Basic skills on right, AOE on left, buffs on cross.

It's just easy for me this way

Fury generators on the right, fury spenders on the left. Need I say more?

Monk Cross Hotbar setup based from Bun Boss FFXIV on Youtube as of Sep 15, 2022 (except expanded XHB which I regularly access).

From Bun Boss video but slighly modified

monk hurts my brain don't take this hotbar seriously it's most likely not optimal, it works for me when i've had my food and water and sleep

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

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

Form Shift - Dragon Kick - Twin Snakes - Demolish - Bootshine - True Strike - Snap Punch (this is the best opener and single target attack gives you all the buffs)

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)
