About SkadaHealAbsorbs

Adds a new module to Skada that tracks absorbs (Power Word: Shield, Divine Aegis, etc).

While Skada comes with a basic absorb tracker, its a bit lacking. It doesn't offer enough information, and it requires you to switch back and forth between the absorb module and the healing module to fully evaluate the healing done.

This module displays absorbs and heals in the same window. It tracks all heals/absorbs on a spell and player basis, and it calculates total healing done, percentage of total healing, and heals per second.

Since the last release build is nonfunctional, pushing the latest alpha out to release.

    Yeah, it looks like the author rolled the absorbs module into the healing module.  Problem is, I was using the healing module's numbers to calculate my heals+absorbs.

    Either the old code for calculating healing needs to be rolled into this addon, or a modification needs to be made to pull only the healing data rather than heal+absorb data from the default healing addon.

  • #38

    The base skada healing meters now include absorbs. They are fairly consistent with e.g. WoL parses.

  • #37

    Hey is there a bug by skada Heal and absorb they the double absorbe then world of logs O.o i was wondering but is see the same on the paladin

  • #36

    after skada was updated to include absorbs, i compared numbers after a fight and the meters are not close! 

    which is more accurate, and what value does skadahealingabsorbs add now? 

  • #35

    Unfortunately, I was unable to make any changes after gaining project admin access; I'll be taking a look over the next few weeks into any bugs.

  • #34

    I don't know who updated this, but my god, THANK YOU!  I can finally use this without errors...

  • #32

    Small update: As I've said before, I'm no longer updating this addon, as I no longer have a WoW subscription to test on.  I've granted a request for project admin access to @Vonkly, and it looks like he's putting up alpha builds at the moment to fix some minor issues.  I'm happy to grant access to anybody else who is interested in keeping it going.

    @Zakaluka15 Honestly when 4.0.1 came out I was very pressed for time, and I chose not to update the addon to handle the new combat log data.  I had put in thousands of hours of testing as a healing lead, and the numbers as-is seemed accurate.  That said, it is preferable to use all the information given to produce the most accurate results, and I hope the new author gets around to updating it.

    @ntzolev Honestly, even though I played a shaman as a main, it never occurred to me to even try tracking that glyph.  I don't think anybody seriously considered Stoneclaw glyph as a viable raiding glyph, when there were so many more effective options.  I admit there have always been a few cases where it may have been helpful to drop it, but the amount healed would be so small in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't affect the healing meters.  It looks like it would be fairly easy to add it in, so there's some hope for it down the road.

    @DrakeWurrum Since the addon hasn't been effectively worked on in a year, I have no doubt that it is lagging behind in recent addon api changes.  That said, a few minutes of research leads me to believe its most likely Skada itself that's causing most of the FPS lag spike problems, judging from what people are saying.  *shrug*

  • #33

    The project is actually "public" so anybody can update it, which is what I did back in Dec to fix a couple of issues with absorbs.

  • #31

    Is there anything special about the glyphed Stoneclaw totem? Because this addon doesn't show absorbs from it. Or any other addon, for that matter.

    Can someone either let me know how I can fix this myself, or direct me to an update?  Thank you

    This particular mod causes Skada to lag even worse than Recount does, so I guess this mod hasn't been updated for new stuff in recent patches. Would very much like to see it updated so I can get a meter tracking my priest's absorbs properly!

  • #28

    I have been on the search for a meter that comes with a reliable eHPS readout. Basically I want my meter to calculate eHPS the same way WoL does. Yes, I know there will be variance and this is unavoidable, but currently there are quite drastic differences in both recount and skada.

    - Vanilla skada still seems to absolutely botch absorbs. I've heard rumors that it still guesses? This makes the 'healing done' value completely unusable for any class with absorbs. Affects pala somewhat but really hits disc hard.

    - Recount gets healing done correct, but bases its eHPS on activity time rather than duration of combat. That's not eHPS at all. They even rebuff this common request in their FAQ by claiming HPS is recount is in fact eHPS, which discourages me from making this post over on wowace.

    So I can choose skada that gets eHPS correct and absorbs completely wrong, or I can choose recount to see an accurate healing done figure but completely skewed HPS.

    Does this module for skada use absorb values from the combat log rather than guessing?

    Please note that the combat log event params have changed in 4.3 for the _MISSED spell suffix

    from: missType, amountMissed

    to: missType, isOffHand, amountMissed

  • #26

    I would be interested in continuing development for this. Contact me on Curse.

  • #24
    I've stopped playing wow for the time being, and I have no intention of maintaining this addon. If anybody would like to take up the reins, let me know.
