The new DNC Layout I'm testing 05/22/24

My personal XHB for raiding Extreme, Savage and Ultimate. But also works for normal use.

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)

My dancer crosshotbars

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

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.

Single target on right, AOE on left, dances and buffs on cross.

Gain Last Dance. (Teleport as Placeholder. Not actually too sure if this is a new button.)

Maybe play with where Saber Dance, Last Dance, Starfall Dance, and Fan Dance IV are. Might feel bad to hit those buttons in those locations.

DPS Icon 1 = Last Dance

Puts most of the strain on the left hand, and off of the right.

for each job, I create a "hotbar" that is basically a monitor for any spell/skill/cooldowns I want to see the status of; I also have a hotbar with Role spells & skills, and, Sprint. These are the spells I have for Dawntrail. I use Hotbars 2 & 10 but you can use any Hotbars you want.

RT single target, buffs

RT LT aoe, healing
