Single target on RT + face buttons, AOE on LT + face buttons

Damage mitigation on LT + D pad, barriers and healing on double LT + face buttons

WIP for current warrior hotbar. Expanded XHB is enabled both LT - RT and RT - LT are set to Right 2. This allows for easy access to mits/healing regardless of which side of the HB you are working on. Right side for single target, left side for AOE, top bars for lesser used actions roughly based on the single target/aoe split.

Current WIP for updated hotbars in 7.0, focusing on minimising swapping hotbars in combat and keeping visual clarity on relevant buff cooldowns and maximising consistency across all jobs. Bar 1 is for single target, and Bar 2 for AoE.

The Glamour Plate button is being used in place of the newly added skill as needed, and the dye represents potion. Sprint and LB are macroed to L3/R3 respectively.

I've watched Bun Boss and a few others to get an idea of how things should flow on controller. This is a setup that works for me and I wanted to share it! I like to keep things consistent across my jobs.

Peripherals are Corsair Scimitar Elite

All jobs will follow a similar pattern to make job transitioning simple and not so overwhelming

No new buttons.

Not too far off from my lvl 90 hotbar that made sense to my brain. Thinking this will work out well

Macro1: Liturgy of the Bell <me>

Note: I haven't leveled this up to 100 yet.

Hotbar 1: Starting with the single target filler, regen, and DoT on the first row. Next row has the WHM-specific actions. The rest is the same: heal, weak AoE heal (in case of sync-down), esuna, zoomies, weak heal (ONLY for sync-downs that the normal heal isn't there), sprint.

Hi! This and paladin are my mains, so I hope these hotbars help someone! The inventory button should be replaced with the best potion of mind for your level.

Thanks for the credit distraughtklownz! =)

General notes:

• "Main" hotbar is RT
• Frequently used abilities or important ones to use while moving go on the face buttons
• AoE versions of things go on expanded hotbar
• Only using one expanded hotbar so no LT>RT vs. RT>LT confusion during combat
• Infrequently used abilities go on WXHB
• Star button on WXHB is a focus target macro

Sage-specific notes:

• Sage has lots of single-target vs. AoE abilities, so placement on expanded hotbar mirrors this (Dosis/Dyskrasia, Diagonosis/Prognosis, Taurochole/Kerachole, Druochole/Ixochole, Haima/Panhaima)
• Philosophia placement mirrors that of Soteria (LT vs. LT-LT)
• Krasis on d-pad down to make it easy to cycle down to the tank and target them for it (down, down, RT+down)
  • Remember to adjust your party list job priority!
• Zoe and Pneuma next to each other since they usually get used together
• Eukrasia on WXHB is a macro to turn it off
• Speech button on WXHB is a macro to indicate Swiftcast cooldown (i.e., when I will attempt to res again)

A SMN layout that makes sense for my brain and how I play. Single Target on main, AoE on hotbar 2, which I usually switch to by hitting right bumper (R1) and then staying on that hotbar as needed.

Updated for 7.0!

? Macro = Searing Flash

These are my SMN hotbars, very much a WIP, Hopefully you enjoy :)

Hotbar 1: White mana on the left side, black mana on the right side. Single target above, AoEs below. Both/neutral down the middle. I used to put acceleration on Hotbar 3, but it's better this way for quick succession to the relevant actions.

Hotbar 2 (ctrl): The 1-2-3 melee combo on top. I usually have my gap close/make on those two middle positions. Sleep, lucid, cure, and the DPS buff are just rollovers from my old hotbar as Summoner, my first job, and that was before I put more thought into hotbar setups. AoE and run+gun spenders on the bottom row.

I have my hotbars set up so that pressing R1 toggles between hotbars 1 and 2, with hotbar 3 as the WXHB.

"1" icon is Aether Compass, "2" icon is Gysahl Greens.

A first run of a layout, influenced by my SMN and RDM layouts. ST on hotbar one, AoE on hotbar 2, other stuff on 3. I usually sit on either hotbar 1 or 2, depending on my needs, and switch between them with the R1 bumper.

Tweaked on 7/28/2024 - I added Rainbow Drip to the main two bars because it has a proc mechanism at times - you need to see that, not have it hidden on third bar!

Work In Progress. Squintina-like PCT panels.

Updated for latest patch

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

All important combo GCDs and oGCDs are on the face buttons for max mobility while weaving/doing positionals

I tend to put AOEs on the D-pad since they aren’t as important but Viper actually has more AOE GCDs than most jobs, so Pit of Dread (aoe Twinblade starter) was able to get a spot on the R2 + Square since there was real estate.

Easily distinguish between your 'left' and 'right' dual blade combos and your twinblade combos, even making our reawaken phase as simple as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Keybinds: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Q, E, R, T, F, M4, M5 (+ Shift / Ctrl for Hotbars 2/3)

HB using a macro to swap skills between ST and AOE
Reawaken skills in order (1-4)
Mouse binds F1-F11, ESC
Unused mouse buttons free to use (Mounts, LB,...)

Layout:

HB 1&2: 6x2 on top of eachother
HB3: 3x4 on the right of the other 2

HB 2 is expanded as well cause double tapping triggers sucks :) HB 3 for aoe and the space to fit single target rotation on 2 htobars

Single target on RT, AOE on double RT with D-pad combinations mostly the same for both situations.

2nd most used skills are on LT and double LT with face button combinations

I created my chotbars to be comfortable, practical, and aesthetic.(to me anyway) Nearly all same/similar skills are in the same position across all jobs/roles while allowing for as little finger gymnastics as possible.

My XHB is split between chotbars 2(left) and 7(right)

I show Cross Hotbar 3 (Left) with both of the expanded trigger controls, so you can easily add in another 8 actions if you prefer, I use XHB 8 as a shared bar between all classes for traversal and general actions outside of combat. Role actions are consistent among my layouts, and so are general actions. The macro icon is a placeholder for a Tincture/Gemdraught.

Puts most of the strain on the left hand, and off of the right.
