    The Steady/Guard interrupts still work - I never noticed it not working, and just tested myself - it works.

    That being said, the interrupt macro to get off those skills serves a very definite purpose. In general I would agree that macros are a bad idea and you want as few as possible as they tend to reduce your options during play.

    The interrupt works - if no target is below 80%.
    If fairy starts auto-casting at <80% and you do steady/guard thingy, the fairy will stop, but instantly recast embrace onto that target, you will not get her to do another action, you're only losing time.

    Last time I checked, Whispering Dawn worked with Steady/Guard interrupts just fine, but the other two skills didn't if someone in range was under 80%.

    For the OP, I wrote a guide that is primarily about fairies. There are a lot of macros there. I also discuss my targeting macros in the end. As a fellow controller player, they may be helpful for you. The URL for the guide is in my signature.

    As for other macros, I use several space saving macros to basically put multiple skills on the same button.
    Swiftcast/Res
    Energy Drain / Aetherflow
    Heel / Place
    I also have Rouse macro'd with Whispering Dawn.

    As for seeing your cooldowns (like Selene's stuff if you have macros doing double duty), you can set a hotbar on the screen and put whatever you want on there to see the cooldowns. It is super nice.
