Dawntrail DRG hotbar setup!

XHB 1 Single target XHB 2 Multiple target

With the Dawntrail update, a lot of the dragoon actions have been condensed. Try it out!

• Buffs on top. (Ordered according to the optimal rotation)
• Weaponskills in the middle. ("Cross" shape on both sides)
• oGCD attacks below. (Parallel to top oGCD buffs)
• Extras in top corners, sides. (General: `~ 7 , Job: Ins H )
• Role actions on shift. (Prefer AQWRTG but ZXCV available)
• Consumables on alt. (Potion: Alt+W, Tincture: Alt+R) (Companion actions = placeholders)

[Hotbar 2] Left fingers: Ring or Pinky 1 2 3 Tab Q W Ins A `~ Z X C

My basic layout for all jobs. Hotbar 1 single target, hotbar 2 AOE. The focus of each is their respective core GCDs, and then I mimic the OGCD on each so switching isn't required unless going from AOE to single target situations or vice versa. Nastrond is used quite a lot in double weaves so I have it on both sides for ease of access. Expanded hotbar 3 for job specific potions, food, movement, role actions, extras I want access to regardless of single target or aoe situations. Hotbar 4 is shared quick access to whatever ya want on the WXHB.

Hotbars for Lv60 Dragoon.

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 Piercing Talon and Battle Litany is a health Pot.

General notes:

• Frequently used abilities or important ones to use while moving go on the face buttons
• AoE versions of things go on expanded hotbar
• Only using one expanded hotbar so no LT>RT vs. RT>LT confusion during combat
• Infrequently used abilities go on WXHB
• Star button on WXHB is a focus target macro

Dragoon notes:

• Base combos move in circles A-X-Y-B and then opposite B, making for smooth, circular movements that are easy to maintain during mechanics
• oGCDs are arranged across LT and RT halves such that the important ones can be duplicated on the expanded hotbar in identical positions
  • This makes it easy to quickly hit them even while you're on the "wrong" hotbar half (e.g., doing the Chaotic Spring combo and you need to hit High Jump/Mirage Dive)
  • Also makes it easy to monitor cooldowns (except long-cooldown buffs Lance Charge and Battle Litany) while the expanded hotbar is displayed
• Wyrmwind Thrust on LT since it should usually go with Chaotic Spring combo unless the rotation gets messed up, and Stardiver next to Geirskogul
