Skada Damage Meter  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.8.2
by: zarnivoop, funkydude, oscarucb

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.

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:

thanks !
I've been having this same issue since the update last week.

The sizing is messed up. It's not locking where I want it to be on both the windows I use. It took 10minutes for me to finally get the healing window sized to fit the panel it lives in. The damage window is still being stubborn and will not stay locked no matter what i do to the rest of the sizing, scale and bar options.

Please help, this is extreeeeeeeeemly annoying! Thnx

As a shadow priest all my vampire healing at Major Staghelm is shown as overheal where worldoflogs show only something around 51%. In 2 try I was even at 125% overheal, may be also the heal hyme was counted as overheal for me.

May be this is only because I'm shadow, just wanted to give a head up for this.

Can the option to change the number of bars shown be readded? The new scale option doesn't quite fit well into my UI compared to the previous version where I could limit skada to show a total of only 12 bars.

EDIT: It would appear this option hasn't been removed, only moved. Didn't quite get that from the change log, maybe write that out a bit clearer?

Due to the way the total bar is implemented (sums up whatever the primary value for a mode is), currently this is not possible. You will have to go to the DPS mode for this.

ElvUI (and other Tukui derivatives) modifies Skada to make it fit into the UI. That part of ElvUI has not been updated yet to reflect the recent changes in Skada. In the meantime, you can disable ElvUI's Skada skinning and just configure it yourself.

I still have the same problem when I am viewing "Absorbs and healing" and I mouseover any of the bars I ONLY see Absorb details. So, as a resto druid, I never see any details at all (since I have no absorbs). And when I mouseover my holy paladin healer partner, I only see her absorbs and not her healing.

It used to show both absorbs and healing when mousing-over any entry in that mode

I updated Skada today and it seems, that the aggro-window is broken as no data were shown within!?

Edit: OK, aggro is shown. It only doesn't work on boss-dummies...

i thought so to, but apparently now, if you unlock your window you can drag its with and hight at the bottom right corner which will adjust the numbers of bars and with of the bars.

quite handy, but should be in the changelog to avoid confusions.
edit: nvm, its mentioned. im just slow at getting it:P or i just overlooked it when i updated it
