So that you can target your party list like how we did in XI. Top player in list = F1 and last player in list = F7
Ever since doing this I have been a WAY better mage, both for running, bosses, and the hectic last portion of after the Ogre.
It allowed me to macro my cure1, cure2, cure3, curaga1, curaga2 and sacrifice3 all with <t>
Also please macro sleep if you haven't. Also all my cures and buffs that I have macro'd are on my 2nd and 3rd action bar, and only things i use often and not macro'd are on the first bar. Which never auto hides anymore.
