Decursive key benefits
Ease of use:
- Decursive supports all classes with cleansing abilities and configures itself automatically, it works straight out of the box, no configuration is required.
- Intuitive interface and detailed options, Decursive is suitable for simple usage and power users.
Control what and who you want to dispel:
- Easily Filter out afflictions you don't want to cure or that are useless to remove by class (some are pre-configured). (Such as afflictions affecting mana on non-mana classes, etc...).
- Choose between what you can dispel (magic, curses, poison, diseases, charms) choosing their priority. (this allows you to share the cleansing work with other players effectively)
- Prioritize or exclude members. (keep players, classes, or raid groups in a specific order to cleanse them in order of importance)
Manage Mind controlled units:
- If you are a Mage, a Druid or a Shaman you can Polymorph/Cyclone/Hex mind-controlled players.
- In any case Decursive will allow you to target mind controlled units easily.
- Decursive supports magic charming affect removal for Shamans (Purge and Hex), Priests (Dispel Magic), Hunters (Tranquilizing Shot), and Warlocks (Fellhunter and Doomguards spells).
Don't waste time:
- Your cleansing spell Cooldown is displayed to maximize your dispel speed.
- An automatic blacklist will prevent you from loosing time on players who can't be dispelled. (player 'out of line of sight' for example).
- Decursive choose a logical cleansing order depending on your current position in the raid. (preventing dispel concurrence between players and thus 'nothing to dispel' messages)
React faster:
- Visual and/or auditive alerts when someone needs your attention and can be dispelled.
- Special sound alert when Unstable Affliction is detected and you're about to dispel it.
- Visual and auditive alert when your dispel attempts are resisted or fail.
Integration in any interface:
- Decursive is designed to save screen real estate and to be forgotten when not needed.
- Many options allow you to customize Decursive appearance and interface behavior.
- All Decursive alert colors can be modified making it suitable for color-blind people.
Highly optimized and effective coding:
- Decursive was developed with memory and CPU usage in mind, installing Decursive won't affect your frame rate even in the worst battle conditions.
- Bug free: bugs are not tolerated in Decursive.
In brief, what you get with Decursive is effectiveness, a player using Decursive will always dispel faster than other players.

Posted Sep 15, 2026Hello and thank you for updating the addon.
Poisons do not seem to alert at all, for resto shaman at least, with poison cleansing totem. Best example of this is the poison at the very beginning of Murder Row, called Heartstop Poison (spellid: 1216590 or 1216589, not sure which is used). I'm using the MUFs and there is no visual and no sound cue for the poison being applied whatsoever.
In Curing Options section, I have all types checked, with disease, charm, and bleed being checked but greyed out.
This can be easily tested by queueing into a follower dungeon for Murder Row and pulling the Street Sneak mobs which apply the poison to your tank.

Posted Sep 13, 2026Hi there, I've used this great addon for as long as I can remember, but it still won't alert me when I play my hunter if I've been poisoned or diseased (which I can self-dispel with Feign Death). The functionality to add this albeit unusual dispel worked in Zhaou's version great, so I know that alerting a hunter of an affliction is possible in-game! Could I request a look into this please?

Posted Sep 9, 2026In reply to mixMugz:
That's because each spell need to be registered. So there is just a subset of spells corresponding to the current dungeons of the seasons that are registered... I'm working on an interface so that other debuffs can be manually added or auto-discovered when in the open world but until Blizzard provies an API to register the sounds for whole types of debuffs it will be like this,
