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 having the exact same issue Enigma_TL described.
On Thursday, I had no problems with decursive in AQ40. On Saturday, I was in AV, and also had no issue. Saturday evening, however, while in BWL, I noticed that I was not actually able to decurse raidmembers unless I had manually selected the afflicted party. The names and ailments were popping up on my decursive list, but anytime I'd hit the decursive key with a) someone not afflicted targetted or b) no one targetted, it would simply spam the decursing XXX notification. I also noticed that clicking the name in the decurse list would give the same spam, without actually ever doing anything.
It was not a range issue, the person topping the list could be right beside me.
I'm going to try installing 1.9.8.2, but I am kinda nervous it's going to keep happening.
@Nayfal Can't speak for archa here, but generally, that is a problem more of a tactical issue than decursive. Try to have mages help with curses, and paladins/shamans with poisons, alternatively, have some druids switch around the order, so it's first poison then curses.
As for randomness, just having 'decurse randomly' active in the options should remedy that, unless of course, you have changed your settings to not decurse poisons, and only curses. As archa said, in that case with the new system it will just look for curses on a target, and only if there are any poisons left, remove those from the SAME person.
I am using both CT Raid and Decursive and I have foudn aproblem on large raids. In duels and 5 mans it decurses fine but on 40man its like it tries to start teh sepll and then aborts it. I end up only decursing like 4 or 5 people. It isn't showing an error but is saying Decursing XXXX.
Perhaps I just don´t see where to set this option...
The spiders in Naxxramas spam Curse and Poison and my Druid ist just only decursing Curse because it is set to 1 and poison is 2 in the options menu. So the spiders spam both and no one in my raid is decursing poison with this new decursive version.
Is it possible to decurse random, curse and poison mixed? Is it possible to avoid this priority setting?
it's not easy because Decursive is not designed to use spell that works only on yourself...
Is it possible to have the Dwarf racial ability included on the list of spells to use by decursive to cure debuffs? I understand that this might be useful for only one race of 8 and then again as a self cure, but it would save my dwarf priest a bit of mana now and then. I suppose if something worked for Stoneform then the Forsaken racial ability might be able to be worked into decursive as well. Just a thought.
I admit that I haven't taken the time to read through all of the forums so if this has already been discussed I apologize in advance for bringing it up again.
Thanks for considering it.
what about support for pally's? Mywifey is always taking poisen debuffs off me...
1.9.8.2 is available:
Changes from Decursive 1.9.8.1 to 1.9.8.2
- Now Decursive disables and re-enables the "self auto cast" option automatically, it's no longer a problem. - Last version I hope!!!

I found a better implementation of Topiland's idea... it's comming out very soon, stay tuned.
well I don't know if changing an option like this is performance wise...
I don't know how to program, so I tried what Topiland did.. but I got lotsa errors.. would appreciate someone posting a new decursive with the changes so decursive works. :] thanks!
@Terra Branford:
I cannot reproduce this issue, I have no dead spot on my screen... If I click just beneath "Decursive" bar I click on the world and can select/move etc... if I hide "Decursive" and click just where it was, I can click on the world too.
Anyway, Decursive just hides frames... there is no other way to hide a frame than to hide it... So if you have dead spots then your UI has been messed up by something and there is nothing I can do.
@bolocos:
yes but it would cause other problems since Decursive would need to change your target...
But Auto self cast is a very annoying option in fact...You can't cast unless you select your target. But there is a key binding available to enable/disable this so you can use it from time to time.
Is it possible to make decursive work with auto self cast turned on? Since I plan not to use Telo's self cast mod, we will not be able to self bandage etc. when disabling this option.
I'm getting an aggravating problem that CTRaidAssist once had - a spot on the screen that is just completely dead to mouse clicking at all.
In the case of the current decursive in 1.12, if you hide the main Decursive Active List window (the one that shows you the top ten cursed players by default and is shown with /dcrshow), that very spot becomes unusable for mouse clicks. Unhide the DCRS List "window" (the one that just says "Decursive" in it), move it around, hide it and repeat process. Unusable spot.
I'm reverting to the old decursive I had in 1.11 and just making sure self cast is off in raids. I can't have dead spots when I'm trying to move quickly to deal with mob targets in raids.
Anyway, just thought I'd let you know of a potentially troublesome problem.
And yes, I tried this with ONLY Decursive enabled to rule out interference with other mods.
Logical German translation (not just word by word):
DCR_DISABLE_AUTOSELFCAST = "Die Decursive-Einstellung \"%s\" ist aktiv.\n\nDecursive kann, solange das der Fall ist, keine Reinigung vornehmen.\n\nSoll diese Einstellung deaktiviert werden?";
Keep up the good work, I love the addon! :-)
Ok I fixed the problems in my version, now Decursive displays a warning when the AutoSelfCast option is active and propose to disable it.
I just need German and Chinese localization for this string:
DCR_DISABLE_AUTOSELFCAST = "Decursive found that the option \"%s\" is enabled.\n\nDecursive won't be able to decurse while this option is active.\n\nDo you want to disable it?";
