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.

Decursive is dedicated to the memory of Bertrand Sense known as Glorfindal on the European server Les Sentinelles. He was the raid leader of my guild (Horizon)

Posted Apr 21, 2026In reply to anonnomnomness: I'm not sure that it will be possible, everything depends on Blizzard APIs now Decursive, or any other add-on, no longer can test directly the nature of a debuff we have to use an API that tells if you can remove that debuff or not using cleansing spells...
Blizzard said they would improve this in the comming patches so there might be some hope.

Posted Apr 10, 2026In reply to picklehorse1978: hmm probably because Blizzard does not think you can dispel those debuffs so it's not "forwarding" them to Decusive... Do you know if the debuffs show in Blizzard's stock UI when you use the curable-debuff-only mode?

Unlikely, Since Midnight, Decursive is forced to rely on Blizzard reported dispelable debuffs so if Blizzard mistakenly says there are none we're stuck... You should be able to confirm the issue if Blizzard frames (when set to displellable debuffs only) are not reporting the debuffs either.

Unfortunately, Decursive now relies on Blizzard API that is supposed to return dispelable debuffs so if Blizzard API is not working, Decursive won't either...

try to play with the options to change it's size in /decursive. This can happen if you change your screen resolution or UI scale.
