I am not a great tank, but I do play WAR in solo content at times and this is the layout I came up with that works for me. Not updated for 7.0.

This is very likely a tweak of one of Squintina's WHM layouts - I was heavily influenced by her when I started playing WHM. I have changed some things to better suit my style. Updated for 7.0.

The Dye icon on hotbar 3 is Eurekan Potion, as I sometimes do play WHM in Eureka.

Single target on chotbar 1, AoE on chotbar 2. I change using the right bumper button (R1) and sit on the chotbar as needed. Possibly based on Squintina's layout with tweaks, I can't remember if I got my original layout from her or not.

Not updated for 7.0. Putting this up for a friend (and so I can transfer my chotbar to my alts)

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.

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!

A SMN layout that makes sense for my brain and how I play. Single Target on main, AoE on hotbar 2, which I usually switch to by hitting right bumper (R1) and then staying on that hotbar as needed.

Updated for 7.0!

Pot goes on Bar 3 Down D-Pad Raise uses Macro

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

Black is right, white is left. there's still a lot of flexibility here, but this is more or less what works for me

I have my hotbars set up so that pressing R1 toggles between hotbars 1 and 2, with hotbar 3 as the WXHB.

"1" icon is Aether Compass, "2" icon is Gysahl Greens.

Keybinds for those interested.

I use an mmo mouse so 1-6 on all bars are pressed on the mouse, uisng shift and ctrl for bar 2 and 3. The latter 6 on all bars are pressed uisng the keyboard and shift/ctrl.

Hotbars for Lv60 Red Mage.

Hotbar 1: White mana on the left side, black mana on the right side. Single target above, AoEs below. Both/neutral down the middle. I used to put acceleration on Hotbar 3, but it's better this way for quick succession to the relevant actions.

Hotbar 2 (ctrl): The 1-2-3 melee combo on top. I usually have my gap close/make on those two middle positions. Sleep, lucid, cure, and the DPS buff are just rollovers from my old hotbar as Summoner, my first job, and that was before I put more thought into hotbar setups. AoE and run+gun spenders on the bottom row.

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. I would add Second Wind in the missing slot. I use Hotbars 2 & 10 but you can use any Hotbars you want.

for RDM, there are only 6 spells, so you could put them all on 1 column; I don't do this because of how I have my UI setup to accommodate multiple job setups.

RDM as of 6.5

Gain Vice of Thorns. (Uncouple from Embolden. Auto-attack as placeholder.)

Gain Cineration. (Uncouple from Manafication if possible?)

Might change this

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)
