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.

Multiple Windows

Skada supports multiple windows. Create new ones under the Windows section of the configuration panel. Windows can be:

Bar: The standard customizable meter.
Inline: A horizontal line for custom UI setups.
Data Text: For LDB displays and minimal setups.

Navigation

Left-Click: View more detailed information.
Right-Click: Return to the previous view.
Mousewheel: Scroll through lists.
Tooltips: Hover over bars to see additional context and shortcut keys (e.g., Shift-click for targets).

Themes

Manage window designs with the built-in Theme Engine. You can import and export themes by using theme strings.

Classic Version: The version for older WoW releases.

Perhaps I am just missing the obvious, but in cases of multiple death of a player I seem not to be able to select the first death. Any help?

Got this addon as a disc priest for the merged absorbs/healing window and I dont know whats it counting, but its way off. Agroed a mob, casted a shield, recount guessed absorbs counted 7.6 k when it broke, which is about normal, skada counted 1.2 k. Repeated, sometimes it wouldnt count anything, sometimes partially. I would have loved a merged healing+absorbs window, but sadly this doesnt seem to work for this particular section.

Is there a way to merge the DPS of GUARDIANS (e.g. Fire Elemental as Shaman) with Masters DPS?

I have 2 skada windows setup atm, 1 for threat and 1 for damage done. Sometimes(once every 2 weeks or so) the damage done stops showing up(dps doesn't show up either), even if I swap my threat window to damage done display. Anyone else has this problem?

only way to get the damage display back is to delete all skada settings manually

Fantastic Addon. Only thing I really wish it had is a set window size and scrollbars. Keep up the good work.

I have a damage window open, healing, and so forth. I use the skada: modes (current fight) for a overview. Any chance that the DPS number could be rounded or have the decimal formatted? Six decimals is hard to deal with with a smaller font.

Thanks

(Shaman) My Fire Elemental counts as another player/something on my meters.
Any way to merge his damage with mine?

It's from C'thun.
I used to have that sound clip (in the form of a script) built into my macro to pop all cooldowns/pots/trinkets.

hey,

i've got a small issue with skada atm.

i have an own addon for my wow startup to clean up the interface (hide some frames and reposition them etc.)

i've got 2 skada windows (skada + threat), and wanna hide the threat frame until i'm in combat (that's no problem ofc), but on first login (or /reloadui) when "PLAYER_LOGIN" or "PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" fires my threat window always show.

i tried a debug line for my SkadaBarWindowThreat:Hide() function and both start up on player_login + player_entering_world and trying to hide the frame, still it shows up.

any clues?

Love the addon just like a lot of the posters. I have one more request related to the Absorbs+Healing category, which is a great idea! Simply, is there a way to combine those healing and absorb figures into one value so that (like you posted in the change log) Disc priests can start spamming the Skada meters? Be nice to get credit for the total value of damage healed/mitigated rather than be split up into separate lines.
