Absolute Damage.

A damage meter that sticks to what it does best, and looks how you want. Pick from 100 meter styles without touching your unit frames, and get an aggro strip for every tank and boss, a threat meter, a death log, a full Combat Report and raid tiles. Reports export to CSV, Discord or text. Raid leading tools now live in Absolute Raid Management (coming soon).

What’s new in 1.4.1

Meter style dressing room: opening Meter style shows every style as a small live meter, 12 to a page, so you can see them all before you pick. Click one to use it.
Addon list opens the settings: left-click Absolute Damage in the addon list by the minimap to open its settings (right-click shows or hides the meter).
From 1.4.0, 100 meter styles: pick one under Settings > Skin > Meter style, from the meter's menu, with /ad style, or on Absolute View's new DAMAGE tab with a live preview. Each style sets the bar shape, fill colour, window colours, icon shape, text layout and frame, separately from your unit frames.
Raid tools moved out: the raid log, attendance, personal bests and Raid Check are moving to a new addon, Absolute Raid Management (coming soon), with loot bidding, soft reserves and DKP. A raid log you already recorded stays in your saved settings so Raid Management can bring it over.
From 1.3.15, reset button under Absolute Combos: DMG METER RESET sits just under a docked Combos row, so it no longer covers your target's name.
From 1.3.14, raid tiles stack on the left: thin tiles that match the meter, group 1 at the bottom, moved or sized together.
