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".

Posted Jul 23, 2015I don't think the leech goes towards hps unfortunately- it appears like a flat spirit trinket. It'd be great if the leech would go towards the healer's hps since in some cases this trinket is best in slot.

Posted Jun 25, 2015Currently Skada does not display damage done by the Mirror of the blademaster trinket to other Skada users, it's only visable for yourself. It does still show up on warcraft logs however.

Posted Jun 23, 2015hope you know that soul capacitor trinket from hfc counts double damage. it count absorbed part which is wrong. so damage in skada from every agility dps player with this trinket is highly inflated.

Posted May 15, 2015Hello, I was wondering if you could maybe add an option to change the color of the title? Like for example on elv UI the color of the General and Combat tab is blue, Maybe you can change the color of the title bar for skada to maybe some colors? If its not too much trouble. Thanks :)

Posted Apr 6, 2015Almost perfect but falls short in pvp even though (i think) the fuctionality is there or I'm retarded (good possibility).
Friendly healing shows the spell breakdowns in percents, averages, etc but doesn't show the 'count' while enemy healing does.
Friendly damage shows which spells they did their damage with, how much, and how many. Enemy damage done just shows... who did damage to who.
There isn't a differentiation between offense dispels and cleanses. Trying to weed out someone in an RBG proves to be hard when I see our MW getting a free 150 dispells, a resto druid getting 30 from cleanses, a DK getting 60 from icy touch, etc. The ability tracker could use another layer in its tree as well.
Is this something I can figure out on my own? I mean, I can find the answers to all those questions by bouncing back and forth between 6 different charts, it's jsut a matter of collecting it under the same category.
edit: And I would be SO happy if I could seperate segments by entire (and seperate) battle gounds matches and arenas.

Posted Apr 4, 2015I have used Recount for many years and never had any problems with it.
However i would like to give Skada a try - but i do not know does it have any advantages over Recount?
Any special features or capabilities that Skada has (compared to Recount)?

Posted Apr 1, 2015Is there a chance to add another number format to allow for damage/healing/dps to be detailed (full number) with comma separation?

Posted Mar 18, 2015Is there any way I can pause data collection? For example I don't need DPS metres when fighting a world boss, and collecting data from a 40man raid takes up quite a bit of memory.

Posted Mar 16, 2015I'm getting very different results from Skada compared to my guild members who are using Recount and the Warcraftlogs addon. Sometimes my DPS is off by as much as 5-7k (i.e. lower on Skada, higher on their meters). I have no clue what could cause this but I think it started with your 6.1 update, though I'm not sure.

Posted Mar 17, 2015(I think) DPS is calculated differently between the two. One is something like damage done divided by time you spent in combat and the other is damage done divded by raid spent on combat or something along those lines.
