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)

@Kyrstin:
Thanks Kyrstin :)
I've noticed some negative comments here, and I guess it's because everyone looks at things a different way, but again, for me, it is one of the BEST mods that I have ever used. Very intuitive and user friendly, not only to set up, but to use.
A red square pops up and you click it. Perfect !!
Keep up the good work, Archarodim.
the best is to create your priority list, the MUFs display order depends on it...
Writing the names of the units in the MUfs is not a good idea because it would clutter the screen and if you configure your priority list and skip list, you don't need to know the name of the units since all afflicted units are important then...
Note that the dev version displays colored borders around the MUFs depending on the units class, this version is very stable, you can try it if you want:

Hi, love your mod, but i was wondering if it would be possible to see the name of the units in the MUF, instead of the tooltip?
not yet but it's easy to add
Hey.. I really like what you've done with Decursive..
I was wondering if there was a way to manually adjust the spacing between the MUFs, and if not, if it's in your list of things to do..
@Naem:
well the binding key will only work when you have a valid unit under your mouse cursor... (it will not work if the unit is you though but it will work on your unit portrait)
@djagamoone:
The border is just here to tell you what the class of the unit is...
Sorry man I dont mean to dump on you, Im sure it works great for some people. You have done a great job with what Blizzard has given you to work with ... Point is for me though, a big reason to use decursive was the simplicity of it. I don't just mean easy to use. You can say that you don't think it is complicated, but the sheer number of buttons, and colors, and borders and whirly doos .. is 100x more complicated than a key bound to macro that activates a spell. You have essentially created a mini-game for classes with a cure spell. Which is cool as hell, but it's not decursive (no offense meant by that, I admire your work.)
Anyway, I will stop bothering you about it, good luck with the project!
What do you mean?
I mean exactly what I mean...I have to spam the binded key "`" before it randomly decides to work.
Does the bind not work 100% of the time?
@Jernjane:
Decursive will never be back to its "old self" like it was before WoW 2.0, it's impossible, there is no other way.
Did you at least try Decursive 2.0 before deciding I spend hundred of hours coding something useless?
@djagamoone:
I don't see what is complicated, it's far more simple to decurse people with Decursive than without...
Thans Archarodim, i thougt Right-Click clean all ^^
I learned to cleanse manually.
Until Decursive is back to its "old self", I'll be staying off cleansing/decursing mods.
Manual ftw!!
(No, I'm not a "purist :P)
No offense, but the reason Decursive was so successful was because it was simple. Someone added priority lists to it, and that was great an all, but the more bells and whistles you throw at it, the less good the mod will be.
Im guessing all of the control clicking and what not has to do with the Blizzard UI not allowing you to have 1 button do 3 different things?
Makes sense I guess, but all these colored squares and different borders around things ... at some point it just becomes easier to click on a raid bar, and hit a button.
Seriously .. this mod could not be any more bloody simple!
I love this new version and IMO, this is how decursive should have originally been designed pre-BC.. it's not a "I can't decurse so I'll mash a single key".
It's now a "Oh, I have to use a LITTLE bit of skill to actually pay attention to my UI and what I'm clicking on."
IMO, this is better. I've seen a few people give up raiding because they can't "decurse" that well anymore and have been slammed over it. Just because they were "1 button wonders"
So that's normal, you have to CTRL-CLICK to cure poison (it's written in the bottom right corner of your screen) You can change that by changing the debuff type priority in the curing options.
