White Mage Hotbar Layouts and Guides

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD LILY

Valen Bree

Bars 1, 4 are the main bars. Bar 1 for single target damage and single target healing. Bar 4 for multi-target damage and multi-target healing.
I try to keep the same category of ability on the placement between these two bars, so for instance, Regen/Medica II are on the same relative position as they both provide regen. The same with Cure and Cure II versus Medica and Cure III for non-regen heals.

Left Expanded XHB bar is for less frequently used heals with long cooldowns or heals that use a resource like blood lilly. These are also placed on a standard non-XHB bar visible at all times, so I can see their cooldowns even when I don't have it selected. The exlaimation point macro there is an experiment I'm trying which combines swiftcast with an all-classes raise. I've not had a chance to use it yet for all of them, so I keep it there alongside my actual raise ability as a backup.

The layout I use for my WHM, will most likely change if I run into issues while attempting harder content.

All hotbar keybinds are arranged as follows
1: QERF
2: CV12
3: 345T

Personal setup for my WHM

Just copied Nanaki's

Bars stacked with bar 1 on bottom and 4 on top

Bar 1 binds are generic, 2 uses [Ctrl]+, 3 uses [Shift]+, 4 uses [Alt]+

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

A controller layout for comfort and efficiency

Macro 0: Asylum <me>

Macro1: Liturgy of the Bell <me>

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Hotbars for Lv60 White Mage.

Macro0: Asylum <me>

Macro1: Liturgy of the Bell <me>

If it was possible, but it isn't. Too bad. I wish there was only 16 Instant/OGCd spells. -WHM with a bad left thumb

I try to move my index fingers as little as possible while playing. Nothing really on LTLT or RTRT because I fumble that input like crazy. My pointers aren't so great either it turns out.

How I set up my crossbars as a white mage on steamdeck (Currently level ~70)

I try to play every classes/jobs, thus I tend to reuse same slots for same "functionality" across jobs.

This is very likely a tweak of one of Squintina's WHM layouts - I was heavily influenced by her when I started playing WHM. I have changed some things to better suit my style. Updated for 7.0.

The Dye icon on hotbar 3 is Eurekan Potion, as I sometimes do play WHM in Eureka.

CrossHotbar para iniciantes eu acho Cross 4 esta em todas jobs

My white mage crosshotbars. ! macro is "/target <f> tank macro is "/target <2>

Healer hotbar- 5/5 Ultimate clears on WHM I do not use arrow key extended LTLT RTRT personally do not like them.

RTRT Lilybell and Asylum are macros

Configuração que uso de WHM jogando pelo console, usando a configuração de EXPANDED XHB, usando as combinações de R1>L1 e L1>R1, fica fácil acessar a a segunda barra e ter acesso a todo o kit do WHM a disposição.

Made this for a friend.

Note: I haven't leveled this up to 100 yet.

Hotbar 1: Starting with the single target filler, regen, and DoT on the first row. Next row has the WHM-specific actions. The rest is the same: heal, weak AoE heal (in case of sync-down), esuna, zoomies, weak heal (ONLY for sync-downs that the normal heal isn't there), sprint.

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.

I've watched Bun Boss and a few others to get an idea of how things should flow on controller. This is a setup that works for me and I wanted to share it! I like to keep things consistent across my jobs.

WHM Layout Pre-7.0

6.55 Layout (Removed after 7.0 launch) : Here
LT>RT remapped from Set 8 Left to Set 8 Right, only right half of Set 8 is used
Set 1 - Primary Heals/CD ; Set 2 - Utility + Raise ; Set 8 - DPS / Heal CD

UPDATES

Numbers correlate to Macros
0 Aetherial Shift
Set 8 Left - Removed Abilities
This set has been adjusted to be in line with my SGE 7.0 Preliminary

My WHM

Sprint = Aetherial Shift

Endwalker 90 White Mage

L2 + DP: Rez Actions

this is the main bar all my others are based upon

6 button mmo mouse

WHM 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/CD ; Set 2 - Utility + Raise ; Set 8 - DPS / Heal CD

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.

Gain Aetherial Shift. (Teleport as Placeholder)

Waiting for the new action images to get added in to fully get this good

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

Endwalker Lvl90 White Mage

These are my whm hotbars for all non-pvp content.

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

not the best probs but it slays for me ✨

Bun Boss White Mage heavily modified for my needs.

Xbox Controller

Weapon Sheathed -> 1 & 2 (Most Used General type actions) Weapon Drawn -> 3

Made as a modification to BunBoss settings in order to better fit my own comfort with controller

/micon Asylum

/merror off

for when u need to use everything at your disposal--or want to suffer some severe psychic damage.

From Bun Boss video

My current level 50 hotbar

personal layout 6.55

Trying to logically place things for my brain and my layouts for other healers :) Most important buttons are in 1-9. 10-12 are rarely used or important button presses.

prolly a nicer layout, given frequency of button presses

White Mage Cross Hotbar setup based from Bun Boss FFXIV on Youtube as of May 20, 2022 (except expanded XHB which I regularly access).

WHM Layout

The XHB setup I use for my White Mage. 1-3 are unique to WHM, all else are shared between all jobs. XHB4's LT->RT pane is a selection of emotes. XHB7 is my job selector.

White Mage for Patch 6.21. Optimized for non-Lily use. Rev 1 - 9/22/22

I'm a small streamer that loves FFXIV and many other things. The XHBs I publish are solely how I personally like to organize my Hotbars when on the controller! Feel free to use them if you too like them! Some are thrown together and some are planned out.
