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

Gain Cineration. (Uncouple from Manafication if possible?)

Gain Searing Flash. (Decouple from Searing Light. Teleport as placeholder.)

No new buttons otherwise.

Gain Full Metal Field. (Decouple from Barrel Stabilizer. Teleport as placeholder.)

Seems like that's about it.

Gain Last Dance. (Teleport as Placeholder. Not actually too sure if this is a new button.)

Maybe play with where Saber Dance, Last Dance, Starfall Dance, and Fan Dance IV are. Might feel bad to hit those buttons in those locations.

Auto-attack is Pitch Perfect. Keep that seperate.

Gain Resonant Arrow as a follow-up from Barrage. (Uncouple as a follow-up. Down arrow macro icon as placeholder.)

No real changes. Unfortunately.

Lose Huraijin.

No new buttons.

Lose Anatman.

Not much change otherwise.

Spineshatter Dive replaced with Winged Glide.

Not much change.

Gain Psyche. (Jump as placeholder.)

Gain Philosophia. (Teleport as placeholder.)

Lose Astrodyne, Draw, Redraw, Undraw, Play.

Gain Astral/Umbral Draw. (Draw as placeholder.)

Gain Seraphism. (Teleport as placeholder.)

Pretty easy to follow

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.

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.

Preliminary cross bar

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"

Work In Progress SAM controller setup

things to note: I am a casual player and have set this as a draft setup, subject to change on testing, please use as a template. Main XHB is 1, WXHB is 2 and expanded XHB is 3. for simplicity will now be abbreviated to HB1, HB2 and HB3. HB3 is shared on all classes for me, on DPS second wind is always on the same spot RT+ LT + Y along with mount, teleport etc (not shown).

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)
