Using standard 3-line set with shift and control as two separate modifiers, and access to M4 and M5

keybinds: 1,2,3,4,Q,E,R,F (C, X, Z, 5)

Row 2: CTRL+

Order from Left to Right:

1, 2, 3, 4

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

New job, so no changes log

My final layout after several ex-trial/normal raid runs. I prefer expanded XHB over WXHB because it allows faster access compared to double tap.

Personal one I have edited while in dungeons and trails and such.

1- 1-0,-,=

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.

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)

Just copied Nanaki's

hotbar 1 is single target bar hotbar 3 is aoe combo stuff

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!

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

This guide is for beginners like me who don't want to think about pressing LT twice or LT⇒RT or RT⇒LT... I want to use my brain as little as possible. For slot 8's RT⇒LT, set both display sets to 'XHB Set 8: Right' from the system menu. Since I'm not even at level 100 yet, I believe there are many parts that will need adjustment.
