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.

This addon just needs a .toc update for 8.0.1 One of the authors, funkydude was last online Tue, Dec, 18 2018 so they are likely still active.
Can anyone who's tested the other damage/dps meter options offer some feedback on which damage meter addon has the highest accuracy/performance between Skada, Details!, and Recount?

In reply to Wyr3d:
please update.
Will skada that was last updated Aug 9th work with 8.1 WoW BFA?
In reply to shadowmoto:
Oh, this is a stupid question, but I still want to ask
Is there any other API that can control the size and positioning of Skada? Thank you
Is there an update for WoW BFA Skada Damage Meter, or when is it projected to come out? Its one of the main addons I like to use.
How do I get Skada to show what realm people are on?
***Hunter Animal Companion Bug***
it is still not combining the damage of the animal companion pet talent. Merge pets is obviously not working as intended.

3.
like this.
how to slove it?
many thanks.
the version is the newest!
Is there a fix coming for posting results to a channel... everytime I try to post it comes out in weird orders. Others in my guild have the same problem.
Could you please add an option to display spec icon, instead of role or class icon? I want to be able to see if people are Frost, Fire, Arcane etc.
Not sure if the problem is related to me only but i'm not able to swap window background color, doesn't matter if I go to an old version/add new window.
Also wtb spec icons like details, cba swapping to details, been using skada since icc.
Please remove Cannon Blast from damage done.
When turning off the merge pet option while playing demonology warlock, the vilefiend damage does not register at all, even under your character or as a pet, only shows when merge pet is active
It doesn't show the server the player is from, even tho there is a lot of empty space for it. That's my biggest concern with the addon. There isn't even a setting to add the server from what I can see. That's a *huge* downside of this addon vs for example recount.
Hi, would it be possible to add Spec icons? I see the class and role options but not spec.
Thanks.
