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

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.

Peripherals are Corsair Scimitar Elite

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

WIP for current warrior hotbar. Expanded XHB is enabled both LT - RT and RT - LT are set to Right 2. This allows for easy access to mits/healing regardless of which side of the HB you are working on. Right side for single target, left side for AOE, top bars for lesser used actions roughly based on the single target/aoe split.

Note: Sprint and Limit Break should be on a Shared Hotbar!!!

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Equipment

This layout is designed around the following hardware:

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.

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.

For Fellcleaves Georg

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.
