Similar to SCH and SGE layouts, role actions in the same place, DPS, solo and group heal actions easy to find.

WiP Based on BunBoss and SGE/WHM hotbar layouts

Machinist hotbar inspired by bun boss on YT, but made some changes to align better with my DNC layout

Machinist hotbar inspired by bun boss on YT, but made some changes to align better with my DNC layout

Single Target on the right, AOE on the left, movement on LT > RT

Crosshotbar for fire and ice phases with single target on the right and AOE rotation on the left side

BLM WXHB with ice and fire rotations on separate sides.

Full Fisher WXHB I ran out of space to add other gatherer skills, but this is easy use for spear fishing on the 1LT and general fishing on all the other XHBs.

Full gatherer setup, identical to the BTN one. Left side XHB 2 is missing the following skills: Fathom Truth of Oceans Shark Eye Shark Eye 2 Triangulate Truth of Forests Arbor Call Arbor Call 2 (I have these on for Diadem gathering)

Basic WXHB Setup. Missing the following skills on 2LT: Fathom Truth of Oceans Shark Eye Shark Eye 2 Prospect Truth of Mountains Lay of the Land Lay of the Land 2 (I have these on for Diadem gathering trips)

Progress actions on the right, quality actions on the left, specialist actions on the expanded hotbar. Crafter skills are the same across all classes, this can be used by all crafters

Roughly inspired by bun guide but some changes for improved accessibility and consistency between all melee classes.

Peripherals are Corsair Scimitar Elite

All jobs will follow a similar pattern to make job transitioning simple and not so overwhelming

Hotbar 1: The good ol 1-2-3 combo on top, then the single + AoE oGCDs along the right side, then the legacy spot for Sprint. Next row down is AoE 1-2 combo. Then next row is the ranged and gap close, which thankfully still works as a free damage button in 7.0. Then the two bursties.

Hotbar 2 (ctrl): A few oddities in here. Top left is the burst hitter. Next is technically the alternative 3 in the 1-2-3 combo, since it felt more fluent to press 1, 2, ctrl+2. Next is the single-target spender. This was just built on the rotations as I leveled up and placed these actions accordingly. On row 2, bloodwhetting and the AoE spender just had to be neighbours. Row 3 has the job-specific mitigations, although now that I re-read the tooltip, Thrill and Bloodwhetting could be great vertical neighbours. Row 4 has the straight up heal, low recast time shield-a-friend, and team shield.

How I set up my crossbars as a warrior on steamdeck (Currently level ~65)

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

I use a mmo gaming mouse from razer called the Naga, the 3x4 grid is the exact layout as my mouse buttons. Hot bar 2 goes like this from left to right, top to bottom: 1, 2, 3, 4, Q, E, R, T, 5, -, =. The - and = are left and right on my mouse wheel, 5 is reserved for long cooldowns. Hot bar 3 is the same as 2 but with shift being held. The empty item between Tomahawk and Holmgang is a health Pot

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Equipment

This layout is designed around the following hardware:

Maximum movement hotbars. Most common/important ability on face button. Gropued by sections: Defensives, Final combo GCDs + 25 sec, Tank functions, AOE, gap closers and range attack ect.

I am not a great tank, but I do play WAR in solo content at times and this is the layout I came up with that works for me. Not updated for 7.0.

Single target on RT + face buttons, AOE on LT + face buttons

Damage mitigation on LT + D pad, barriers and healing on double LT + face buttons
