Skada Damage Meter   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes. It is inspired mainly by Assessment, but also by Recount.

Skada sports segmented fights and detailed views, while being highly efficient with memory. This is accomplished by aggregating data on fight segments.

Skada is entirely modular; the modes listed below are all separate addons. Only the modes you load adds to the memory and CPU cycles used.

Features:
  • Automatic mode switching when entering combat. For example, you can have Threat mode be shown in combat. Skada can switch back after combat ends.
  • Specific fight segments can be kept indefinately.
  • Multiple windows. Each window can be configured fully.
  • Threat mode can warn on high threat.
  • Modes: Damage done, DPS, Threat, Enemy damage done, Enemy damage taken, Healing, Overhealing, Total healing, Absorbs estimated, Damage taken, Dispels, Mana regen, Debuff uptimes, Failbot, and more.
  • Reports can be done everywhere. For example, you can report a certain player's Debuff uptimes.
  • Summary information for most modes (DPS, HPS, Fails, etc) in a LDB view/minimap button.
  • LDB data feed can show personal/raid DPS or personal threat.
  • Support for SharedMedia and Class Colors.

Usage:

At first a list of all the modes above are shown. Right-click to show the available fight segments. "Total" and "Current" should be there. After a fight a new segment will appear here. By left-clicking on a segment you choose what data will be shown in the modes. Left-click on "Current" to get back to the mode list. "Current" shows data for the active fight, or the last fight if you are out of combat.

Left-click on a mode, for example "Damage", to show that mode. Left-click again to show more detailed data. Not all modes have detailed data. Right-click to return back to your previous position.

Shift-click anywhere on the window to open a menu. From here you can report data, reset data, and various other things. You can also report with /skada report.

You can configure Skada from "Configure" in the menu, or from the game's Interface->Addons window. You can create new Skada windows here and customize them. A popular feature is "Mode switching".

Data can be reset with /skada reset, from the menu, or by shift+left clicking the minimap/LDB button.

There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada. All suggestions and bug reports are very welcome. There is a page with API information here.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

* Added an optional background frame. It can either change size dynamically according to the number of shown bars, or have a fixed size, which will then determine the number of shown bars.

Anyone having trouble with the death logging? It worked the first couple of fights I ran it with but after that its just showing nothing when you drill down into a specific death. It still lists the total number of deaths correctly but just seems to have no detail.

Also would it be possible to add the targets health at each stage in the death log? This gives a MUCH better view of what is going on (and is standard in Recount and Acheron).

Thanks!

Could you make a /skada show and /skada hide command that would show/hide all windows? As a raidleader I need to be able to very easily display it.... sometimes. And the rest of the time would like it hidden. Right now my only choice is to always have it visible.

I disabled all addons except skada and it still uses 2.2mb of memory whereas before it only used 700kb. I only use damage and threat modules if that helps. Thanks for a great addon.
SkadaDamage allways used 2+MB after a few hours of raiding (Skada itself using 1-2 MB aswell, since it caches saved data i think, and 2mb is nothing anyway. What you should be concerned about with addons is how much CPU they're using, and i cant comment much on that since i havnen't profiled Skada in a raid yet.

There's one thing that miss me: I often have more DPSin my raids than I want to display with skada, but it automatically scroll down for the worst damage done in the raid. So I would like to know if you can just add an option to enable or disable the scroll down.

Thanks in advance

I saw some mention of excluding some user "pet" or "minion" helpers such as the blood worms and the like. I think this would be a great idea, as well as adding to that list the exclusion of a hunters snakes from the snake trap.
