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.

Just copied Nanaki's

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

Hotbars for Lv60 Red Mage.

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

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.

Might change this

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.
