Skada
Skada is a free, modular damage meter for World of Warcraft that lets players inspect combat data across saved fight segments. Its Bar, Inline, and Data Text windows can display different levels of detail, and users can open multiple windows and customize them. The Midnight edition supports WoW 12.0 and later and uses Blizzard’s session-based combat systems; a classic version is available for older releases. Listed game flavors include Retail, Mists of Pandaria Classic, and Classic. The Midnight edition also includes UI presets, animated visual elements, and a theme engine for importing and exporting themes. Data Text works with LDB display addons including Titan Panel, ChocolateBar, and ElvUI. Third-party plugins add displays and metrics such as graphs, tank performance, and friendly-fire damage, and the project API lets developers create more plugins. Skada aims to use memory and CPU efficiently. It is listed under the MIT license and is available at no cost for World of Warcraft.
