Please add a way to remove buffs via macros.

I'm going to start off by saying I'm a controller user. Right now while it is possible to click off buffs via controller, it takes 4 clicks of select, a few presses with the arrow button the the d-pad, and a confirmation to click off a buff, and it is a huge hassle. With keyboard and mouse all you have to do is drag your mouse over to the buff and easily click it off which takes a lot less time to do.

Because buffs are so hard to click off via controller, I generally have to drop my controller and move my mouse to click things off, which is not exactly ideal for situations where I may or may not get targeted with high damage mechanics and I need to click off blood for blood or I die.

I feel that adding a way to remove a specific buff with macro would alleviate this problem. Please add it.

I agree. This is one of the more awkward things to get to with a controller. If we could macro it, we could put it where it's reachable.

I don't think a macro command would be practical do to the large number of status effects in the game.

How about providing a quicker way to select the status window?

I typically don't remove buffs. Rather I select the status bar to see the buff description so I understand what it is. Since buffs often only last a few seconds sometimes, they are gone by the status bar is selected. This is especially true of debuffs placed on you during battles.
