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 Swedish for "Damage".

wuzah! I like Skada, byebye recount Thanks for your work Zarni <3


But.. if it had a wish and it would be possible: Could you insert
- an option to turn off the spark effect on the bars and
- an option to turn off the bars (or an option to change to an "empty" bar similar it is possible in recount)

pleeeeeeeeeeease

-> I like the text-only mode, that's it

I would just like a on/off switch. I.e. when it's on collect all data where ever I am, and when it's off, well, it's off. Advantage is just one switch to manage. Disadvantage would be if you forget to turn it on. But usually there is some trash before a boss so you notice anyway.

No actually, the problem remains - it is the Threat data feed. Will be fixed in next version.

In the latest version, this as well as whispering can be done though the menu.

I would like to see the amount of absorbed damage, that the others damage meters don't show. Would make this meter the best, more accurate meter addon.
In a certain way this "absorbed damage" stat appears on the site dejawow,com (like WWS website).

A discipline priest has many shields and all the passive healing done is hidden, but still can be counted as effective.

The latest version has Enemy damage done and Enemy damage taken modes. These show the enemies involved in a segment. Drilling down shows who did damage to or took damage from the enemy.

It isn't quite "phases", but it gives you a good idea of who did what.

[edit] Oh and ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA is the event that triggers when the type of instance changes.

Hide when Solo does it's job a little too well. I guess you check the amount of Party and Raid members. But am I really solo with my pet out?

Thanks for adding misses, but haven't you thought about maybe creating a tooltip or adding in spell details more, well... details?

dodge, parry, block, miss, restist, partial resist - those are helpful informations (specially for me as a tank).
