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'm a mage and at the moment, I am using SmartBuff's SmartDebuff function. OK, it doesn't generate a live list like DCR but shows everyone in raid and highlights the players that need decursing/cleansing, but it DOES target and cleanse on click and that is what we want isn't it?
Don't see the reason why this wouldn't be possible for DCR

@Voldin- You're suggesting the same thing posted previously... See comment: 12/11/06 @ 1:46 PM +1900
... the Advantage of Decursive, is that it takes into account whether or not a person is in range, has the debuf, etc. before it acts. I believe the next best solution might be the SmartBuff addon's SmartDebuff function, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. The method you suggest is also plausible, so long as you make it a part of your raid strategy to make certain that everyone stays in range, and assign groups to cleanse using just a macro.
Personally.. I love what blizzard has done to lock things down... to take away some of the automation and botting techniques (As an example... have you seen the rogue videos where they just hit one key repeatedly... raiding like that just does NOT sound fun to me!) But to make encounters that were clearly designed with the ability to do automated cleansing in mind, and then take away most of the functionality of the automation of cleansing... just doesn't make sense. Manual cleansing for 3+ bosses in a row not only takes a large amount of fun from the game for some classes that are relied upon heavily for cleansing... but it adds in the element of extreme frustration for those classes, and in turn everyone in the raid. *shrug*
Personally, I'd be totally fine with manual cleansing by macro or even select and cleanse... IF AND ONLY IF Blizzard took the time to rebalance some of the encounters that are insanely cleanse heavy *cough* noth *cough* faerlina *cough*... (the list is long)
What about working it in a way such that it doesn't actually auto-taget for you, but will allow you to spam a macro keybinding and act on a moused-over target, such as this one-liner:
"/cast [target=mouseover] Remove Lesser Magic"
That of course would be expanded to include the logic to determine the UnitDebuffType and then cast the appropriate cleaning spell based on the result.
In the end, the mod is still legal because it isn't auto-targetting and auto-casting, but isn't much more difficult for a player to use. We'd basically just have to keep hovering over the players protraits/raid box and spamming the "decurse" keybinding.
Just a thought. I've actually been trying to find a way to do such a thing in a "simple" macro instead of having to develop an entire add-on for it, but it seems to be a good deal of logic to determine the UnitDebufType and the proper matching spell, so I'm not sure that a macro would be the best approach. Or if it can be done in less than 255 characters to begin with.
My $0.02 :-)
it's both ! Targetting and casting are always forbidden for addons... The only way is to use a combination of blizzard party templates and macro. I'll try to release something useful before next Monday.
To all: Thank you for your support :)

I was thinking, and came up with some suggestions. Maybe they were all thought of already and they won't work, but maybe they will, or give some other people an idea, so I'll try anyway ;)
If it's possible, maybe set the focus to the person you want to clean. Then you could have a few preset macro's that clean whatever debuff the focus has (Posion, Magic, Curse etc). Then the logic can determine what macro to fire. But I guess Blizzard will have prevented setting focus from a addon/in combat
But creating the preset macro's should be possible nontheless, and changing them into using mouseover as a target instead of focus, and having the decursive list work as a party frame, you should still be able to hover over a person and clean whatever debuff with 1 button press. Only extra action would be you have to hover over a person now.
I already have a macro on my druid that will decurse a player that i mouse over, or will cast abolish poison if i hold ctrl, but it is really annoying to have to press ctrl now and then on different debuffs. Maybe my ideas are silly, maybe not, but I hope they are of some value to anyone :)
Cheers for Decursive so far, hope you manage to find a nice workable solution!
it is great
I won't panic and I'm confident that "our" decursive will come back as perfect as it has always been
full support and many thanks in advance to get this back soon !!!! ;-))
ps remember the time when we didn't get all of those addons ? we were playing and winning as well.....
I think that this addon no longer works because blizzard, in new patch 2, cancel a lot of funcions... Now, no addon can choice players to decursive or heal, the user must do that (sucks).
The best addon that i found to decursive is SmartBuff http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2323 This addon do buffs, but make decursive too...
If some one found addon better them SmartBuff to decursive, please, post.
/decursive no longer works.
Maybe its clashign with another mod I dont know. If anyone has any knowledge of mods it clashes with please post something.
just an idea .. (i've no programming experience) isn't possible to define a global variable with an addon und use this variable in macro? like: /target %todecurse; /cast ... no need of removed targetbyname-function
so nothing to change in macros while infight, just the content of the variable changes
so, nothing to do than install addon, write a macro, make a keybinding than just hit the key binded to that makro
is that possible?
Hmm, I take it back... looks like he did give credit...
But so far, comments seem to be that it's not working correctly either :(
Best solution I've seen so far is: http://members.cox.net/bren327/macro.htm
That makes it as easy as: 1) Create the macro and bind a key to it. 2) watch CT_RaidAssist for one of the frames to turn color when they need cleansing 3) mouse over the frame that needs cleansing, and hit your keybinding.
This solution would be even better, if the live list in decursive consisted of "frames" that allowed you to mouse over a name in the decursive list, and hit the keybinding for that macro.. *shrug*. If Decursive did the logic (in range, has curse, etc.), displayed it in live-list... that would simplify it to nothing more required than to mouse over and hit the macro's keybinding. *shrug*
I know.. it's not perfect, but it's better than we have now. :(
BTW, has anyone tried : http://wow.curse-gaming.com/en/files/details/5120/decursive-2-0-with-autodecurse/
Looks like a rip-off of work to me.. *ponder*
This was just posted.

With all the limitations that Blizz is enforcing, I would be happy with <Name of Player 5> in Group 4 is Cursed and only show the ones that are in range.
One thing about the pre patch Decursive was they were out of range in most fights, since I am a mage I tend to stay away from the tanks and rogues.
Ulasha: I belive that only have beta versions to download
any eta ? :)
About macros: I did some tests earlier and you CAN indeed have decursive write the decurse target and spell into a macro which the player then spams. Would look something like: /cast [target=raid23] Dispel Magic /decursive Which casts the spell and then has the addon rewrite the macro.
Downside: Does only work out of combat. No macro editing infight.
i cant download...why?...there are no mirrors
