PLD hotbars based on my GNB hotbars. I use a macro to combine both stuns. Note: I play PLD less than GNB so room for improvements, but wanted all the similar moves to be in the same spots.

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

This was my first tank job that I actually worked on, and paved the way for all my other tank jobs to use a similar setup.

Hotbar 1: On top there's the 1-2-3 combo. Along the right side down, there's the oGCD, and AoE oGCD. Second line is the AoE 1-2 combo. 3rd row is the ranged action and gap closer. Last, there's the two burst window related actions - the hit-harder button, and the free cartridges button. And the sprint has always been there for all the jobs. Sprout carryover.

Hotbar 1 uses the 12 MMO mouse buttons. Hotbar 2 uses those 12 buttons with Shift as the modifier. Hotbar 3 uses those 12 buttons with Alt as the modifier.

example using this layout (2.5 lv100): https://youtu.be/uF67j42bJdM

• NM > SB disabled
• BF > RoB disabled
• Sprint on L3
• LB on R3
• most of xhb8 is otherwise used for general menuing (mount, bag, character,etc)

Peripherals are Corsair Scimitar Elite

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

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Just copied Nanaki's

Maybe?

Designed with minimal swapping between 1 and 2. Most GCD on the non-D pad to help with attacking and moving. Hotbar 8 L and R are same so no thinking. Hotbar 1 is Single target while Hotbar 2 is AOE minded. Hotbar 2 has mount + sprint so keep in mind. Dye = Pot for raiders, if not than whatever you want. Enabled customization when weapon is drawn/sheathed Hotbar 1 + 2. That means hotbar 3 you will manually have to switch to if you need stuff on there. part of my Tank series where similar skills are in the same spots and play roughly in same style. Please Enjoy!

This is a separate cross hotbar for single target and aoe. Hope you enjoy! :)
