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.
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).

Posted Aug 29, 2022Farewell. Another old friend has left my Addons folders. It's been a while, but we all have to move on, eventually.

Posted Nov 28, 2021I may need to soon switch to another addon, sad to say. Skada still functions for the most part but it's been over a year since the last update and, with the soon-to-be on PTR Patch 9.2.0, the addon will only depreciate further.
It's not an easy thing to let go. I've been using Skada since the days of Throne of Thunder, when the Thunder King boss fight forced a switch from Recount due to the latter causing severe encounter issues. Never looked back after that.
So long, and thanks for all the numbers.

Posted Aug 6, 2021Seems to be completely broken and abandoned. Bugs all over the place with this. The worst being it popping up when it isn't meant to and not recording any data at all when it's meant to. Time to move on to another dps meter looks like.

Posted Feb 13, 2021Something is borked. It keeps activating the skada window even when it's not meant to. E.g. changing zones will reactivate it even when i'm solo and I have the option to have it hidden when solo.
Edit: Figured it out. Turns out if you have both "Hide in pvp" + "Hide while solo" ticked, it breaks the addon and it activates the window when solo everytime you change zones or reload etc. Addon appears to be abandoned.

Posted May 6, 2020Yeah I only just realised this recently for Hunters its far from accurate, used Skada for as long as I can remember, never had any issues's but recently had to switch to Details because of this issue, still have Skada installed and still believe its is the best most efficient meter but on My Hunter main it simply is useless.
