Couple of Healer questions!

[FinagleABagel]

I personally find that macros are inefficient and not particularly useful. There is nothing they offer that I can't do faster myself with VOIP. We always know who is assigned to battle res in my group (usually not a healer) so there's never a reason to to wonder who is doing what. I dislike having macros because they clutter my hotbars and are completely static actions.

If you are using mouseover macros, fail to see how this is any different than simply clicking and using a hotkey. For a mouseover macro to work you have to move your mouse and use an easily accessible hotkey to initiate the macro. Accessible hotkeys are valuable real estate and macros just are not that valuable to me.

A typical action could be F4 - heal, T, T, heal on tank - ect. A lot of the hotkeys already exist to quickly jump through targets. I also recommend to re-bind Q/E to skills, and then use mouse right clicking to emulate strafing. Nearly all turns I do in the game are camera angle driven.

I do wish that I was able to re-order the party menu so that my primary targets are always F1-F4, and the rest I can handle with clicks. I've never had any issues with tunnel vision, it helps a ton to slide that party menu closer to the center of your screen. Use 1-2 vertical hotbars to create almost a reticle-like effect to box in the center of the screen. It actually helps you focus on the center because most people are drawn to symmetry.
