Skada: a damage meter

[Zarnivoop]

What is it?

Skada is a light-weight damage meter with various viewing modes. It is built in a modular fashion, so you can disable those modes you are not interested in; this includes their data collection.

Skada is inspired by Assessment's navigate-by-clicking user interface.

Any cool features?

A few highlights are multiple windows, automatic switching between viewing modes when you enter combat, high configurability, modular modes and display systems, and low memory usage.

What's planned?

My current to-do/ideas list is as follows:

* Option to separate pet and owner.
* Option to always show self.
* Show blocked/resisted for damage mode spell details (in tooltip?).
* Buffs uptime mode.
* A "Total" bar.
* Show absorb/resists on damage taken details.

The stable (boring) version of Skada is on Curse, and the development (fun) version is here on wowace.

Please post any feedback here.

Is it possible to show overhealing in the healing mode like it was possible with assessment (If I recall corectly)

Really like how the UI works but this thing is totally killing my FPS in 25 man raids (Recount runs just fine).

I tested on 10-man and had no problems with fps. Will try on 25-man later.

Btw, I liked what I saw so far. It's kinda odd to navigate throughout the sessions and the report thing is kinda hidden, but no big deal.

I have serious FPS issues with this too when running all modules. Using just DPS module seems fine however.

This would be very nice. I've yet to find a meter other than Assessment that does this.

Using the Damage/Healing and Dispells modules, i'm not experiencing any shortage in FPS at all. And this thing uses barely a MB after 2 wings of naxx, that's a really nice thing. Only thing missing is an option to only record data while in a raid/party and not while soloing, similar to Recount.

I love it!!!!

One thing that is critical when analyzing rotations is a count/% for each ability in the damage breakdown view (not only how much damage each ability does). I hope you can add that as an optional textblock on each bar.

Also, when testing last night and setting it to show damage from the last fight it seemed to be stuck on the same fight. True, I was grinding slimes in EPL so all mobs were the same, but the DPS shown in the broker feed changed each fight but the dps shown on the bar after the fight was the same. I had it set up to show threat during fights and then toggle back to the last view (great feature!!)

but the DPS shown in the broker feed

There's a LDB text display? I only have an icon that I can click. Would love to get my own dps to display in the LDB while the window or mouse-over tooltip shows details.

There is. I have only tested it with DockingStation though, and just assumed it worked with others. I will try a few more LDB display addons.
