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.

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.

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 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.

Posted Mar 10, 2015Would it be possible for Skada to remember your dps the last time you downed a given boss and report it back at the end of the fight, much like Deadly boss mods does with the fight timer?
Just as a means to compete with myself and check if I’m improving, or to even compare specs.
