Skada Damage Meter 

I've watching the dps meters ( skada, recount ) , and i've noticed that the dps of all the locks ,when combat ends it suddenly jumps down about 300-600 dps.

Its only in 3.2 , why the down in dps after the boss dies ? , Elsia from recount said :

"Alright thanks for this. Indeed the Fel Armor heal ticks are responsible for the after combat DPS drop effect that people reported. I managed to reproduce this.

It's kind of a weird situation because in a way this is almost intended behavior, but I can see how it's tricky.If combat is active (the dummy takes some time to get out of combat from) healing is counted towards activity time in Recount and hence it will lower your DPS. Also because of this idling time for Locks when combat is going on otherwise will drop your DPS because you are counted as active healer, which you are.

But clearly this is a change in behavior of the combat log because the CL used to simply not report full overheals of HOT like effects.

I'll commit a version that acts as if this change to the CL never happened. I.e. it will return to not counting pure overheals as activities. I'll have to think about if there is a better solution than this, because it seems supoptimal for healers, but for now at least it restores consistency to before 3.2. "

Can we have a patch to Skada to correct it ? , there is also another dps drop in aoe ( with destro locks ) , anyone noticed ?

I've noticed the change to dps and the Fel Armor overhealing behavior as well. I am curious if this has anything to do with Blizzard's 'hotfix' for Val'anyr.

Quote from: Ghostcrawler (Source). We managed to get in a hotfix today that allows periodic healing ticks that were going to overheal entirely to go ahead and fire. Previously they did not fire. This means that effects that were able to proc from HoT ticks that did some healing can now also proc from HoT ticks that overheal completely. The most notable such effect is that Val'anyr's absorb shield should now work as advertised. All these ticks should now appear in the combat log as well, allowing you to get a fuller sense of your raw healing output from all sources.

Sorry that we did not comment before now. Given the nature of the bug, we didn't want to promise anything until we were sure we could fix it.



Best Regards.

I've looked through all the options, and I'm just not seeing target-of-target's threat. As a healer, this'd be handy. Direct me?

Hi! Can I post a little feature req here?

Can you make a possibility to set the bars transparent when the "bar class color" option is on please. And make an option to show self solid (not transparent) anyway. Especially for threat mode...

Tank you ^_^

As of today's patch (08/19/09) was skada not been recording fights? For example Skada did not record today's ToC or when I was doing XT. This and other mods have been acting funny since this new patch was implemented. Please let me know if anyone has been experiencing similar incidents. (i do hope it's not one addon messing up others).

Edit:
Is there anyway to stop the menu's from disappearing? For example after a wipe I would like to link info asap, but due to ppl releasing and running back in the menu disappears I have to try atleast 10 times before i'm able to select what channel/lines I want to report. Otherwise the in normal circumstances it will not do this.

Sorry i've tried everything getting my old account back with curse/wowace but I can't and I don't want to register another account so I'm going to post here instead.

I noticed when you add bar padding if you place your mouse between the bars you zoom in/out when you scroll your mouse wheel. I tried enabling Background hoping it would "catch" these scrolls but it doesn't so could you add a feature where the background does this so it would scroll Skada instead?

Any plans to make "Hide when solo" individual from the windows? Atm, i'm using a threat and dps window, but i don't want it to show my threat window when im going solo, except when i have a pet active.

Is there any way to parent a KGpanel to skada? I can't for the life of me find the name of anything I can parent to other than config windows..

Would be awesome if there was an option to set the font color beyond the ability to have them as class color, it would also be nice if you could at the same time set if you wanted thick or thin outline/shadow.

Skada also has strange interaction with font outlines from other addons, such as Chicchai. In Windows it shows outlines *most* of the time in the Skada window, it disappears sometimes while paging in the menus, but when running it in Linux the outlines doesn't show at all. I've not seen the outline at all in Windows 7 either. Might be something special about something in Windows Vista?

Well, if you don't have any ideas why it might be this way, you don't have to bother too much with it. :P

Thanks for a great addon.

I'm using Skada to replace both Omen and Recount and have a few requests:

1. It would be really nice if the various threat warnings could be configured to not fire while solo.

2. It would be really nice if the various threat warnings could be configured to fire even if Skada isn't in threat display mode.

Other then that, I love this addon!

Not sure how to reproduce this problem, but I'm getting this error at times when switching modes from Damage to Threat and other modes as well. Here is the message that pops up.

I like how I can use this to replace Recount and Omen. My only request would be to have an option to hide when Out of Combat. I really only want to see Threat bars while in combat. When out of combat, I can toggle it manually to check the damage meter portion.

I would really appreciate this feature as well. I don't really want to dedicate my entire screen to the damage meter, so I've limited the amount of bars displayed to 10. However, if there are more than 10 people in the raid, it shows the bottom 10 and not the top 10. This is especially annoying when a hunter drops a snake trap.

Other than that, I love the addon. Keep up the great work!

What is the easiest way to display total raid dps using skada?
