An improvement on my previous comfort layout for more ease-of-use for the re-awaken combo

Make sure to change Double tap L2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Left" and Double tap R2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Right"

Otherwise going to play around with this to see if I can make it better for me

What I've been using up through level 100 into both EX1 and EX2. Served me very well and hope it helps you too!

Pot is the Potion Macro icon, food is the food macro icon.

1:1 with reaper button layout hotkeys picture. Dread maw and steel maw can be flipped for convenience. Coils too. Dread maw and Steel maw can be switched with twinfang and twinblood. Pit of dread twice for extra freedom.

Dreadwinder on soulslice for muscle memory and cooldown button, move to somewhere you can stare at it easily to track cd AND press it.

i love this set up it allows for easy access to to ogcds whatever trigger you are holding. also easy reawaken combo and gcds are on face buttons so its easier to move while attacking

A setup that tries to keep dual-wield on one trigger and twinblade on another. AOE mirrors on hotbar 3, anything common to ST and AOE is reached via extended hotbar L2-R2/R2-L2

All important combo GCDs and oGCDs are on the face buttons for max mobility while weaving/doing positionals

I tend to put AOEs on the D-pad since they aren’t as important but Viper actually has more AOE GCDs than most jobs, so Pit of Dread (aoe Twinblade starter) was able to get a spot on the R2 + Square since there was real estate.

Utilizing Main XHB, WXHB and Expanded XHB

XHB RT = Single Target Normal

Built around RT Single Target LT AoE split, with most class buttons on the face buttons (A,B,X,Y), and role buttons on the D-Pad. Several buttons doubled to maintain comfortable play between AoE and Single Target combos. Assumes Sprint on L3 macro. Limit Break placed where I would have it if I didn't have a controller with keyboard command programmable buttons.

This layout puts most of the work on the face buttons and being comfortable with switching between Expanded and WXHB

Hotbar 1 covers all single target actions and all role actions. Hotbar 2 covers all AoE actions and all role actions.

Hotbar 5 contains the few shared skills that don't fit on hotbar 1/2, along with Limit Break. Twinfang/Twinblood are behind the skills that activate them.

My starter Viper hotbar for Dawntrail, designed to be played with an MMO mouse.

Updated for latest patch

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)
