This layout works for levelling SMN from 1 through Dawntrail

wanna Dance? let's DANCE! single target on the Right Trigger Crossbar skills, Fan Dances & AOE on the Left Trigger Crossbar skills (except for Last Dance) Buffs, Def, Movement etc skills on Crossbar 2

for each job, I create a "hotbar" that is basically a monitor for cooldowns/any spell/skill I want to see the status of; I also have a hotbar with Role spells & skills, and, Sprint. These are the spells I have for Dawntrail. I use Hotbars 2 & 10 but you can use any Hotbars you want.

for RDM, there are only 6 spells, so you could put them all on 1 column; I don't do this because of how I have my UI setup to accommodate multiple job setups.

this layout works for levelling from RDM unlock through Dawntrail. main crossbar is your single target spells & burst rotation, and the 2nd has your AOE spells

In this layout, I grouped the attack Motifs & Muses together, along with their action buttons, and your normal single target & group attacks and separated them from the other normal/non-motif/non-muse attacks. That neatly left room for Smudge on the main cross-bar, but you can switch that with Tempera Coat if you prefer. Since the Landscape Motif has such a large cooldown, I moved that to the 2nd cross-bar as you wouldn't need access to those actions frequently. Also, I have Tempera Grassa setup as executable after Tempera Coat, which is why it is not on the hotbars, but if you prefer them separate, you can take replace Smudge on the 2nd hotbar.

this layout I put together while learning and levelling, adding new spells as they unlock. It's not perfect, it's a bit all over the place, for example, the Muses & Motifs aren't grouped together, or even in the same position across the cross-bars, so I'd maybe line those up neater, but this is now ingrained in my muscle memory, and it will work when you immediately pick up the job. When you unlock, you don't have Rainbow Drip, so I'd initially put Smudge there, so it's on your main cross-bar and easy to access, and you don't have Comet In Black either so I'd put Tempera Coat there.

L2 + DP: Upkeep Skills

I created my chotbars to be comfortable, practical, and aesthetic. 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)

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.

Current XHB layout; single-target on right, aoe on left, stances & less commonly used skills on HB 2.

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"
