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.

Documentation:

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.

Because Mass Dispel is not single-target removal, I understand that it can't be bound to a key the way Dispel Magic can. But we (Shadowpriests) still need to know when multiple magic effects are on our party/raid so that we can intelligently use Mass Dispel. Could the Dispel Magic on others option be replaced with a warning to "Use Mass Dispel" instead, so that we can still see when magic debuffs are in play? Or any other option to still show these debuffs on others?

I came here because of the same issue. I'd just like to be able to see if there is something on a group member that can be dispelled by Mass Dispell, and whether or not I missed after I cast it.

I've been using Decursive forever to manage my dispelling, and I'd like to continue to use it. I know you have said it is "perfectly normal if you're a shadow priest", but what you are really saying is this addon is not really for shadow priests anymore. I don't really need an addon to tell me when I need to dispel something on myself and myself alone.

Can we get a mode that will show when group members are affected by a debuff I can do something about?

Blizzard does not allow add-ons that make decisions for the player, ie; taking information presented and deciding which spell to cast when there are multiple options, such as the scenario you are describing. This is what it really boils down to, not whether or not it CAN be done.

It is not ridiculous, though maybe a little heated. Some time ago, Blizzard decided it did not want addons to do the equivalent of clicking a button for you. Prior to that, Decursive did what you want and more. You simply clicked the button for it and it would even find someone to cure, dispell, etc. for you. Now, you have to actually click a button to cast a spell. Because what you're looking for requires 2 different spells, Blizzard requires that you click a button again, even if it is only the opposite mouse button on the same location on the screen. It is the same as someone watching over your shoulder and saying, "Hey, you cast the wrong spell to cure that guy!" He can tell you but he can't reach over your shoulder and push the right one for you. (Well, maybe he could, but it would probably cause more trouble than it was worth ;) ) It is a Blizzard imposed restriction that prevents mods that automate game play - taken to the extreme, an "I win" button.

I'd really love it if the addon were a bit "smarter" in terms of casting appropriate spells. What I mean by this is: If Right click does X, and Left click does Y... I need to do X, but I left click, and Y is not appropriate but X is... why does the addon know to tell me to right click instead, and then TELL ME to do so... when it could just do X?

In other words, why tell me to use a different button, when the addon is already recognizing I'm hitting the wrong button? Why can't it just DO what it seems to already know I want done?

A perfect example of this is on a priest. Left click is for Cure Disease. Right click is for Dispel Magic. Someone gets frost fever, and I right click instead of left click. The addon yells at me "Wrong mouse button!" and "Use "Left-Click" to cure this affliction!"... with exclamation points even.

If the addon knows the target has a disease, knows I could cure it with Cure Disease, knows that cure disease is the left mouse button... knows I clicked the right mouse button when there is no magic effect to dispel with Dispel Magic... why wouldn't it just cast the fricking Cure Disease, instead of yelling at me that I'm a noob for clicking the wrong button? The addon is smart enough to know I clicked the wrong button... why isn't it smart enough to just do what it KNOWS I'm trying to tell it to do?

So you want it to play the game for you?

Why aren't YOU smart enough to realize the most blatantly obvious reasons why it can't do that for you?

I can tell you haven't thought this out too much. Do you realize the implications of allowing an addon to do things for you? Based on what you're asking for you could create an addon that you just left click a button and it does entire rotations for you (which used to exist for Paladins before Blizzard cracked down on addons playing the game for people).

So no, addons being able to take 1 input, think, and then do something else is WAY against what addons were designed to do.

What a ridiculous thing to say... and very good job of strawmanning my argument. Where, exactly, did I even IMPLY that I wanted to have an "I win" button?

Let's look at it this way: Druids have a single spell that removes poisons, curses, and a magic effect if tallented in to it.
1 button catches them all.
Priests can remove magic and diseases, but there are 2 different spells to do it. The addon is already smart enough to tell you that you used the wrong one. The whole addon's JOB is to do the removal of curses, poisons, magic effects, etc...

As far as "the implications of allowing an addon to do things for you"... uh, all addons do "things" for you. That's kinda their purpose. Maybe you should define "things".

This is "fixed" in 2.7.0.2 the message is more user friendly and is only displayed once.

note that it's not about my 'superior' add-on detecting 'flaws' in other very popular add-ons but about the error handler of my add-on disabling itself because those other non-working and out of date very popular add-ons are making too many errors per second... Thousands of errors per minute, slowing down the game and thus, degrading the user's experience...

now, if some people prefer to hide these issues disabling Decursive and pretend everything is ok while their roof is on fire... it's not my problem.

Ok, so I have sat here for 20 minutes reading posts that over and over say to fix / turn off the other addons to make the buggrabber stop. People are not going to disable every addon they have because your "superior" one is detecting their flaws. I think what people are saying is, stop making the buggrabber report the fact that it is turning on and turning off and spamming their chat window, make it run in the background or something. The fact of the matter is, if people have to disable 10 other addons to make it stop, or simply disable yours. The choice is pretty clear which addon gets disabled. Only hurting yourself here, pretty much everyone in my guild has stopped using this addon because of the constant spam it is reporting about other very popular addons.

Been using this addon for a long time and it works wonders, however, now that with the priest's mastery "absolution" I can no longer see any dispellable spells showing up on the MUF except if its on myself, even though im playing on heal spec, i had to use the older version that shows up all the disappellable debuffs in the earlier revisions.

Thanks for all the work you've done here. I was wondering if there is (or if you've considered adding) a way to show the number of stacks of a debuff on a player instead of the time left/time elapsed since the debuff hit?

no there isn't right now, make a feature request ticket on WoWAce.com so I won't forget about this.
For now you can see the debuff stack in the tool-tip displayed when you mouse pointer is hovering a MUF.

Is there a version of this addon that doesn't include !Buggrabber? I'd prefer to have an addon that simply helps me decurse, not one that also polices my other addons.

No there isn't. Just fix the 20 errors / seconds you get, your game will get a higher frame-rate and you'll have a better gaming experience.
