The job with the least amount of buttons in the game It was extremely difficult to get this symmetrical

Spineshatter Dive = Winged Glide

Dragon Sight = Drakesbane

Not changes for new abilities, but changed to better fit new hotbar layout

Shoha II is gone (finally) which allows all skills to fit on 2 and 2/3 hotbars

Nothing much changed

Huraijin is gone and replaced with Hide (which is even more useless)

Nothing changes

DPS Icon 1 = Last Dance

No changes

Requires splitting Tempura to make it look aesthetic

Aethercharge = Lux Solaris

Fire II = Flare Star

Rough Divide = Trajectory

Healer Icon 1 = Aurora MO Macro

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Pot goes on Bar 3 Down D-Pad Raise uses Macro

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.

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)

Hotbars for Lv60 Red Mage.

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

The VerHotbar

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

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

Hotbar 1: White mana on the left side, black mana on the right side. Single target above, AoEs below. Both/neutral down the middle. I used to put acceleration on Hotbar 3, but it's better this way for quick succession to the relevant actions.

Hotbar 2 (ctrl): The 1-2-3 melee combo on top. I usually have my gap close/make on those two middle positions. Sleep, lucid, cure, and the DPS buff are just rollovers from my old hotbar as Summoner, my first job, and that was before I put more thought into hotbar setups. AoE and run+gun spenders on the bottom row.

Current WIP for updated hotbars in 7.0, focusing on minimising swapping hotbars in combat and keeping visual clarity on relevant buff cooldowns and maximising consistency across all jobs. Bar 1 is for single target, and Bar 2 for AoE.

The Glamour Plate button is being used in place of the newly added skill as needed, and the dye represents potion. Sprint and LB are macroed to L3/R3 respectively.
