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

Gain Cineration. (Uncouple from Manafication if possible?)

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.

SGE Layout Pre-7.0

6.55 Layout (Removed after 7.0 launch) : Here
LT>RT remapped from Set 8 Left to Set 8 Right, only right half of Set 8 is used
Set 1 - Primary Heals/CDs ; Set 2 - Utility + Raise ; Set 8 - DPS / Heal CDs

UPDATES

Numbers correlate to Macros
0 Psyche
1 Philosophia
Set 8 Left - Removed Abilities
This set has been adjusted to be in line with my WHM 7.0 Preliminary

Make sure to change Double tap L2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Left" and Double tap R2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Right"

Still learning best ways to access what I use most, but this so far feels like the best flow to me.

Sage

After coming back to game pre 7.0, June 2024

Damage on right, single-target heals on left, buffs in center, AOE heals on double-right.

Friend asked for a layout

Just copied Nanaki's

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.

General notes:

• "Main" hotbar is RT
• Frequently used abilities or important ones to use while moving go on the face buttons
• AoE versions of things go on expanded hotbar
• Only using one expanded hotbar so no LT>RT vs. RT>LT confusion during combat
• Infrequently used abilities go on WXHB
• Star button on WXHB is a focus target macro

Sage-specific notes:

• Sage has lots of single-target vs. AoE abilities, so placement on expanded hotbar mirrors this (Dosis/Dyskrasia, Diagonosis/Prognosis, Taurochole/Kerachole, Druochole/Ixochole, Haima/Panhaima)
• Philosophia placement mirrors that of Soteria (LT vs. LT-LT)
• Krasis on d-pad down to make it easy to cycle down to the tank and target them for it (down, down, RT+down)
  • Remember to adjust your party list job priority!
• Zoe and Pneuma next to each other since they usually get used together
• Eukrasia on WXHB is a macro to turn it off
• Speech button on WXHB is a macro to indicate Swiftcast cooldown (i.e., when I will attempt to res again)
