Skada Damage Meter

Table of Contents

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
Skada Player Score: Generate combined performance scores for players.

There is a page with API information here.

Hello,

You fixed the Greater Blessing of Might, which is amazing. I love you.

However, Stormlash is not yet fixed :(

GBoM still nto working. There is difference between logs and Skada showings. This could be caused by more than one retribution in raid

I've not used Skada for a couple of weeks. Is it still showing the "Void Tendrils" damage from the Touch of the Void heirloom trinket as a separate entity for other players? (It should be combining it as pet damage but this only happens for the user, and not other party members.)

If you are using a recent version, this should be fixed. However, it is a bit experimental still. Same goes for Greater Blessing of Might.

Seems to be working now!

However, when linking to damaging abilities, when posting damaging abilities to a chat, it says that Templar's Verdict has a 100 Yard range.

Small bug fix for Right to Left orientation.

When changing bar orientation to Right to Left the Class icons are pushed outside of the Skada frame.

Love to see smite for disc priests count as healing. As of right now, skada correctly counts it for atonement healing but smite also places an absorb debuf on the boss which prevents 100% of smite's damage from even going out.

Thanks. Yeah, I set the border thickness to zero (the small inner border seems to be made by Skinner, which is how I liked the border), and the "bar font size" seemed to increase from 12 to 13 for some reason after the update, which was weird, but seems to be fixed.

@DarkLimpan

Is that tiny inner border made by another addon? If so, just disable Skada's own border in the window settings. Set border thickness to zero.

My settings were changed as well with the r642 update. How do I make it look like it used to, but with the latest version?

You can disable the border in the Skada window's configuration window.
