Skada works in WoW Forever. Its GitHub repository has a Skada_Forever.toc with Forever's interface number, 16001, and new releases are coming out almost daily: 2.6.2 on 10 November fixed bar colours and a reset problem after joining a group. We checked on 10 November.

What it does

Skada is a damage and healing meter with simple bars. It shows who did how much in the last fight or across a whole dungeon, plus healing, damage taken, deaths and interrupts if you add those modes.

Setting it up

  1. Install it from CurseForge or Wago. See how to install add-ons.
  2. Type /skada for the window and its options.
  3. Pick the modes you want in the window menu, damage done and healing for a start.

Recent versions can also post a fight summary to party, raid or guild chat instead of the window, if you like sharing numbers after a pull.

Skada or Details

  • Skada is lighter and quicker to set up. Good if you want one small window.
  • Details! Damage Meter shows much more, including graphs and per-spell breakdowns, and has more skins. Our Details setup guide covers it.

Running both just shows you the same numbers twice. Pick one. Damage meters in Forever compares all of them, and Skada's add-on page shows our latest check.
