I will agree that the modifier method for FTL always seemed overly complex to me.

I know a few folks have looked at using the bar paging method. I thought about it once but it just seemed like too much work. Having to navigate around possession and stance/form bars gave me a headache.

I use ISBoxer now so it is very simplified but before that I used macro's or focus targeting. Not perfect but I made it work.

I am trying to get my head around your macro's it looks solid but it is Christmas Eve I will have to look closer this weekend.
