First attempt to make panels for MMO mouse with 2 3x4 hotbars and 1 6x2 for utility

Work In Progress. Squintina-like PCT panels.

panels for MMO mouse with 2 3x4 hotbars and 1 6x2 for utility

this layout works for levelling from RDM unlock through Dawntrail. main crossbar is your single target spells & burst rotation, and the 2nd has your AOE spells

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

These are my RDM hotbars, very much a WIP, Hopefully you enjoy :)

Almost Entirely Based on boatium's Personal MMO Mouse RDM: https://www.xivbars.com/job/RDM/5141

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

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)

Based on Squintina's layout, but with tweaks that fit my brain better. ST on chotbar 1, AoE on chotbar 2. I hit R1 (right bumper) to change to the AoE and sit on that chotbar as needed. Since RDM is my Eureka job, I have Eureka Potion set to chotbar 3, LDU.

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.

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.

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

Up and down on the Dpad are the left and right back paddle respectively.

XHB 3 can the accessed with either LTRT or RTLT

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

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.
