Is there a bug with the standard UI not showing curses or is it me?

Standard raid frames feature little generic markers for debuffs you can dispell. A green-white’ish skull for diseases, a blue circle for magic, a green droplet for poison and a purple star for curses.

These markers show up just fine on all my chars, but on my mage I don’t get them at all. I still see the specific curse debuffs, but am very used to reacting to the generic “there is SOME curse/poison/whatever” on the party or raid member.

Could anyone here confirm if this is a general bug with Blizzard’s UI or if it’s a me problem?

First screenshot shows the raid frames from my Druid’s perspective, with the Druid having the curse from the TJS dungeon on her and it being indicated by a little purple star symbol in the top right corner of her unit frame. The third screenshot shows the magic debuff indicator as it is shown when playing my druid.

Third screenshot is playing my mage, same mobs, same curse debuff, no purple star indicator (you can see the specific curse debuff on the frame, but not the generic “there is some curse” indicator).

Are the dispellable debuff indicators bugged for mage, does the game not know mages can dispell curses anymore, or is this working for everyone but me (somehow exclusively on my mage and not my other chars) and I need to reset my UI?

Didn’t know that exist. Having the frame turn purple for a curse is the main reason I run Elvui party frames

I’m not a fan of heavy addons and sincerely trying to avoid installing more than I need. The standard Blizz raid frames work perfectly fine for me … when they work.

Would just like to know if WoW is bugged or my UI is screwed up somehow in a very specific fashion.

It should show. I think you have only dispellable debuffs enabled, and haven’t talented into decurse, but could be wrong

Mate I have a weakaura that reminds me to spec remove curse when there’s curses in the dungeon. I wish I were that stupid, would save me from having to figure out which addon has a character specific setting on my mage to disable this.

Did some googling, try this:

untick the option on raid frames called “hide other debuffs”

i think this had been enabled trough some update but after unticking it mine works like it used to
