About Skada Damage Meter

Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes. It is inspired mainly by Assessment, but also by Recount.

Skada sports segmented fights and detailed views, while being highly efficient with memory. This is accomplished by aggregating data on fight segments.

Skada is entirely modular; the modes listed below are all separate addons. Only the modes you load adds to the memory and CPU cycles used.

Features:

  • Automatic mode switching when entering combat. For example, you can have Threat mode be shown in combat. Skada can switch back after combat ends.
  • Specific fight segments can be kept indefinately.
  • Multiple windows. Each window can be configured fully.
  • Threat mode can warn on high threat.
  • Modes: Damage done, DPS, Threat, Enemy damage done, Enemy damage taken, Healing, Overhealing, Total healing, Absorbs estimated, Damage taken, Dispels, Mana regen, Debuff uptimes, and more.
  • Reports can be done everywhere. For example, you can report a certain player's Debuff uptimes.
  • Summary information for most modes (DPS, HPS, Fails, etc) in a LDB view/minimap button.
  • LDB data feed can show personal/raid DPS or personal threat.
  • Support for SharedMedia and Class Colors.

Skada is very easy to extend, and there are many "plug-in" addons out there that add functionality, such as:

There is a page with API information here.

Usage:

Navigation in Skada is done by "drilling down" to the information you want. You go to a lower level, showing more detailed information, by clicking on it, and you go to a higher level by right-clicking.

The top level is the list of all saved fight segments. The second level is the list of all available data modes, such as Damage Done. The third level is one of these modes. Most modes let you drill down for further details. Some modes have several detailed 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.

New Skada windows can be created from the configuration screen. Each window can be separately configured. A popular feature is "Mode switching", which lets Skada automatically switch to a specific mode on entering combat.

There is a forum thread for discussion on Skada. All suggestions and bug reports are very welcome.

"Skada" is Swedish for "Damage".

    Why dosent skada have the old interface anymore?, Was it to similar to recount?, now i only have one button to open options..

    Trying to get used to the new one, it takes alot more getting used to, but i am Really missing the ability to swich encounters, right not it appears you can only look at the last fight or overall data.

    I do not know what you mean by "old interface". The appearance has not changed in a long while, and you can easily configure it to look like it did in 2009 if you want to. If you only have one button then you have disabled the others.

    If you only have "Current" and "Total" fight segments to look at, then it means you must be using the "save only boss segments" option.

    About a week ago this stopped working along with recount, and I have no idea why. Cleared my addon folder/cache/and wtf, but no change. They both show up but record nothing. I downloaded tinydps and that works, but it doesn't do a fraction of the things Skada does. I use ElvUI for my major ui changes. Any suggestions?

    I think there is a folder that saves some options, but i dont know which, because I once deleted an addon, and when I reinstalled it, it had the same options. Can't tell you the folder though.

    By the way: Recount's Healing display doesn't work at all for me. (tried it recently)

    I am trying to test the effects of haste, mastery and crit on corruption ticks with my warlock on Beta.

    I am noticing i only get information on the first 3 ticks even though it ticks 10 times. is there a way to adjust this?

    Is there a way to disable the "class icons" on the lefthand side of the meters from this latest update? I try to keep my UI as minimalistic as I can and I find these superfluous.

    Auto hide does not work in PvP, terribly annoying, kindly remove in subsequent versions. Tested on a problem the client is absolutely clean, with no add-ons except Skada 3 PCs, the problem remains.

    When i place and lock skada, then log out, skada moves itself ipwards a good portion when i log back in, on all characters. Does it automatically move out from underneath things? I have all the default elements hidden, but it looks like skada is trying to avoid being under the defrault blizz action bar.

    Pandaria Update

    Do you think skada will be updated for wow 5.0? Actually recount has been updated .. is there some internal build to test? I saw a raid streaming yesterday with a working skada version...

    Current fight no longer shows anything with the latest update. Just a blank window. No LUA errors.

    I just compared Skada and Recount with each other I realized something strange.

    The overall damage done was slightly different from recount. As I compared the value with the combat log I saw, that Skada sometimes misses the first autohit when I don't use an ability.

    Can somebody confirm this?
