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.
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.

Posted Sep 11, 2024Would anyone be able to fix the problem with the damage breakdown that came about during the war within pre patch? The addon counts damage correctly, but we're currently unable to see which ability did what amount of damage.

Posted Aug 11, 2024When looking for "skada" in WowUp there are three forks that are newer:
Skada(TWW)
Skada Damage Meter (Revisited)
Skada: Reforged - The War Within (11.0)
I went with the one that has the most downloads.

Posted Jul 28, 2024In reply to Baz4k: Thank you so much for this, every time there's a patch I try to use Details and configure it to look as much like Skada as possible until Skada can be updated. Looks like Skada:OG original owner seems to have dropped development for it.

Posted Aug 3, 2024In reply to Baz4k: in terms of calculating the damage it was already working before the update, the problem was and still is the fact it doesn't show the damage breakdown for abilities, besides the 3 that appear on main page, at least that's what I'm seeing so far.

Been actual a couple years since an update, don't expect one anytime soon. Switched to recount for the time being since skada is just throwing LUA errors on loading into the game.

I was able to fix this current version of skada until someone created a more up to date version. Recount is ok, it's not as light weight as skada though so I have it turned off at the moment and using this since I fixed it. I think it was only 2 lua files I had to make small changes to make it work. I am going to try the TWW version soon though.

Posted Jan 5, 2024Is there a way to get Skada to mimic details ability to show segments dynamically? Like when the dungeon is over it will show the "dungeon total" but in normal scenarios it will show the current fight encounter or fight?
