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 dye represents potion, and Sprint and LB are macroed to L3/R3 respectively.

Uses XHB, double tap, LT->RT(which are almost the same for muscle memory). Also uses a bar for cooldowns you cant see on LT->RT

Uses sheathe weapon layouts too for run, food, teles, etc

2 is for AOE combo > stays at the top 1 is for Standard combo (single target) > main bar 3 is for Role skills

I don't use this job

This setup is optimized to my style of play. I tried to minimize the amount of movement my trigger fingers do cause I get tired.

My starter Viper hotbar for Dawntrail, designed to be played with an MMO mouse.

i love this set up it allows for easy access to to ogcds whatever trigger you are holding. also easy reawaken combo and gcds are on face buttons so its easier to move while attacking

Utilizing Main XHB, WXHB and Expanded XHB

XHB RT = Single Target Normal

Shoutout to Fyuria Tsukimori & Nanaki.

Single target on XHB 1 AOE on XHB 2

Hissss

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)

Comfy layout with all frequently used skill in easy to press range

A controller layout for comfort and efficiency

An improvement on my previous comfort layout for more ease-of-use for the re-awaken combo

truly comfy layout for ease of use
