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.

Versions

Midnight (Default): For WoW 12.0+ using the Native API.
Classic Version: The version for older WoW releases.

arjTPA: Were you in the Total set by any chance, having just updated to r147 and not having had the Enemies modes available before?

When can we receive a fix to this bug; it doesn't remember our reporting preference [Party, Say, Guild, etc.]. I'd really appreciate it if you can make this AddOn remember that preference.

Thanks

1.1-1 will remember reporting preference during a session, but not persistently. Good idea though - added to my to-do list.

I'm still having the same issue, both on live game and PTR i see a big shaman discrepancy. All other classes and numbers match between recount and skada but shaman (much higher on recount)... This also happens when comparing threat reads between skada and omen (which i was also looking to replace in the upcoming patch). I don’t play the shaman class, so it’s hard to dissect the numbers and see what’s missing. Is anyone else reporting this?

This is a relly great AddOn, using this since several weeks and love it a lot.

But there is one smaller thing I would like to add to the report-function:
- Report DPS/Threat and so on to the Whisper-Channel (I love to spam my friends <3).

I'm testing this as a replacement for Omen and Recount. Found a couple things that I'd like to see addressed. First, reporing needs a /whisper target option. Second, needs an AoE mode or something to pick up threat when casting AoE but not having a mob targeted. Third, it seems to loos track of mage aggro after Mirror Image is cast.

Doesn't seem to save setting between sessions, every time I log in I have to play with the dropdown menus before it remembers and reverts to the profile. Please fix.

Tested this little Gem. Very nice alternative to Recount, especially the very little memory consumption is beautiful.
I missed one little goody, the spell analysis does not show missed or resisted damage. For me it is vital to know how many of my spells missed the target.

If that is included, I will give Skada another chance.
