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)

Playing around with the UI and some Macros, I may have an idea to "fix" decursive. 1st you need a decurse macro like: cast [target=mouseover, exists, help] Abolish poison; What it does is cure the target the mouse hovers over, if necessary. I tried this with CTRA, Blizzard Party and Blizzard Raid UI and it's working fine. In theory this would be the first big step to be able to use the list decursive shows to actually decurse. On the downside you need to place this macro on a button or in your actionbar as you need to trigger it without using the mouse. Hope I could help :-)
I signed upto this forum just to say one thing:
12 million people are dying for you to make this mod work as it did before the patch, if you need help ask the community, but please we beg you from the bottom of our hearts, we need this mod, every guild needs it, its the number 1 mod on the planet and every guild in every country uses it.
You should be getting paid for this stuff, you made an amazing mod man, I love ya.

Just would like to ditto "bellleboom"'s comments. Mods should be able to give a list of people that you can click to target (otherwise mods like sRaidFrames, CTRA, Pearl, ag UnitFrames, etc wouldn't be able to work.
It would be nice to click on live list, press cleanse, click on live list, press cleanse, etc.
Really appreciate your continued work on this very useful mod. My guild is still using it as it's the only way to tell if anyone has been cursed.
If it's possible to make clicking on the Live List select the person, that would go a loooong way toward making these new changes bearable.
Would it be possible to have teh name and group # the cursed player is in? This would at least make the search for the cursed player much quicker.
Clicking to target will not work either.
Will clicking on the Live-List select the target or is that cut too?
n/m last comment, just read the change log (and I don't know how to delete comment on the new curse site :P)
here is pre pre pre version of Decursive 2.0, for now, only the live-list display is working but you cannot de-urse people, it only shows you who needs to be de-cursed:

Yeah big thanks... You mad many of the big things possible ^^ so looking forward to track you upcoming work
I appreciate the fact that you are going to try to continue Decursive and let me just take this opportunity to thank you for a great mod and all the work you've done so far. Personally I think Blizzard shouldn't take away this functionality but sadly, they don't agree. For myself, my guild, and everyone I've ever decursed, tahnks again.
ok, I'm trying to get in the PTR for regular 2.0 but I cannot copy my character (too many people) so I can't test Decursive right now :/
Unfortunately the API changes will be included in this 2.0 patch so Decursive won't work anymore like it used to. I'll try to do something to maintain it in a useful state though.
@chillinvillain:
Like ZombiePope said, add-ons are not third-party programs, you can't be banned for using a regular add-on like Decursive.
... and I'm already VERY angry with Blizzard for that I mean, changing some rules to add some spice if fine, but all seems more oriented to nerf farming bot, and they didn't care about regular players.
They have built instances like Naxx WITH mods like decursive in mind, as it's about impossible to manually decurse and depoision a 40 man raid every 20 seconds. We'll see, but thanks to the ant-brain of Blizzard developers, now we have to bear with changes that will make easy bosses hard like hell.
Anyway, a simple live *intelligent* list with ppl cursed / poisoned would be already a great help. Intelligent 'cuz I'd like to be able to avoid to dispell stuff from ppl that doesn't need (e.g. mana eating curse on warriors).
If (if) clicking on the frame could throw the right spell would be perfect.
Could you please work on that ? Atm decursive in BC deosn't even shows the live list...
Cheers, Arz
Thx ZombiePope for your answer, but I already knew, through official forums, that such auto-cleansing mods like Decursive would no longer work, at least with BC, and perhaps from next patch on.
My question was purely technical, as version 1.9.8.4 was described as "BC and Lua 5.1.1" compatible, and is seen as "incompatible" on the PTR (not BC closed beta one), that is patch 2.0.X.
My purpose was precisely to see whether Decursive would still work before BC, or if we had to prepare for manual decurse as soon as patch 2.0, that is probably early December. Not being able to launch the add-on prevents me from answering this question.
I'm not Arch but I'm passing through and I'll reply to stuff I know the answers to. :)
@chillinvillain:
Decursive is a LUA UI addon, not a "3rd party program". You don't seem to understand the difference. I recommend asking in the official WoW forums, or reading the stickies there. In any case, this is one of the most popular addons in all of WoW. Most raiding priests, mages, paladins, druids, and shamans use it or something like it. Many warlocks use it too. No one gets banned for using Decursive.
@Gnomuz:
Decursive will not work on the PTR, nor will it work in the upcoming patch, nor will it ever work again. No mod like Decursive will ever work again, at least not in combat. Mods will no longer be able to intelligently select spells, ranks, or targets in combat. "Automated" cleansing mods are dead forever. The best bet for people who want to dispel efficiently is to get a click-casting mod and a set of unit frames that displays debuffs and out-of-range status effectively. For more details, see this:

Arch, friend said DeC was cited as the 3rd party program he was insta-banned for. Can you answer here (and if possible, send me a note) about if this [program] could possibly be construed as a EULA violation?
I tried to use Decursive 1.9.8.4 on European PTR, but the add-on is detected as "incompatible" (in french in the text ^^) in the add-on management interface when I check "Launch outdated add-ons". Otherwise, it's detected as outdated as usual.
Did I do something wrong, or is it a known issue ?
BTW thx again for this great add-on and your efforts
@Bruthos:
It's already done... you can revert the live-list and then place it at the very bottom of your screen and hide the "Decursive" bar, the same behavior is available for the messages displayed when decursing.
@ddx:
I can't test shamans, they work differently than other classes, is there an error message displayed?
Archarodim please see your installer thread and my PM... the addon doesn't work with more than 21 addons. Or more than 21 folders... I dunno
