How I set up my crossbars as a bard on steamdeck (Currently level ~65)

I try to play every classes/jobs, thus I tend to reuse same slots for same "functionality" across jobs.

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.

Playing with an LG G600 MMO mouse.

Group 1 is standard 1-9 Group 2 is Shift + 1-12 - (DEX POT is the heart macro) Group 3 is Ctrl + 1-12

From bun boss video but slightly modified

Description

Core / Frequent Action items focused on Hotbar 1 (ST 1-6 & AoE 7-12)
Secondary Actions/Buffs/Debuffs found on Hotbars 2 and 3

Keybinds

• HB1: 1-9, 0. -. =
• HB2: Ctrl + 1-9, 0, -, =
• HB2: Shift + 1-9, 0, -, =

Bars 1-2 are on the number row (1 through =), with 2 being Ctrl+[key]. The general idea being either that the action on bar 1 leads to that on bar 2, or bar 2 is bar 1 but AoE or stronger or something of the sort. Bars 3-4 are on the numpad, and doubly so mapped on the side buttons on my mouse, with 4 being Ctrl+[key], although bar 4 is generally just assorted things for all classes to use.

Have Sprint, Peleton, Mount, Return, and Teleport on separate hidden hotbars utilizing hotbars 1-10 for Stream Deck.

Waiting for the new action images to get added in to fully get this good

Make sure to change Double tap L2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Left" and Double tap R2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Right"

Auto-attack is Pitch Perfect. Keep that seperate.

Gain Resonant Arrow as a follow-up from Barrage. (Uncouple as a follow-up. Down arrow macro icon as placeholder.)
