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".
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 very easy to extend, and there are many extra plugin addons out there that add functionality, such as:
- Skada Graphs: Adds graph display systems to Skada
- Skada DPSplusHPS: Useful add-on for Disc Priests.
- Skada Chat Frame Integrator: Integrates Skada in any chat frame.
- SkadaScroll: Provides additional options for scrolling the bar displays
- Skada Avoidance and Mitigation: Helps tanks benchmark their damage reduction performance via avoidance and mitigation
- Skada for Tanks: Adds information useful for evaluating a tank's performance
- Guild Skada High Score: Let's you compare a guild's performance.
- Skada_FriendlyFire: Display friendly fire damage done by players

Posted May 16, 2014Can you please fix the issue with Skada reverting to Total Damage between logins?
I actually abandoned Skada because of it a while back, but decided to give it another shot because I miss some of the good functionality it packs. I removed all the Skada saved settings lua files from all account subdirectories for my characters, re-configured it from scratch, and for a week or two, it behaved like expected, until now, when I always upon logging in have to switch it back to Current Fight on all my characters. It's quite an annoyance to be honest.
If you need help with troubleshooting it, just tell me what to do to provide useful feedback.

Posted May 13, 2014Simple Request: Add so that it shows Name-Realm on the list when you mousehover the name, Not in the list itself, bu t when you mousehover them.......so that you could see the realm of the person you competed with for example if it was on ordos or Flex or even the new normals/heroics now are cross-realms, other dmg meter addons has this feature, but it happened nomurous times that some guy did insane dmg then left the group and I mouse hover him and can't find out which realm he was from.

Posted May 12, 2014I'm suddenly having problems with Skada. When I try to dismiss my current pet the wow UI complains that Skada is preventing it from completing the action.
No idea why that suddenly happens, I didn't change anything recently.
Any ideas?

Posted May 15, 2014boo. I like other aspects of skada compared to recount. If this can't be sorted by number of deaths, then this may be useless for me.
Thanks for the update. good luck with t his addin.

Posted May 15, 2014Starting in version 1.4-16, the Deaths summary screen for the Total segment is sorted by the number of deaths. The Deaths summary screen for other segments is still sorted by time (now first death instead of last) so you can easily see who died first and the order in which people died during a particular fight.

Posted May 11, 2014Hello,
I just downloaded this addin. One of my officers recommended this over recount.
How do you sort the death mode by number of deaths and not the time of the deaths? I can't seem to figure that out.

Posted May 11, 2014why did you need to disable it in PvP in the first place lol ,
and going in Menu / Interface / addons / Skada is always a good way , or use the minimap icon if you have it enabled ,
and just in case you disabled it completly in wow , then in the Character selection screen there is a big red button called " addons " where you can re-check any addons to be loaded up :) ,
hope this helps

Posted May 5, 2014Reset does not clear segments you have (perhaps accidentally) set to keep. After resetting, use the skada menu to delete any segments that remain.

Posted May 2, 2014Is there a plug-in for PVP (well PVE as well I guess) that can show you amount of time spent out of control of your character. (also known as being CC'd). Stunned, polymorphed, feared, silenced etc.

Posted May 16, 2014I'm looking for an addon that displays the amount of time you have been in CC, not amount of CC you have received. (1 second fear x10 is equal to 8 second fear x10 on the cc tracker).

Posted May 15, 2014There is currently no direct keybind for reporting, but you can place a /skada report command in a macro and hotkey that.
See /skada for full usage information on /skada report
