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.

I believe i found my problem...from what I've read/heard decursive (or any mod) can't target players any longer. So i guess pressing a button like the old days and having it remove the curse/poison will no longer work.
If this is inaccurate please let me know.
This is accurate, you have to use Decursive's grid to cure (no need to target) the player represented by each litle square (Micro Unit Frame)
First I'd like to say that I love the addon and appreciate you keeping it up to date, but I am having a problem with it.
In arena's I sometimes encounter situations where I need to decurse very frequently and decursive will cause my fps to come to a halt, pretty much freezing my screen for a few seconds. I have since turned down all of my settings and although the problem has improved somewhat I am still getting 1 to 2 second lockups from time to time. I'd love to get some feedback on what might be causing this and how it could possibly be fixed. Once again thanks for the addon and any help to fix this problem ;)
This is probably not Decursive that causes those lockups. Can you check with only Decursive ?
Can you tell me exactly when those lockups happen and how many persons are in your group ?
I get these little lockups too but not just on arenas. No matter where I am or what I am doing, Decursive memory usage rockets up to around 36-50mb. Once the memory usage gets to those values, I start having those little lockups. Strangely enough, it only happens on mage (priest and druid work fine with exactly the same settings). I've tried deleting wtf files and addon to a fresh start but the same problem persists. It might be that some other addon is causing this issue but, why does it only happen on mage only then? (other characters use the same addons). Sure enough, this has me quite baffled.
Can you tell me what you did exactly so I can guide others in the same situation?
The Holy fire in the maiden of virtue fight in Kara is not being picked up at all with my decursive. It works perfectly in everyother situation (bg's, arena, other raid bosses). Is there something I'm not setting up correctly?
Thanks for your help
Is the debuff picked up if you put your mouse pointer over the MUF representing the unit?
Is the unit affected by other debuffs at the same time?
Can you check if the spell Holy Fire is not in your custom debuff exception list (in the debuff filtering options)?
thanks
well it seems that you have an addon conflict... Decursive is working perfectly fine for me and I also use WoW 2.3...
What you describe makes me think that AceEvent is no longer working on your installation...
Please update ALL the add-ons that are using Ace libraries using jWoWupdater : http://code.google.com/p/jwowupdater/
I think I'll add some diagnostic check in futur versions since it seems to be a recurent problem.
Also turn on lua error display this might help to diagnose the problem.
thanks
I am having issues with decursive since the newest patch 2.3. My current version of decursive is 2.0.4 Zip engish version.
When I get into a raid or group it does not update to show everyone (all the blocks). I have to manually right click on decursive and "reset my profile", then "reset options to defults" to update to show all the blocks everytime I get into new group or raid.
I am also encountering that it does not show when someone is cursed, diseased or poisoned. I have to hover over the block in order for it to highlight to red.
I do not show an updated decurive on this website for the newest patch 2.3. Is there an update for decursive that is planned for the rest of the patch on 11/27? So should I just wait. I cannot raid with out it, decursive saves so much time.

@Grumpt:
did it only happen once?
What is your WoW client language?
Can you verify that Decursive does detect your dispel ability and that this ability is enabled in Decursive curing options?
Clicking on the correct MUF should have cast the spell even if Decursive did not lit the MUF... Clicking on a MUF will always cast the spell bound to the mouse button you used, the only reason that could prevent this to happen is that Decursive couldn't program the MUFs with your curing spells because it couldn't identify them...
A last question, did your group changed during the fight?
thanks.
I got one question; my MUFs are constantly changing places with other MUFs. I have them ordered like 6 MUFs horizontally and 5 vertically. When they move, a MUF in row 3 for example, goes to row 1. This is pretty annoying when you see those squares moving around during a bossfight. Anyone got an idea how to change this or solve this?
I really love this addon and can't raid without it :)
They move because your raid group is changing and/or your position in the group changes... If you want them to always remain in the same order, use the priority list :)
By default Decursive order them in a clever way (this is explained somewhere in the description above).
I would like to change the macro so that when i press the mapped key decursive will cancell any spell being cast and then cleanse the first party member on the priority list. For example Pally cast flash of light on the Main Tank in the Maiden of Virtue fight. A party member is debuffed with Holy Fire at the same time. I want to hit a key that cancels the FoL and immediatly casts cleanse on the afflicted party member. How do I set that up?
Decursive already cancels any spell in progress before casting... You must have your mouse over the MUF of the member you want to cleanse though (it will also work on other unit-frame representing this member).
In that case it's easier to just click on the MUF of the member...
I love Decursive but I just got one question, is their anyway to remove the minimap icon it makes?
if you right clik on this icon, there is an option to hide it. You can also install FuBar to put the icon on a bar instead of around the minimap.
