for each job, I create a "hotbar" that is basically a monitor for cooldowns/any spell/skill 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.

This is what use as of now, I throw pots and stuff on the WXHB LT DPAD.

I have some spells on here twice for easy access during some rotations.

Splorp splorp splorp, pretty picture!!

My final layout after several ex-trial/normal raid runs. I prefer expanded XHB over WXHB because it allows faster access compared to double tap.

First attempt to make panels for MMO mouse with 2 3x4 hotbars and 1 6x2 for utility

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

New job, so no changes log

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)

Hotbar 1, single target. Main raid bar.

Hotbar 2, utility, buffs, repeats Accessed via expanded controls

• Squeezing both triggers

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

• for G600 mmo mouse
• addle on f1 and surecast on f3
• combo on same buttons as other classes as not to get confused, also my fingers rest naturally on those buttons
• aoe combos on second bar to match the other jobs
• canvas actions at the top of the first bar
• shield mirrors shield placement on SMN
• might move swiftcast around

Right side of LT/RT for instant cast actions, to make movement easier. Left side for things with cast timers and Scenic Muse, which has a long cooldown.

RT, RT for actions that are used less frequently (or that I haven't unlocked and don't have a home for yet). LT, LT is the standard layout for my ranged/caster DPS classes.
