My current DNC Layout

WIP with aoe abilities on the extended XHB

RT single target, buffs

RT LT aoe, healing

1 RT right -> single target 1 RT left -> aoe 1 LT right -> dances 1 LT left -> Fan dances LT LT -> Position actions RT RT -> rest + role actions 6 is my shared hotbar

DPS Icon 1 = Last Dance

Gain Last Dance. (Teleport as Placeholder. Not actually too sure if this is a new button.)

Maybe play with where Saber Dance, Last Dance, Starfall Dance, and Fan Dance IV are. Might feel bad to hit those buttons in those locations.

Endwalker Lvl90 Dancer

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"

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.

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)

Bar 1: single target Bar 2: AOE Bar 3: XHB

Single target on right, AOE on left, dances and buffs on cross.
