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.

SCH - 7.0 Dawntrail

Just copied Nanaki's

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.

from bun boss video

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

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

Macro0: Sacred Soil <me>

Macro1: Chain Stratagem <t>/ Energy Drain

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)

Gain Seraphism. (Teleport as placeholder.)

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