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.
- 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.

- Bar: The standard customizable meter.

Posted Dec 15, 2017So this is the only addon I have that can post stuff to chat. During Arena matches, if someone uses a trinket, it goes haywire and spams the trinket use like 5 times. I have the option for it to do so turned off as well.

Posted Oct 25, 2017Is there anyway to add Enemy Dps in arenas/bgs? I would like to be able to compare my dps vs other players. Also class colors would be cool.
Thanks! :)

Does Skada have an API to set window size externally (via other addon)?

Posted Sep 17, 2017Hi There Devs,
Is there a way to have a longer parse history in any settings you offer? I'd like to check back on fights that may be a week or two out in game rather than offsite. Currently it operates on a set number of fights stored into the memory of the log files.
I understand this would probably cause more memory usage. But was wondering if it was a possibility as a separate entity for those willing to use more memory for a longer period of parse history.
Thank you,
Kixx

Posted Sep 10, 2017I am an Outlaw Rogue using Vanessa VanCleef as my combat ally (in the Legion Shore PVE areas). During every battle, when both Vanessa and I are doing damage to the enemy, all damage from Vanessa is being lumped under my total damage (instead of showing 2 separate lines with damage for each of us in the DPS graph display).
When I join a party with another player (Warrior) who uses a combat ally in the same zone, then there are 3 lines total being shown in the DPS graph display = one for me (which includes my combat ally) and a second with only the Warrior and a third with only "Iron Dwarf" = how I see the combat ally of the other player. Thus it seems to recognize the Iron Dwarf as a separate player (and does not combine its damage with the Warrior).
I would like Vanessa (or any other combat ally I might use) to work the same way. I am hoping there is a simple setting I can change to get this working properly? The only similar setting I can find (under General Options) = Merge Pets, which does not seem to have any impact (which makes sense, since combat ally should not be a pet)
I saw this issue with current version (1.7.2) as well as previous versions, so either I have always been using the wrong settings, or its always been broken? Either way, this is NOT a new problem caused by the latest release ... I would greatly appreciate a solution here, so that I am not thinking my DPS is higher than it actually is when doing PVE. Thanks,

Posted Sep 9, 2017Skada seems bugged atm, every time I enter combat I get a short 0.5s freeze and it happens only when skada is on, when I turn it off everything is fine.

Posted Sep 8, 2017Hey there,
Slight issue with the latest version, although I'm not sure what that issue is. No LUA message to tell of a problem, but I have noticed that sometimes (typically in PuGs on Argus) that the add-on fails to calculate the damage of everyone in the group
Not sure why this is happening, or what triggers it (as it's not every PuG) but I have noticed that in some groups that it fails to record on some people. No issue with the user - my damage is always recorded without problem - but even in smaller PuG I've seen people clearly doing damage but nothing showing

Posted Sep 4, 2017Hi there.
Love this addon and have used it for YEARS! Suddenly this morning, ALL of my skada modules are listed as DISABLED in red text, on all of my characters. Has something happened in a recent build or is it a conflict with other addons?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!
