Endwalker Lvl90 Bard

Have Sprint, Peleton, Mount, Return, and Teleport on separate hidden hotbars utilizing hotbars 1-10 for Stream Deck.

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.

Lv50 Hotbar for Bard.

Bottom bar has no modifiers Middle bar has control modifier Top bar has shift modifier

Bar 1: 1 2 3 4 Bar 2: Q E R X Bar 3: F C V T

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)

Bars 1-2 are on the number row (1 through =), with 2 being Ctrl+[key]. The general idea being either that the action on bar 1 leads to that on bar 2, or bar 2 is bar 1 but AoE or stronger or something of the sort. Bars 3-4 are on the numpad, and doubly so mapped on the side buttons on my mouse, with 4 being Ctrl+[key], although bar 4 is generally just assorted things for all classes to use.

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

Bard

Auto-attack is Pitch Perfect. Keep that seperate.

Gain Resonant Arrow as a follow-up from Barrage. (Uncouple as a follow-up. Down arrow macro icon as placeholder.)

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)
