Actually, the /targetcustomnext will take a partial string and try to match it so you could use "bal" and get ballistas and "longbow com" and get longbow commanders.
Of course, that won't help with individually named NPCs. I just try to con them from a distance and edit my macro to their name.

If I'm playing in melee, I often just find it easier to move myself right in front of the enemy I want to target and press the "target nearest enemy" key.
I'd like to find out if there's a tip, or some strategy -for handling the longbow bosses decoys, phantasms and decoy phantasms.
Obviously, as a kin, I try to get my siphon speed, etc off the npc. Generally, I don't use my mouse to target, I use the tab key. On occasion, I might have to, to target a specific baddy in a crowd, but for the most part, with all the action on the screen, I have to move my mouse around a good bit to find the cursor. By this time, with decoys beating on my, I'm defeated already.
Solo, I'd turn the diff down, but on a team, I'm a bit at a loss as to how to handle them.
A targeting macro sounds like it would be perfect - but it isn't, because a macro needs a specific name, and changing that name from mission to mission would be annoying. Is there a way to target npcs that aren't "unaffected" or "invalid" targets?
I'm sure I'm not the first kin to run into them - how do you guys handle them?
