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.

Decursive is dedicated to the memory of Bertrand Sense known as Glorfindal on the European server Les Sentinelles. He was the raid leader of my guild (Horizon)

not easily, you need to change the AfflictionAlert.ogg file in Decursive's folder.
Is there any way to make the Decursive micro unit frame match the raid frames, in terms of who is in each group? In raids it's not uncommon for me to be asked to dispel the 3rd group of the raid, for example, but Decursive doesn't follow the same group arrangement so I can't dispel my assigned targets. If I could make Decursive arrange itself in the same way as the raid, that would be perfect.
You can do that using the priority list feature to order the MUFs the way you like (ctrl-click on the MUF handle then click on the 'P' button to add groups).

perfect, thank you!
Is there an option to turn off the message about "There are too many lua errors in your UI..."?
I didn't find anything in the FAQ or documentation... but I may just overlooked it.
There is no option to remove this message as this would make it useless. The best thing you can do is report the issue with the add-on(s) causing these errors or replace them with maintained ones.
As this is becoming a exasperatingly annoying issue for me lately; why is it critical that this mod MUST take it upon itself to force users to either spend hours upon hours debugging other addons that don't cause noticeable gameplay impact, (A custom weakauras2 combat bar I use gives 24+ errors with no noticeable addon conflicts or performance impact. Even after fully deleting/reinstalling the mod.) or put up with their login being spammed by a mod they have no interest in having help them 'decurse' lua errors with other addons.
How would a player having a poison debuff be dependent on a intrusively annoying error reporting module that breaks the whole addon if removed (Dcr_DIAG does this). If there was another addon that did debuff management with sound/simple click frames I wouldn't bother writing this and simply uninstall this and forget it exists. As it is currently, I'm stuck with putting up with non-pertinent bug reporting until you offer a choice for the end-user to spend hours fixing non-problems with this addon, or managing in-game debuffs efficiently.
I know this has always been a tough call for me: should I downgrade the quality of my add-on because other developers don't care and accept to deal with reports that say "it doesn't work" or should I implement an in game diagnostic tool that allows me to get useful debug reports and to release a bug free add-on years after years?
You should have spent this time ranting on the page where you got your custom weakaura2 combat bar. This would have been more useful for the community than trying to find a way to hide the problem.
Lua errors are bad, there is no exception.
Agreed. I have never liked this action. I don't run Decursive to debug my addons. I run it to remove curses. To me, it is just chat spam.
I see no reason that turning this nag off would make Decursive useless. Blizz lets us turn off lua error reporting, why can't you?
Love the addon, otherwise.
I've outright tried deleting the libraries controlling error reporting to circumvent this but the whole mod is rigged to require them despite this not being a debugging addon. My installation has a fit with a few weakaura scripts and keeps telling me my game experience is degraded despite absolutely 0 impact on game performance. It isn't degraded, I can't tell the addon to stop telling me it is. I wouldn't 'shoot the messenger' if I could address the problem which is the mods error reporting.
new version tells it's out of date
Did you restart WoW after installing the new version?
need update for 7.1
i cant join a battle ground que, tells me decursive is the problem.
This is caused by another add-on using the shared libraries embeded in Decursive install path. you'll need to disable your add-ons 1 by 1 until you find which one it is.
I've been using Decursive for years...thanks guys for a great mod! Since legion has come out though, i've been having an issue with sending tells. My tells go through to people but it will not show up on my screen at all. However it does show up if I send them to Battletag friends. It's only tells....guild chat , trade chat etc etc all work fine. It's just tells or "whispers". Has anyone else had a problem with this?
Dear Archarodim,
Might it be possible to add more mouse buttons to the Decursive addon? Mice these days have a couple of more buttons then they used to, like mouse 4 and mouse 5 buttons (on the side of the mouse). Would be great if atleast these can be added.
Yes, it's now possible to use buttons 4 and 5 in the latest alpha :)

FYI, There is no help section under the interface options anymore.
Thanks this is fixed in latest alpha
