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 Jun 14, 2017As of today, some modules (Damage, DPS, Healing, etc..) are not gathering any data and are showing DISABLED in red. Any idea how to fix this?
*Got it, only seems to be disabled in some zones. Kinda a Blizzard thing I guess ..

Posted Apr 20, 2017Not sure if I'm the only one with this problem but is there anyone else who can't seem to find the threat section? I know it used to be there as I used it not too long ago. Now I can't find it anywhere. Was it removed or is mine just bugged out?

Posted Apr 3, 2017Ch3vr0n complained about it too on this page. Skada window pops up when hidden taking an FP from dalaran, or when taking the portal from dalaran to SW. Despite the options saying it should be hidden.

Posted Mar 31, 2017You can manually start a new segment on phases by way of keybinds, or the menu.

Posted Mar 29, 2017After the patch and even after the update I'm finding that skada keeps stretching out horizontally on my ui. even if I have it locked or unlocked, I fix it, and after some time it goes back all stretched out. Is there a way to fix it? Since everytime I relog, reload, reload ui, it stretches skada out. I dont want to switch damage meters, but it's a little troublesome when it stretches out mid fight and I cant see my spells :(

Posted Mar 29, 2017Try enabling 'Load out of date addons' on your addon screen to get Skada to load.
Skada is working fine for me.

Posted Mar 22, 2017Hey mate, any chance we can clic a player´s name and open a whisper window?.. sometimes while in LFR if the player leaves, and his realm name is complicated or I simply forgot it, the chance to have a talk with him is lost.
Ty a lot for such an amazing addon
