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. The macro icon is a placeholder for a Tincture/Gemdraught.

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)

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

Almost Entirely Based on kazazel's BRD MMO: https://www.xivbars.com/job/BRD/5551

Bard

Hey everyone! This is my pvp hotbar for my bard! Since some these actions can only be cast under the effect of repertoire ill note what the normal buttons are (they dont seem to be available in the icon page

Blast Arrow -> Apex Arrow | Empyreal Arrow -> Harmonic Arrow | Pitch Perfect -> Powerful Shot | Final Fantasia -> Encore of Light |

Somewhat adjusted in game

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"
