Putting this up for a friend. I'm not a great tank so this is probably not optimal and/or is missing stuff. Not updated for 7.0.

Lost my saved settings and have to adjust and set up the entire game from scratch. Dimly remember my layout but it'll probably change from here. Also have a normal hotbar for out of focus cooldown overview.

Designed with minimal swapping between 1 and 2. Most GCD on the non-D pad to help with attacking and moving. Hotbar 8 L and R are same so no thinking. Hotbar 1 is Single target while Hotbar 2 is AOE minded. Hotbar 2 has mount + sprint so keep in mind. Dye = Pot for raiders, if not than whatever you want. Enabled customization when weapon is drawn/sheathed Hotbar 1 + 2. That means hotbar 3 you will manually have to switch to if you need stuff on there. part of my Tank series where similar skills are in the same spots and play roughly in same style. Please Enjoy!

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

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

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

XHB 1 Single target XHB 2 Group target

Lvl 100 Paladin XHB made by a ps5 player

Circle macro is where I put my Strength Potions. Tank 1 macro is an Intervention macro targeting <2> Shirk is also a macro targeting <2> Bread icon is where I put my food. Shield icon near bread icon is Countdown macro. X macro is /cd to cancel countdown macros. Shield Lob is currently unbound, but put it wherever you find comfy.

I have a normal hotbar above my main XHB to show the cooldowns of: Hallowed Ground, Wings, Intervene, Sprint.

PLD hotbars based on my GNB hotbars. I use a macro to combine both stuns. Note: I play PLD less than GNB so room for improvements, but wanted all the similar moves to be in the same spots.

Work in Progress

I use macro for quick release Intervention and Shirk to MT example below.

/ac Intervention /ac Intervention <2> /micon Intervention
