lose the ability to see damage done to particular enemies. It displays total damage done and damage done by ability fine, but the damage done to enemies is blank.
2. Sometimes when I hover over someone it displays the info for someone else.
Anyone else run into these issues?
