Skada Damage Meter
Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes, segmented fights and customizable windows. It aims to be highly efficient with memory and CPU.
"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".
Note: I took a tiny break from WoW (a decade), but recently started playing SoD. Be aware that this addon may not quite work yet.
Usage
When you first start using Skada, there will be a window created by default. This window can be extensively customized in Skada's configuration panel; click the little cog icon to access a menu, and then click Configure. Depending on your user interface, there may also be a minimap button allowing quick access to this menu.
Skada supports multiple windows. To create a new window, click Windows in the addon's configuration panel. There are three built-in types of windows - Bar, Inline, and Data text. Bar is the classic damage meter window, and is very customizable. Inline shows the meter in a horizontal line, which can be useful for integration in custom user interfaces. Data text shows just one item at a time, and can also be displayed by any LDB display addon, such as Titan Panel, ChocolateBar, or ElvUI.
In the normal Bar window, you can left click on specific items for more detailed information, and right click for less details. At the very "top" is the list of all saved fight segments. Some data modes have several detailed information views. In this case you choose alternate views by holding certain keys pressed while clicking. For example, in Damage mode, you can Shift-click a player to see what enemies the player caused damage to. Tooltips will display how to reach the different views.
You can also use window buttons for selecting fight segment and mode directly.
Scrolling in Skada is done with the mousewheel.
Plugins
Skada is easy to extend, and there were once many extra plugin addons out there that add functionality. However, there are unlikely to be any maintained ones currently.
There is a page with API information here.

Posted Mar 21, 2009dodge, parry, block and miss should not all going in same 'missed' category...
block is not that important, but +hit rating and +exp rating effects the other 3..
+exp = reduces enemy dodge and parry
+hit = reduces your misses
You think it is possible to subcategory those 3 ??

Posted Mar 20, 2009Has completely replaced Recount and Omen on my Rogue.
On my hunter, though, I still end up using Recount because it shows a DPS bar for my pet.
Is there any way this could be added to Skada?
thanks for the awesome addon.

Posted Mar 19, 2009My concerns: most of the time it shows more DPS done say over recount, its close many times, other times it could be off 200dps more. Its always more as well, its never shows less dps than recount.

Posted Mar 19, 2009Also, please bring back command line reporting, so much easier to whisper someone /skada report [Name] then dig around the menus.

Posted Mar 17, 2009Return command line report options please.
(Like /skada report raid)
It's takes a much time to go a lot of sub menu's and check a lot of things.
Or make clickable text [Skada] to title, which will popup report window, where you can check anything without travel to submenu's (like Report window in Recount)
And little question, it's okay when I reset a big data after Naxx, Skada still takes 2.50mb of memory? Just wondering.
Anyway this addon are great, using it from early versions :)

Posted Mar 17, 2009bug fix for Report(1.1-3)
Whisper bug fix in Skada.lua line 1009 change to Skada:Report(report_channel, Skada.db.profile.report.chantype, Skada.db.profile.report.mode, Skada.db.profile.report.set, Skada.db.profile.report.number)
Custom channel bug fix in Skada.lua line 1096 replace with
local list = {GetChannelList()} for i=1,table.getn(list)/2 do info.text = list[i*2] info.checked = (Skada.db.profile.report.channel == list[i*2]) info.func = function() Skada.db.profile.report.channel = list[i*2]; Skada.db.profile.report.chantype = "channel" end UIDropDownMenu_AddButton(info, level) end
and in Skada:Report function add these under "function Skada:Report(channel, chantype, report_mode_name, report_set, max)"
if(chantype == "channel") then local list = {GetChannelList()} for i=1,table.getn(list)/2 do if(Skada.db.profile.report.channel == list[i*2]) then channel = list[i*2-1] break end end end
Thanks for the great work! I just replace Recount with it!!!
