Description

What is Skada Damage Meter?

Skada Damage Meter is a lightweight, modular combat meter that tracks damage, healing, threat, absorbs, and interrupts using a segmented window system with minimal performance impact.

Categorized under Combat, and Boss Encounters, this addon is a must-have for players seeking to improve their World of Warcraft experience on private servers.

Key Features

Modular mode system with selectable displays for damage, healing, threat, and more
Segment-based tracking separating data by individual boss fights and trash pulls
Dual-window support showing two different metrics simultaneously
Threat mode providing real-time threat values without a separate threat addon
Absorb tracking for discipline priests and other shield-based healing
Interrupt and dispel tracking for utility performance analysis
Minimal memory and CPU footprint through efficient data collection
Tooltip breakdowns showing per-ability percentages on mouse hover

Why Skada Damage Meter is Essential

Skada emerged as the performance-conscious alternative to Recount, using significantly less memory and CPU while providing comparable data. Its modular approach means you can track threat alongside damage in a single addon rather than running two separate ones. For players on older hardware or those who want every frame of performance, Skada is the optimal choice.

Supported Expansions

Skada Damage Meter is available for Dragonflight, BFA, MoP, WoD, Shadowlands, WotLK, Cataclysm, and Legion. Whether you play on a Classic private server or a modern expansion realm, this addon enhances your gameplay across all supported versions.

How to Install Skada Damage Meter

Install Skada to your AddOns directory. Type /skada to configure. Click the title bar to switch between modes. Right-click for segment selection and window management options.

Installing Skada Damage Meter on a private server

Skada Damage Meter is made by zarnivoop. DivineTop hosts copies built for older game clients so they work on private servers.

Which version do you need?

Private servers run older game clients, and an addon only loads properly on the client it was built for. Pick the download that matches your server's client. To check an addon you already have, open its .toc file: the ## Interface: line should match the number below.

Client	Patch	Interface	More addons
Wrath of the Lich King	3.3.5a	`30300`	WotLK addons
Cataclysm	4.3.4	`40300`	Cataclysm addons
Mists of Pandaria	5.4.8	`50400`	MoP addons
Warlords of Draenor	6.2.4	`60200`	WoD addons
Legion	7.3.5	`70300`	Legion addons
Battle for Azeroth	8.3	`80300`	BfA addons
Shadowlands	9.2.7	`90207`	Shadowlands addons
Dragonflight	10.2.7	`100207`	Dragonflight addons

Install steps

Download the Skada Damage Meter build for your client from the Downloads panel above.
Extract the zip into Interface/AddOns inside your World of Warcraft folder. Create the AddOns folder if it doesn't exist yet.
Check the folder name matches the .toc file inside it, for example AddOns/SkadaDamageMeter/SkadaDamageMeter.toc. Downloads from GitHub often add -master or -main to the folder name, which stops the addon from loading.
Start the game and click AddOns on the character screen. Enable Skada Damage Meter, and tick Load out of date AddOns if it shows as out of date.

Lua errors right after installing almost always mean the build doesn't match your client. Delete the folder and download the version for your patch.
