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

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

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

Roughly inspired by bun guide but some changes for improved accessibility and consistency between all melee classes.

These are my SCH hotbars, very much a WIP, Hopefully you enjoy :)

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)

This layout is based on the ease of use (for the most part) and grouping of relevant buttons. Overall i try to keep insta casts on the face buttons to enable mobility.

RT (R) - is for insta spells for movement. also the the placements within the RT group allow for the Crit-Adlo-deploy combo with ease.

I show Cross Hotbar 3 (Left) with both of the expanded trigger controls, so you can easily add in another 8 actions if you prefer, I use XHB 8 as a shared bar between all classes for traversal and general actions outside of combat. Role actions are consistent among my layouts, and so are general actions.

Healer icon = Seraphism

##For General Content (not tested with Extreme/Savage)

I have trouble remembering what's in my 2nd crossbar, so I always copy 2 to 3. Until I decided to play Scholar XD

SCH - 7.0 Dawntrail

SCH Layout 6.55 (Not 7.0-Able)
LT>RT remapped from Set 8 Left to Set 8 Right, only right half of Set 8 is used
Set 1 - Primary Heals/CDs ; Set 2 - Utility + Raise ; Set 8 - DPS / Heal CDs

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Note: Sprint and Limit Break should be on a Shared Hotbar!!!

Ally-targeted abilities are placed on the D-pad because you will already be using the D-pad to scroll through the party list and select your target. Most GCDs, untargeted buffs/heals, and mobility tools are placed on the face buttons so they are easy to access while moving.

Core damage actions are placed on the RT and RT>LT bars, including Aetherflow and Dissipation. Lossless faerie heals are placed on the RT and RT>LT bars since they should be prioritized over "lossy" Aetherflow and GCD heals. The LT and LT>RT bars mostly consist of lossy healing actions and related abilities.
