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)

Thought Process

• GCDs on face buttons for easy movement while pressing-
• WXHB and Expanded shared on XHB 2 so can see Expanded cooldowns
• Left trigger, XHB 1 starts opener
  • rear positional on bottom buttons and flank on side
• Right trigger bar is mainly used for filler GCDs and the reawaken part of the burst
• duplicate actions because we have so much space so trying to limit having to swap triggers and help with weaves
• AOE on bar 3 to switch to when needed saves room (not really needed, just a habit from other jobs)
• sprint on L3
• macro on XHB 2 is pot

Shoutout to Fyuria Tsukimori & Nanaki.

Single target on XHB 1 AOE on XHB 2

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

I like to keep all my single target on the right trigger and AoE on the left trigger.

Looking into the current flow for 7.05 this seems like it should work and keep the placement of buttons matching the layout of the bars in the UI.

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

WIP

Updated for latest patch

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)
