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.

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.

Posted Aug 18, 2026When I downloaded 2.8.2-2g4a1865f for retail, I installed the addon with excitement as I use this on every healer I have. When I loaded the addon for wow retail, I noticed that in the addons menu, it didnt detect Decursive as out of date and looks like it loaded just fine, but no Decursive was visible, looking over the lua I noticed a couple things.. Below are the changes I made.
The Issue
The developer included testing code that automatically disables the addon on WoW 12.1. looks like they were still developing 12.1 support and left temporary flags in place.
After making the changes below, Decursive was working!! let me know if you want a copy..

Posted Aug 17, 2026Archarodim, you are freaking amazing. If i had money i'd give so much of it to you. Literally have been using your addon since like BFA. Please if there is anyway you can use your superior knowledge to fix this. I'll forever be in your debt. It seems like WOW is doing this crap on purpose to use their shit in game addons. I refuse, they should've had in game addons to be gin with not start now after of having years with yours. Thanks <3
