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)

How I set up my crossbars as a Samurai on steamdeck (Currently level ~70)

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

Pretty easy to follow

Valen Bree

Preliminary cross bar

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

Set 'Ikishoten' Action Change Setting 'Enable recast timer to prevent erroneous input' to OFF.

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

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.

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

SHING SHING SHING

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"

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