Decursive for World of Warcraft

Decursive is a cleansing mod intended to make affliction removal easy, effective and fun for all the classes having this ability.

Documentation:

NOTE: Type /DECURSIVE to open the configuration panel. Decursive's options are not directly available in the "Interface" panel due to ongoing tainting issues Blizzard is not willing to fix.

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.

Actually I just tested and you're out of luck, there is a bug specifically with Counterspell where it ignores the "Allow macro editing" option. It's because it's already listed as an example... It's fixed in the current beta, you can get it here: http://www.wowace.com/addons/decursive/files/

So sorry to take your time with pesky questions (hoping it may be helpful to others)! So I enabled macro editing in the Custom Spells panel, but not sure HOW to edit the already existing Counterspell internal macro. I DO see that I can use the "Add a custom spell" to get a blue bracketed Counterspell listed. No indication it uses a /stopcasting. So I add a "/stopcasting" in front of the entry and click okay. And it says it's already listed!

Indeed, I did manage to "prioritize" Curse first, then Charm, so the feedback in the Custom Spell panel should be correct. Turned off hide muf's and saw it's mouse bindings are set that way, so I should be good to go (tonight is my second ToT progression run and I was told I have to be able to cure the curse happening to team members on the fourth door of Horridon, hence a tad extra anxiety).

Again, thanks so much for your help!

There are actually two types of macro:

The regular macro Decursive creates as a "mouseover" macro you can use on any unit or unit portrait (you can bind it to a key). This is more a legacy feature than anything else. I don't think many people use this.
The internal macros that are called when you click on a MUF there is one such macro per spell.

This is the later you want to edit by checking the 'Allow macro editing' check box in the custom spells panel. But I do think that /StopCasting is there by default unless it's a pet's spell...

I did mean 'editing', this typo will be fixed in the next release, thanks for noticing :)

Quote from BrightBrown
Odd thing took me a bit to figure out... if you say to not show MUFs unless a condition is met, the preference options also disappear. Seems one has to turn it on, edit any options, then turn it off.

hmmm indeed, I shall change that.

Quote from BrightBrown
HOWEVER, in the Custom Spell panel, it indicates left click does Remove Curse, while right click does Counterspell. Correct?

The mouseover macro and the MUF macros are different and unrelated (I should clarify that as well in the option panels). The mouse-buttons' assignments depend on your cure priorities.

Ah, now I'm getting a much better idea of how Decursive goes about it's business (meaning I can be more effective at using your work). Lightbulb... it casts sells by calling to a "hidden" macro. Assume you mean that CD is shown in the MUF that you clicked on... better visibility for me if I set a TellMeWhen icon for the CD!

Odd thing took me a bit to figure out... if you say to not show MUFs unless a condition is met, the preference options also disappear. Seems one has to turn it on, edit any options, then turn it off.

I see 2 places to allow macro editing, one in Custom Spells, one in Macro Options (mmm, assume you mean editing, not edition)... so I assume either place will allow editing.

Yes, I see the macro that it creates... hmmm, it starts with a /stopcasting, so seems little reason for me to mess with it. Am very new to macro creation so I kinda scratch my head about your macro, but it looks like any click (on a MUF) will Remove Curse (being Priority #1), and cntl click will Counterspell, while shift click does Remove Curse (seems redundant no?).

HOWEVER, in the Custom Spell panel, it indicates left click does Remove Curse, while right click does Counterspell. Correct?

Funny, did an Oondasta fight yesterday and wouldn't you know, many blue flashing MUFs presented themselves. And thanks for putting up with multiple questions!

You don't need to have spells in your action bars for Decursive to work. Decursive displays the cool-downs directly on its MUFs when applicable. If you want to use specific commands when casting a spell, you have to use Decursive's custom spell option panel and check the 'allow macro editing' check-box before adding your spell, then you'll be able to edit the macro Decursive will be using internally when casting your spell and thus add a /StopCasting command if you want. Simply read the tool-tips in Decursive's option panels, they should explain everything you need to know on each and every settings.

In order for either Counterspell or Remove Curse to work when clicking on a unit in the MUF, does said spell have to be on one of my action bars? AND if said spell is a macro with a stopcasting line in it, will it be honored?

Says above the cleansing spell cooldown is shown, does that mean on it's icon in the action bar (i.e. does the spell need to be on them action bar for the CD to be shown?)? Or does Decursive have it's own mechanism?

Thanks! Actually, CounterSpell is configured so you can interrupt mind-controlled team members not mobs. It's linked to the 'Charmed' status.

Just got Decursive, darista's guide seriously helped!

Love that some configs are made based on one's class... good job! One thing strikes me... it was preset with CounterSpell as a custom one (FireMage am I)... and honestly, interrupts I use more than curing curses (i.e. fourth door Horridon)! I can't seem to find any information, how can this be integrated into the MUFs because those are party members, not evil targets. How does this help me to interrupt a mob?

This is caused by DBM-Interrupts which is bugged and destroys a shared library required by Decursive...

post a link with a screenshot, you can also type /DCRDIAG, the report will include a list of all your active add-ons, maybe someone else will be able to tell you which is doing that.

Decursive doesn't add such numbers... It's probably another add-on.
