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 try to put Decurse on 1 single button and is not working....i have to press 7 time to decurse... I use "/dcr macro SetKey ;" and the macro command, still the same problem. In cant understand what im doing wrong or if this is a bug, in the old Decursive is working only with 1 press of the button (find in the wow key binding). Now is not working anymore...
@Kyrstin:
Thanks :)
your problem is strange because Decursive doesn't change anything related to what you describe. Did you tried to enable/disable the related option in WoW interface options (I know it's an option to 'always show spell bars' - something like that)
I'll check on my side anyway.
@cedricbrunson :
Go spam elsewhere please.
nvm lol, Im just stupid I thought than live list was the muf works now :P
Damn, I dont know what Im doing wrong, but I when click on muf, nothing happen, left click for curse, even tried right and middle, no message, no error.
the hotkey is working but not the muf
First off, you guys did an AMAZING job with this. Super intuitive AND fun to use. /cheers
Ok, one problem tho. Before I installed Decursive, if I left a spot on the WoW action bar blank, the box would be invisable. Since I installed Decursive, the blank boxs no longer remain invisable, but in fact show up as blank but transparant AFTER I go into combat. This doesn't happen all the time, but I have yet to tie it to a specific action, but once the box becomes transparently visable, it stays that way. May have something to do with the MUF coding.
Anyway, normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but I use TwinTrinkets and I put the trinket boxes in the empty spaces right above my lower action bar so that they are in close proximity to my casts (yeah, I'm a clicker). But when the transparent boxes show up, I can't put them there and use them. I have to place them above the empty boxes, and it makes things a tad slower.
I hope I explained this ok. Please let me know if you need further clarification on this.
Again, great job on 2.0 !!! Other than this one irritant, I love it.
just type /clearfocus ;) You can also do /target focus or bind a key to do so in the binding interface (targeting section) to targetthe focused unit
the /focus command works like /target
it's impossible, Blizzard changes in WoW 2.0 were made specificly to prevent 'single key spamming addons' to work.
Is it not possible to move that little annoying square that u can click in order to decurse someone?
Its placed right smack in the middle of the screen and is pissing me off....
Cant u make it so u can pull it around the screen just as u do the Decursive bar?
Thanks in advance.
ZetroGrade:
According to the directions (just scroll up):
IMPORTANT: TO MOVE THE MUFS, CLICK AND HOLD THE HANDLE JUST ABOVE THE FIRST MUF (IT HAS THE SAME SIZE AS A MUF AND HIGHLIGHTS WHEN YOUR MOUSE POINTER IS OVER IT). This handle has several uses, a tooltip explains them all.
Does that work?
Not clicking, i was thinking about this kind of macro : /cast [target=mouseover, exists, help] Dispel Magic
to mouse over the list and not the MUF spam the macro key or it's impossible?
@prez666:
Yes why not... it's because you want to place it at the bottom of your screen ?
@Dasco :
No its not possible, Blizzard does not allow unit frames to be moved while in combat so the list is not made of unit frames and so it is not clickable.
Is it possible to cure (with the decursive macro) on the list and not the MUF?
Can you add an option to have the MUFs expand next row upwards instead of downwards? Thanks
Decursive 2.0 BETA 5 by Archarodim
Changes from Decursive 2.0 BETA 4 to 2.0 BETA 5
- Fix a bug that caused the loss of per-character bindings. - Added a new debuff type: 'Charm' that applies to charmed units so mages can see all charmed units ; previously they could only see charmed units with a magical debuff (as priests). (This need testing, the situation is difficult to reproduce) - Added an option to change the transparency (Alpha) of the MUFs when a unit is not afflicted, it can be set to 0 to be completely transparent. - The micro unit frames (MUFs) are set to a lower strata. - "Arcane Blast" will no longer be shown as a Debuff. - Added full French localization by Sylvin - Added full Korean localization by Fenlis - Fixed typos in localization.lua and added a missing option description.

The filtering works only when in combat (it's to avoid to waste mana and time on classes that are not affected by a certain Debuff ie: it's useless to dispell 'Silence' on a thief while in combat but once the fight is over, you can dispel it...)
I'll add "Arcane Blast" to permanent Decursive skip list.
Archarodim:
I found another bug but I just realized I hadn't upgraded to beta4 yet, so it might have been fixed. I'll report it anyways.
The mages have a debuff that they can put on themselves called "Arcane Blast" -- it essentially increases the mana cost of spells but reduces cast time. If mana isn't an issue to them it means they can do more dps by casting more spells. Decursive kept popping up and I accidently removed it from them a few times. They started getting pretty mad so I wanted to add it as a filter.
While not in combat I went to the options and chose to add a new filter. I typed in the name "Arcane Blast" and then made sure to check the checkmark on "Mage." To no avail, whenever they cast Arcane Blast on themselves, decursive still popped up wanting me to decurse it. I tried unchecking mage and checking all the other classes (I'm not sure whether checking a class means that it will SKIP it, or that it will decurse it) and that didn't work either.
Am I doing something wrong?
indeed, I checked and it's Decursive... It creates a global keybinding thus removing the per charecter setting... I'll fix that tonight :/
Not sure, as i was using this addon it usually wiped my per-character keybindings (0 size bindings-cache.wtf in character folder).
Removed the addon and it stopped wiping em, so doesnt have to be this mod, maybe just this mod in conjuction with the others i run.
Havent tried yet to investigate it any further.
@Zenja:
It could help you A LOT to read the readme.txt file....
@birdeye:
I'll think of something but the best is to use the priority list so you know that the first MUFs are important players to you... (Ctrl-Click on the handle to see the priority list.
I 2nd the: what does this mod do? question.
I used to use it so I could make a macro and click it for all Decursing/debuffing needs. That's really all.
Right now I have some window that pops up that seems unconfigurable for when someone in my raid gets a neg buff or something. I put it on my friend's machine and he can't see how to get rid of it so I had to tell him to disable decursive altogether.
