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 Aug 4, 2009Very nice mod though, you converted me from Recount because of the vast efficiency difference. Your mod uses like 1/25th the cpu and memory of recount and gets the job done. Very Impressive :)

Posted Jul 29, 2009No, there is no pull aggro bar currently. Please note that by default Skada shows scaled threat, meaning you pull aggro at 100%, regardless if you are ranged or not. There is an option to enable Omen's behaviour.

Posted Jul 28, 2009I may have missed this feature the last time I played with Skada. On the threat module, is there a line for the percentage needed to pull aggro? In Omen, it shows up something like this in the bars:
Pull Aggro 130%
----------------------------
Tank/Pet 100%
----------------------------
Player 60%
This is probably the only reason I have stuck with Omen - I can see that line and know my boundary on the meter. Otherwise, I love the notion of the switch from DPS to threat in combat and vice versa. Keep up the good work.

Posted Jul 26, 2009I got two problems:
1. When I want to link the deathcause of someone SkadaDamage only displays 10 lines. But most time the log is longer than that.
2. It seems to me, that currently the damagedetail view doesn't show correct values. For example I used a lot of Death Strikes but Skada only showed 1 Hit and 1 Crit.
Hope you can repruduce this behaviour and fix it.
Else keep up the beautiful work, I like Skada.
Kind regards

Posted Jul 23, 2009And a small Bug maybe - yesterday we did Steelbreaker last, in my Damage Summary Heartstrikes didnt show up at all. It looks like Skada added them to auto Attacks.
are you planing a total bar like recount has? For total Raid DPS i.e.

Posted Jul 29, 2009I have been considering adding a total bar, but as of yet I have not figured out a efficient way of implementing it. Note that you can display total raid DPS as a data feed (under "General options") in the LDB display addon of your choice.
