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 Apr 8, 2023Skada doesn't work when using the Training Dummies, could this be made to work perhaps? Other damage meter type addons work fine against the target dummies, I don't particularly want to move to something else.

Posted Nov 17, 2022Most demon hunters will spec into Fodder of the Flame where Throw Glaive instantly kills the demon that spawns which has alot of health and therefore does alot of damage thus skewing the results in the damage meter as Throw Glaive being the highest damage ability on the list.
Details! as far as I know doesn't count this

Posted Oct 29, 2022How to choose between addon "SkadaFriendlyFire" (which is mentioned in Skada description on this page, and also exists on CurseForge), and module "Skada\modules\FriendlyFire.lua" inside Skada itself?
Or they both should exist?

Thank you for the update! I am so happy that Skada will continue to work in DF.
Can you package the .zip file on GitHub so that the folder Skada\ is included in the .zip file for the addon folders? That's how the .zip file on Curse is set up for manual downloads. That would allow me to unzip the .zip file directly to the WoW retail Addons folder (which is what I do with any other addons I install manually) instead of having to create the Skada folder myself and to into that folder to unzip the .zip file in there.

Posted Oct 27, 2022In addition to eSkiSo's answer, as per the API changelog, SetMinResize and SetMaxResize have been changed to SetResizeBounds, so, you probably want to change the deprecated calls to SetResizeBounds and not just remove them.
FROM:
TO:
list:SetResizeBounds(60, 40, 800, 800)
For the SetHighlightTexture, the '1.0' can also be replaced by "ADD". Removing the 1.0 probably disables blending (although not sure about this).

I still had to put it on a shelf, because all that patch did was cause WoW to not launch.
