Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

my weird layout mapped to 1,2,3,4,q,e,r,t,f,g,c,v

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

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

Somewhat adjusted in game

Bars 1-2 are on the number row (1 through =), with 2 being Ctrl+[key]. The general idea being either that the action on bar 1 leads to that on bar 2, or bar 2 is bar 1 but AoE or stronger or something of the sort. Bars 3-4 are on the numpad, and doubly so mapped on the side buttons on my mouse, with 4 being Ctrl+[key], although bar 4 is generally just assorted things for all classes to use.

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

Lv50 Hotbar for Bard.

Bottom bar has no modifiers Middle bar has control modifier Top bar has shift modifier

Bar 1: 1 2 3 4 Bar 2: Q E R X Bar 3: F C V T

Waiting for the new action images to get added in to fully get this good

Make sure to change Double tap L2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Left" and Double tap R2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Right"

No changes

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.
