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.

I do as well.
The Hide when solo option is ticked, but it keeps showing up randomly on zone change.
Try UNselecting "Hide in PVP" option, it seems it is responsible for random appearences when changing a zone. At least for my warlock it no longer shows up every time when I leave my Order Hall.
I have now the following configuration:
Hide when solo: checked
Hide in combat: unchecked
Hide in PVP: unchecked
Disable when hidden: unchecked
How does this mod interact with disc priests power word shield and the absorb applied by smite? do they both get counted as healing or is either of them left out?
Does not show up in any damage meter because the combat log does not mention the player who cast the proc, making the addons unable to track it. please report it (Mark of the Hidden Satyr)
Skada does not show damage from Mark of the Hidden Satyr. fix it pls
No other damage meter does, there is something bugged about it since Beta but nothing was done about it.
I think I found a small bug: I'm unable to change the text color in the title bar. I choose the color from the color picker but it automatically resets to the default one (white). If I try to change the bar color from the color picker, it immediately show a preview of the color while for the text color it does not.
I tried disabling all my other addons, the problem persists.
This will be fixed in the next release.
I see it works now, thanks :)
@Totofeo
For now you can use my modified Damage.lua to record it for yourself (doesn't record for other players yet)

I can't seem to find a way to see more detail than min/max/avg damage, and how many times the ability crit. When I try to view more detailed information on individual spells it just tells me how many times it did and didn't crit.
I want to see how much damage my abilities typically deal when they don't critically strike, to get a better idea of my damage spread, and how Chaotic Energies affects my DPS. Also Skada seems to record every instance of damage from Dimensional rift together for the maximum damage, resulting in a minimum damage of about .3k and a maximum of 11.2k for the Chaos Barrage rift, and 4.9k/40.8k respectively for the Shadow Bolt rift.
hey, my skada suddenly disappeared and no way i can get it back again any help ?
I've got the same issue. Can't toggle to see the damage meter at all
Having the same issue. Also some of my evlui options are missing. I'm thinking the problem is related.
Also this only seem to be happening to my priest. Checked my mage, warrior and pally. There skada windows are fine and so are there evlui options.
same issue here can't toggle the damage meter but i can access to config and other stuff
Are the new neck enchants like Hidden Satyr not showing up in the meters because blizzard made those not show who's procing the effect on Combat Log?
Would it be possible to add an option to rearrange the bars? So for example I could put: Damage, DPS, Healing Done and Damage Taken as the first 4 bars.
Can't seem to find an answer for this anywhere and its not listed in the configurations. But does Skada automatically include pet damage? If not how do you make it include?
title bar of every window says DISABLED out of the blue. cant tell whats causing the issue, but its also not working anymore
