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:

Skada is marked abandoned on curse, did something happen, is it really dead?

Hi there! I just want to say,

... I hope you continue to update here on wowinterface, in addition to curseforge or wherever else you may be doing so. I like skada a lot better than the other meters, for the various breakdowns it can give me.

Thank you!

Not sure what's causing it, but my guess is something between elvui and skada. I've run elvui and skada before, but I recently redid my ui and it's no longer resetting on new fights, and acting all weird.

I'll just add my name to confirm I have the problem too. There's also a Skada rescale triangle thing floating around the middle of the screen.
Same here. Hopefully devs will fix soon. Almost made me consider switching back to Recount...but I came to my senses quickly. Details looks promising now, but missing a few features and cleaner look of Skada.
<3 Skada
Let's get this fixed soon devs plskthx.

is there a way to macro the mode change? i want to macro a toggle between damage and healing.

also is there a way to toggle windows independently of eachother instead of toggling everything on and off at the same time?
