Skada Damage Meter

Table of Contents

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.

Oh, I really like this.

New request: Last fight option, or dropdown of individual boss fights in a report.

this looks very interesting to me as a recount user, the only question i have is if skada has a sync option? i remember back in the day when recount didn't, and it was always so way off compared to sw stats that did sync.

Skada does not sync, no. I don't think it is needed either, as the combatlog range is enough these days.

You can report to guild/officer/raid/party with this syntax:

/skada report raid

Add a number to limit the number of lines spammed.

In the next version you can also report to any channel or player.

Pets are merged, yes. The pet detection is not 100% though as of yet.

I was in love with Assessment back in the day, its comprehensive breakdown of fights and accuracy was truly mind boggling when compared with the clunky interfaces of every other option.

Some suggestions to bring it up to par with that mod (and your well on your way to a fantastic meter mod);

-Breakdown of hit/miss/crit (i.e: heals that hit for normal/heals that crit one step deeper then the existing break down of what types of heals were used)
-Apply Colors to dmg type or hit/crit colors for dmg/healing.
-An additive chart combining overhealing + actual healing for total healing.
-Multiple window support.

Has merge pets been included in the latest build? That's the only thing keeping me from using it at this time.

Sorry, by current revision I meant the as of yet unreleased version I'm working on. :)

The most current (development) version can always be found on Curse's sister site, wowace.com.

Awesome addon. The memory usage is excellent. I'll continue to use Recount but if you decide to implement a "merge pet with owner" option, I'll drop Recount like a bad habit and start using this.

Very nice work. Please keep it up.

I like this mod a lot but 1 thing that i cant get past is that it wont merge my fire elemental or some hunter pets with the owner. Is there a way u can merge these?

I tried it yesterday, it works great! I love the 'fail' mode to quiclky see who stupidly dies on void zone for Sarth3d ;)

fews things:
-For the fail bot, could you add the 'overdamage' condition, to check who dies on event? the fail bot register all relevant events, even the not lethals ones

-Boss are not recognized, at least in french (frFR) i checked the code, i saw you are using the 'worldboss' tag for Uint, it seems in french it's just 'boss'. Maybe you could use BigWigs events to check this, instead?

There is an option to display detailed numbers in 1.0-5 (condensed is still the default).

You can report to guild, raid, party in addition to /say in 1.0-5.
