Paladin Hotbar Layouts and Guides

Lost my saved settings and have to adjust and set up the entire game from scratch. Dimly remember my layout but it'll probably change from here. Also have a normal hotbar for out of focus cooldown overview.

Main Bar 1: Single Target Main Bar 2: AOE the middle bar i use for defensives and dash and shield lob and such. Dye: Pots

Sprint and Mount Roulette are macro to L3 and R3 respectively

This layout might be garbage, I'm learning how to play with a controller :)

Hotbar 1 Right: single target filler rotation, buffs, and shield lob. Hotbar 2 Right: AOE rotation, buffs, and shield lob Hotbar 1/2 Left: Mitigations. Self buffs on face buttons, raidwide/targeted on directional.

I use macro for quick release Intervention and Shirk to MT example below.

/ac Intervention /ac Intervention <2> /micon Intervention

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!

Just copied Nanaki's

Paladin Level 100 Controller Hot Bars

Hot Bar 6: Single Target DPS Hot Bar 7: Multi Target DPS Hot Bar 8: WXHB

Work in Progress

Lvl 100 Paladin XHB made by a ps5 player

Lv60 Paladin Hotbars

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

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

I got used to starting my rotations from right to left.

WIP Using hb2 and 3 for shared across both modes

XHB 1 Single target XHB 2 Group target

Note: Sprint and Limit Break should be on a Shared Hotbar!!!

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

How I set up my crossbars as a paladin on steamdeck (Currently level ~65)

I try to play every classes/jobs, thus I tend to reuse same slots for same "functionality" across jobs.

Putting this up for a friend. I'm not a great tank so this is probably not optimal and/or is missing stuff. Not updated for 7.0.

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.

Circle macro is where I put my Strength Potions. Tank 1 macro is an Intervention macro targeting <2> Shirk is also a macro targeting <2> Bread icon is where I put my food. Shield icon near bread icon is Countdown macro. X macro is /cd to cancel countdown macros. Shield Lob is currently unbound, but put it wherever you find comfy.

I have a normal hotbar above my main XHB to show the cooldowns of: Hallowed Ground, Wings, Intervene, Sprint.

Here is my paladin hotbar, it's my main so I hope this helps someone trying to learn it! The inventory button on the third row far right should be replaced with the current potion of strength if you're a sweat :3

I like keeping my bars organized like my hands.

Bar 3 is on the left and bar 1 and 2 are stacked on the right so that they mirror as two full rows.

Peripherals are Corsair Scimitar Elite

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

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.

Also, why does PLD have so many buttons.

This layout is meant to be used with any sort of MMO mouse that has 12 buttons on the side. I chose 4x3 bars so that the layout represents the button layout on my mouse.

Bar 1 encompasses your single-target rotation. I was aiming for as little thumb movement as possible, so for the most part, you'll be zig-zagging along the side of the mouse: 1-2-3 combo into FoF & Req/Imperator, then back to the FoF button for Goring Blade, then CoC/Exp, then jumping back to Confiteor with Intervene woven in. Your filler attacks are assigned to the final row.

First version of Azeron layout. Hotbar 3 is center row of buttons, 1 & 2 are upper flick buttons, 4 & 5 are squeeze buttons. Actions on the upper halves of hotbars are shift (nub click) + 1-4 (pinky-pointer). Hotbar 4 sides are shift and outer buttons.

Youtuber 99_Vit bars from what I could see modded for my preferred layout

Might keep Goring Blade where is currently is depending on how I feel

PLD Layout 6.55 (Not 7.0-Able)
LT>RT remapped from Set 8 Left to Set 8 Right, only right half of Set 8 is used
Set 1 - Primary Skills / Defensive CDs ; Set 2 - Utility + Situational CDs ; Set 8 - AoE / DPS CDs / Major Defensives

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.

No new buttons.

Preliminary 7.0 Setup

Countdown Macro for slot LT, LT D-Pad Left

/cd 15

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"

Layout created by the YouTuber Squintina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3LA7ap4gM0 with some adaptations.

This hotbar is pulled from Gingergaming's channel and is used for myself with some modifications to remove macro usage.

Paladin Hotbar v.1

(by the way, I have mapped my hotbars to bumpers instead of triggers, so instead of "RT (R2)", think "RB (R1)". It is much easier on my hands to hold R1 instead of R2 lol)

Shirk, Cover, and Intervention are all macro'd to <2>

For players using mainly mmo mouse HB1 mouse 123... (for single target then AOE) HB2 CTRL+123... (for damage reduction) HB3 QERFXCV SHIFT+890... (for control and heal and things) HB4 GH (hidden)

Danee’s tried and true set-up for Paladin.

Notes: XHB 3 is shared, and contains the stance buttons for the other three tank jobs as well. Shield Bash is purposefully left out, because Low Blow makes it redundant and there’s no space to fit it anymore.

HB 1: [top row] 1 2 3 4 Shift+1 Shift+2 [bottom row] Q E R F Z X

[[Ctrl + numRow is hardbound to MMO-mouse]]

I'm a small streamer that loves FFXIV and many other things. The XHBs I publish are solely how I personally like to organize my Hotbars when on the controller! Feel free to use them if you too like them! Some are thrown together and some are planned out.

PLD as of 6.4
