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)

dear Archarodim:
thanks your reply. I use Chinese Simple langauge and have seen the localization for Chinese triditional in the zip.files. But it's different. BTW, I do not know how to show you the spell book of chinese here.
@anormen:
What is your client langauge? It means the spell names have changed. Give your decurse spell names please (as they appear in your spell book).
@Meia:
This has been fixed in 1.9.8.3 if you are already using 1.9.8.3, then open the options of decursive and uncheck/recheck what you want to dispell, you should see green numbers near the checkboxes.
@cruumash:
Ok, I'll take a look.
I haven't been able to get this to work lately either as a priest. I hit the button, it targets the afflicted person, then gives a "nothing to dispel" message. In other words, it's completely useless atm. :(
I am priest. After the 1.12 patch, I found can not use decursive anymore. Everytime i press the bounding key or the macro, it display "no curative spell found". In the cure panel, I also can not check magic and disease and others, i do not know why.
I am a Shaman. Why is it that in the last few versions that I can't dispel magic (ie Mind Control)? I can't even select magic in the options screen. My available choices are Poison and Disease. Magic and Curse are non-checkable. I have to re-install the older version to be able to use decursive to purge the mind control. Any ideas?
Update - Testing version 1.9.8.3 - Somehow I thought this was the version with the problem, but it was 1.9.8.2.. I'll let you know if this one is an issue. =P
Another Update - Works great!
I think the DCR_SKIP_BY_CLASS_LIST could use some extra items. Specifically I noticed the Druids on our last raid decursing Curse of Tongues from the warrior. This seems useless. I'd suggest adding Curse of Tongues the the DCR_CLASS_WARRIOR and DCR_CLASS_ROGUE (and maybe DCR_CLASS_HUNTER but I don't have one to test the effects) structures.
@Gryphton:
Not yet... maybe one day...
Though I really like this mod, is it possible to change the scale of it? Smaller-Larger.
Hmm..it seems using the macro doesnt make me lose my target. :D
@zeman:
you can already bind a key and use a macro (rtfm)
Yoiu shouldn't lose your target, what is your class?
Can you make it where I dont lose my target when I use decurive to remove debuffs? Also if you could make it where you can make a macro like /decursive that uses decursive so you can make a macro where you can put it on a action bar and assign it a key binding so you could for example press "1" every time you wanted to use decurive.
@guest10:
OK, 1.9.8.3 is released and works as you wanted.

@Mashonawen:
Unfortunately, it'simpossible, Blizzarrd forbids to test the distance of a unit... I can only know that it is at range of cleansing spells or beyound so 31 yards or 400 yards is the same for Decursive...
@Sumomo:
Decursive suppots warlock' Fellhunter and DoomGuard.
@guest10:
In fact when you start to cast an non-instant spell, there is a global cooldown of about 2 seconds, if you cancel the cast, this ooldown is also canceled but the client needs to know from the server that the spell has been canceled to reset the cooldown so, instead of the 2 seconds cooldown you have a 0.5s cooldown (that depends of your lag).
I'll see if it's possible but I need to make additional modifications if I move the cooldown test before casting. Anyway Decursive is very optimized compared to CT_raid that divides your frame rate by at least 2...
Spells do not need to be cancelled during cooldowns. When global cooldowns have expired, with one key press you can SpellStopCasting() and begin casting a spell (such as a cure) instantly, hence there is no need to cancel any spells during cooldowns since you cannot begin a spell anyway.
I've not looked at it from a UI performance point of view because I glad to say decursive code is pretty efficient (and intelligent too) and I've not faced any UI performance issues while spamming it. Meanwhile, while casting a 2sec or 3sec spell, you're standing still and not doing anything else but waiting for the spell to finish, sadly greater UI performance does not make the casting time shorter neither does spamming decursive make it longer. How long does decursive take to scan a raid of 40 people? I'm glad to say it's faster then you can spam a key.
Spamming decursive is a style of play I'm sure a number of people can relate to, while the "spam decursive" phrase is probably not an uncommon occurrence in raids too. Spamming decursive in anticipation of an incoming debuff is perhaps to cut down on reaction time. It would cause it to check for curable debuffs during each keypress and could deal with it instantly the split second it appeared without the delay of reaction time. Have you had a heal land the split second the MT took a massive blow? Do you always and only start heals in reaction to damage taken? Or do you occasionally have to start heals in anticipation of the expected incoming damage?
I would like to request you consider implementing my previous suggestion and pass it to friends or guild members doing NAX as alpha testers and gather their feedback to see if they can feel the difference in their raid performance. I have and I glad to say the feedback has been encouragingly positive and our raid performance and survivability has certainly improved.
For your continued consideration. BB-IC
i've got a question:
before i download and try this mod, i'd like to know if it works with my warlocks felhunter too? like i can set devour priority etc?
Is it possible to filter by range? For example, I'd rather not see prompts for cures from people who are on the other side of Alterac Valley. Thanks.
@guest10:
yes but Decursive will not cast if there is a cooldown so it will never get there and won't cancel the spell until the cooldown is gone, each time you push your key, Decursive must scan the whole raid. This would degrade performances.
If you have the live-list displayed, you can see and hear when there are debuffs to cure so you don't need to spam your key like a programmable keyboard...
@Mestar:
Well it's very specific and is a part of the game, Decursive is not meant to replace player brains :/
@Powske:
Well this is to show you that someone needs to be debuffed, read the readme.txt file to know how to disable it.
