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 Feb 15, 2026Was really hopeful that the new RAID_PLAYER_DISPELLABLE Aura API would make Decursive possible again. Is there hope?

Posted Feb 2, 2026@archarodim, do you have a patreon or Paypal to donate. Decursive is one of the few addons that i would like for Midnight. I appreciate you hard work to get the addon working for us.

I have a paypal, it's linked on this page (search for "donate") but as I said previously, there is no guarantee I can make a useful or usable version for Midnight... I don't want you to give me anything until there is a clear path for that.

Posted Feb 1, 2026I was able to get it to work for Midnight (for now) but it is not recognizing that BugSack & BugGrabber are installed so it tries to show errors. Obviously there are a lot of errors right now and I don't need to see them in the chat frame at all. I commented the print(L.BUGGRABBER_STOPPED) out of BugGrabber but since Decursive can't see those 2 addons I also had to comment out those lines from this addon. I hope you are able to update that detection or just give us an option not to do error handling/printing if we don't want it.

Posted Feb 12, 2026In reply to archarodim: No, just a toc updated version of the last stable. Either way, there should be a way to tell the addon to not print errors in chat so I commented out the lines.

Posted Jan 30, 2026Im having an issue in WoW tbc dreamscythe the populate list does the opposite of what it is supposed to. For example if you select warriors, it removes all warriors from ur MuF frames, if u select priests - removed.. so if u select all classes all ur MuF's are gone. Selecting tanks, healers doesnt move them up to the top..

Are you sure your not actually using the "Skip list" (the ui is the same, just the title of the window changes). If I remember correctly, the shortcut to open the Priority list is ctrl+click on the MUFs handle.
