Similar to SCH and SGE layouts, role actions in the same place, DPS, solo and group heal actions easy to find.

WiP Based on BunBoss and SGE/WHM hotbar layouts

Machinist hotbar inspired by bun boss on YT, but made some changes to align better with my DNC layout

Single Target on the right, AOE on the left, movement on LT > RT

Crosshotbar for fire and ice phases with single target on the right and AOE rotation on the left side

BLM WXHB with ice and fire rotations on separate sides.

Full Fisher WXHB I ran out of space to add other gatherer skills, but this is easy use for spear fishing on the 1LT and general fishing on all the other XHBs.

Full gatherer setup, identical to the BTN one. Left side XHB 2 is missing the following skills: Fathom Truth of Oceans Shark Eye Shark Eye 2 Triangulate Truth of Forests Arbor Call Arbor Call 2 (I have these on for Diadem gathering)

Basic WXHB Setup. Missing the following skills on 2LT: Fathom Truth of Oceans Shark Eye Shark Eye 2 Prospect Truth of Mountains Lay of the Land Lay of the Land 2 (I have these on for Diadem gathering trips)

Progress actions on the right, quality actions on the left, specialist actions on the expanded hotbar. Crafter skills are the same across all classes, this can be used by all crafters

Draft for potential crossover between other tank jobs by keeping similar skills on the same buttons

this layout works for levelling from RDM unlock through Dawntrail. main crossbar is your single target spells & burst rotation, and the 2nd has your AOE spells

Keybinds for those interested.

I use an mmo mouse so 1-6 on all bars are pressed on the mouse, uisng shift and ctrl for bar 2 and 3. The latter 6 on all bars are pressed uisng the keyboard and shift/ctrl.

Based on Squintina's layout, but with tweaks that fit my brain better. ST on chotbar 1, AoE on chotbar 2. I hit R1 (right bumper) to change to the AoE and sit on that chotbar as needed. Since RDM is my Eureka job, I have Eureka Potion set to chotbar 3, LDU.

Lvl 100 Red Mage XHB made by a ps5 player

Black is right, white is left. there's still a lot of flexibility here, but this is more or less what works for me

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. I would add Second Wind in the missing slot. I use Hotbars 2 & 10 but you can use any Hotbars you want.

for RDM, there are only 6 spells, so you could put them all on 1 column; I don't do this because of how I have my UI setup to accommodate multiple job setups.

Thought Process

• melee and spells separated
• Tried to place ogcds near their rotation/burst gcds (e.g. embolden near melee combo, pot near spells for opener, etc)
• Fleche and C6 duplicated to make drifting harder
• spell relevant actions near spells (e.g. lucid, instants)
• macro icon is placeholder for pots
• Expanded XHB on HB 2 shared with WXHB to see cooldowns, use whichever you feel comfortable using. I just think double tapping is annoying :)

RDM as of 6.5

The VerHotbar

Might change this

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

I have my hotbars set up so that pressing R1 toggles between hotbars 1 and 2, with hotbar 3 as the WXHB.

"1" icon is Aether Compass, "2" icon is Gysahl Greens.
