Skada Damage Meter

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:

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.
SkadaScroll: Provides additional options for scrolling the bar displays
Skada Avoidance and Mitigation: Helps tanks benchmark their damage reduction performance via avoidance and mitigation
Skada for Tanks: Adds information useful for evaluating a tank's performance
Guild Skada High Score: Let's you compare a guild's performance.
Skada_FriendlyFire: Display friendly fire damage done by players
Skada Player Score: Generate combined performance scores for players.

There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada.
Suggestions and bug reports here. Bug reports in comments will be deleted. There is a page with API information here.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

czokalapik A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 18 Uploads: 0	Can you please add option to display misses of skills? i have crits, hits, even glancing, but no misses. Partial resists would also be nice. For now i'm staying with Recount, because in most cases when i use Dmg Meter i need it for exact informations of each skill, and also Skada doesn't have option to record mobs dmg/dmg taken etc, which is helpful tool for Raid Leaders in some cases. Think about those upgreades, mod is light and really clear, also looks very nice, but some players use Dmg meters not for measuring dps, but for other, more exact and detailed information about their damage or raid damage, buffs debuffs etc. ps: sorry for my english ;]

Omg, clicking is hard.

What's the point of a dps mode if it's already shown in the damage mode...

Those people should refer to WWS/WMO reports... much easy and no preformance hit in-game.

Two examples:
1) I just heard that hit cap for 2h is 8%, not 9% like it was always, i want to check it, and raid is coming, so i don't want to do lower dps because i won't notice misses if it's not true, what will i do? Check Recount misses.
2) I'm raid leader and we are attempting sartharion +3, i want to know after every single wipe who put how much dmg in tenebron, so in options i'm enabling recording and showing data for bosses, after that in Damage Taken i just click Tenebron and voila, i know who should be motivated due to low damaga, and about who i don't want to worry about.

So... refering to WWS/WMO in such cases? No thanks.

edit: WWS and WMO are for deep analysis (and for archival purposes), in-game dmg meters are for on the fly analysis, for quick correcting errors, for tips what's atm wrong, what's right with my gear / raid setup / etc.

Tell my why on EJ or pretty much everywhere if someone posts dmg meter from testing his build or from boss there is recount in 99,9% cases?
In my opinios it's because it have most of needed tools for measuring damage in most possible exact way in game.

Yes, this is an "old" bug I only got around to fixing today, in 1.0-13.

There isn't. Why have something complex when you can show two things in the same window?

There is, make things clear, dps is one thing, damage done is another things, two windows, one click, simple.

If the author made that difference it's for a reason, clarity.

kurt1288 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 16 Uploads: 0	It seems that with the changes made to detecting combat (perhaps?) and the extra 3 seconds before ending, that the DPS values are now off considerably from Recounts. My dps values are anywhere from 100-400 lower than recounts. It used to be almost the same.
