After praticing differents ways to play Pictomancer, i find my build for cast easier my spells.

Maybe, it going to help other players, i hope so.

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.

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

Hotbar 1, single target. Main raid bar.

Hotbar 2, utility, buffs, repeats Accessed via expanded controls

• Squeezing both triggers

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

PROVISIONAL - NOT LEVELLED OR TESTED

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Main XHB - Single Target EXHB - AOE Expanded XHB - Utility

Everything is neatly lined up the way I like it. Normally i would put aoes same line as single target bar, but I like having scenic and starprism somewhere easily seen and pressed. pots go between smudge and sprint, but its all up to you!

Order from Left to Right:

1, 2, 3, 4

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

Row 2: CTRL+

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!
