Dota – How to manage bears for Brewmaster

dota-2

With Brewmaster, earth bear is the important guy when you recombine, you end up at earth. Is there any easy way to select it, send it towards base then select the other two to go attack / distract or whatever?

Tab works well to cycle between them, but they are all still locked together, I want to quickly send one away then still control the other two.

F1 says "Select All other unit!" but, if you select earth bear and send it on his way, then use F1, it reselects all the bears ( as I guess they are all not Brew)

I can use control groups, but seems like you have to at least waste one ulti to set it up.

What I really do for Brew and most micro heroes is set control groups (1,2,3,4) 1 is for the all spirits, 2-4 are for each spirit. As the fire spirit has no active spell, I usually set him to 4.
