What to use to replace Decursive, just respec to resto and miss that addon as it no longer is being updated, any other program as good as?
 
The new decursive works fine, it's not like the old one but it gives you a group of small boxes you can click when you need to decurse, it's very easy.

oh and it might be a good idea not to fill you topic with capitals and to just maybe bother to mention the game your refering to.

were not all wow junkies! (i am though :( )

on a side note [Beans] did you play Knight online?
 
Just get whatever bar things you used to show debuffs and do it manually. :rolleyes:
 
How about using actual skill to decurse rather than a bleeding piece of software that reduces the role of the human to mindless key pressing :mad:

I hate decursive, raiding should have been a fun activity but thanks to mods like decursive it made it utterly boring.

Arguably said mods were only there because there WAS an excess of debuffing etc. 'Chicken and Egg' symptoms Im afraid. Perhaps the initial design of raids to have the huge amount of debuffing necessary should be blamed, rather than the mods which sprung up to take some of the stress off of the healers having to do it.

Its sometimes hard to remember but back in the days of 40 man raids, keeping a track on everyone wasnt always easy, especially with AOE debuffs, and the need to prioritise, all of which takes time, which sometimes wasnt that available.

It's not so bad nowadays in 10/25man raids but back then it could be the difference between life and death, it still can, but obviously with much lower numbers, and a reduction in multiple debuffs, its not quite as time dependant/using as before.

And before it gets mentioned, no I don't use Decursive, I dont think its that necessary these days, but I can understand why people like it.

Our guild managed it fine pre-decursive, and we managed it fine in EQ when we had like, 90 man raids (yes, we zerged :p ) and any sort of mod was strictly prohibited.
 
Aye, but were you taking reliable, decent people into 40man or were there complete morons there too because of guild raiding policy/tolerances etc? Judging from what you say about 'we' managing large raids in EQ as well, suggests to me you had a pretty solid group of players, who were generally competant to the last man, as you'd been together for so long.

Tbh morons in the 40mans probably increased the need for debuffing no end (spreading debuffs, being where they shouldnt etc), but in a real world situation for a lot of people, debuffing with people like that in a raid could get awkward, because of the exacerbation of issues. :) If you were taking in 40 decent people who actually focused all the time, I can see it being less of an issue, but how many of us actually got that experience :(

Alliance - always active, lots of great people, equal % of idiots to the horde, but the much higher population ratio meant sometimes there's so many idiots you can cry:(

I agree with this. I really struggled to dispell everyone in time back in my Molton Core days, as we'd maybe have 2 priests on dispell duty across 40 players. Now I don't see any use for it though, as it's much easier to notice any debuffs on 10 players and there aren't many aoe things that need dispelled.

Aye you're right, but to my mind the way MMOs should work is that everyone has to be switched on and doing their jobs properly - any morons in your raid and you don't get the lewtz, simple as. Obviously if Blizzard implemented that strategy in WoW then it would cost them a lot of subscriptions, which is why they haven't done it, but I feel thats to the detriment of the game as a whole :(

Why's that then?? If you'd explained yourself I'd have known, wouldn't I.

Not a fan of your attitude if the above three posts are anything to go by. Wind your neck in, people with confrontational attitudes turn a long standing useful service lie the one offered here, into childish arguments and attitude fests.
