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.

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

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.

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.

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Lvl 100 Paladin XHB made by a ps5 player

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

Work in Progress

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

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.

XHB 1 Single target XHB 2 Group target

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!
