My current SAM hotbar layout as of 7.05

HOTBAR LAYOUT/DESIGN LOGIC:

--- Single-target actions/abilities = Right side

--- Multi-target actions/abilities = Left side

--- Situational actions/abilities = Right-side WXHB

--- "Occasional"/"If the situation calls for it" actions/abilities = Left-side WXHB

--- This setup/design is to allow for quick and easy access, even during hectic fights, to all necessary actions/abilities for full Lv.100 opener and typical rotation (along with allowing flexibility for "Meikyo Acceleration").  This also includes a place for Strength potion to be used during opener/re-opener.

--- SPECIAL NOTE #1: I have Bloodbath macro'd with Second Wind on my right-side WXHB (primarily due to button bloat, and since, if you were going to Second Wind anyway, you'd probably already/also want/need Bloodbath).

--- SPECIAL NOTE #2: All 3 standard combo finishers are duplicated on right and left sides for RT->LT & LT->RT (in same positions) for ease of access when quickly moving between abilities for opener/re-opener and typical rotation.  In my experience, this setup significantly reduces input errors (due to trying to quickly switch sides and then immediately trying to access and use buttons on expanded XHB, which can often lead to "input confusion" which results in executing an ability in the exact same button position as your desired XHB button just before you switched from RT or LT).

I'll make updates, if and when necessary, as I get more experience with SAM or if I learn something better from what others have done to make SAM as flexible as possible on the controller.
