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:

There are minor differences between Skada and Recount. Here's a pic of the same fight between the two addons.



I'm not sure why the times are different between the two either. Is that local time and not server?

Are you 100% sure that fixed it? I did the same thing, but now it still didn't fix it for me.

Yeah, I just did some testing and I found that the segments themselves are not being properly reset (this wasn't an issue while I was solo and had "Only keep boss fights" checked). I'll try to run an instance with it checked and see if it keeps the info cross session.

Uptimes data

Hi,

I really like the debuff uptimes data that is available, however, would it be possible to implement something similiar for your own buffs?

I play a priest and a hunter and it would be useful to be able to see the %uptime of my replenishment buff and expose weakness/master tactician info. It would save having to get this from WWS logs etc.

Thanks.

yeh that's what i was talking about, my dummy data is still there after a few resets, well to be more precise the data did reset when clicking on the reset switch but after a reloadui it was back, it's as if the saved data is not cleared up.

Nice addon. Ditched Recount

Something I have noticed though is the summary DPS on my minimap button does not match with the window readout. Most of the time its lower.

I think it's because Skada doesn't start recording until you go into combat.

I noticed that the detailed spell report is reporting the resisted amount wrong.

The 1075 was from 3 partial resists of 426, 433, & 216.
Pms's Frostbolt hits Grandmaster's Training Dummy for 1 Frost.(426 Resisted) (1701 Overkill)
Pms's Frostbolt hits Grandmaster's Training Dummy for 1 Frost.(433 Resisted) (1732 Overkill)
Pms's Frostbolt hits Grandmaster's Training Dummy for 1 Frost.(216 Resisted) (3895 Overkill) (Critical)
