From the Near Eastern nation of Thavnair comes a troupe of bewitchingly graceful performers. Though certainly elegant and beautiful, their movements also speak of martial discipline ─ of a pulsing, persistent energy whose rhythm can inspire souls and soothe troubled hearts. Inured to the hardships of the road, these dancers have learned to land throwing weapons with the same exacting precision as their footfalls, removing any who would obstruct the endless beat of the dance.

    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)

    Just copied Nanaki's

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Hotbar IconHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    for each job, I create a "hotbar" that is basically a monitor for any spell/skill/cooldowns I want to see the status of; I also have a hotbar with Role spells & skills, and, Sprint. These are the spells I have for Dawntrail. I use Hotbars 2 & 10 but you can use any Hotbars you want.

    wanna Dance? let's DANCE! single target on the Right Trigger Crossbar skills, Fan Dances & AOE on the Left Trigger Crossbar skills (except for Last Dance) Buffs, Def, Movement etc skills on Crossbar 2

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    Updated for Dawntrail

    Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    WIP with aoe abilities on the extended XHB

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    Puts most of the strain on the left hand, and off of the right.

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    Single target on chotbar 1, AoE on chotbar 2. I change using the right bumper button (R1) and sit on the chotbar as needed. Possibly based on Squintina's layout with tweaks, I can't remember if I got my original layout from her or not.

    Not updated for 7.0. Putting this up for a friend (and so I can transfer my chotbar to my alts)

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    My personal XHB for raiding Extreme, Savage and Ultimate. But also works for normal use.

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    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.

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB

    DNC PVP Layout 6.55

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    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.

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    RT single target, buffs

    RT LT aoe, healing

  • Dancer IconDNC

    P.V.E. IconPVE

    Gain Last Dance. (Teleport as Placeholder. Not actually too sure if this is a new button.)

    Maybe play with where Saber Dance, Last Dance, Starfall Dance, and Fan Dance IV are. Might feel bad to hit those buttons in those locations.

    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"

    The new DNC Layout I'm testing 05/22/24

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    Trying to standardize my XHBs across jobs, starting with DNC.

    HB 1:

    • RT shapes: single-target GCDs
    • RT D-pad: single-target oGCDs
  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB

    My current DNC Layout

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    did you know: peloton and sprint do not stack together, peloton's 20% speed buff gets overwritten by sprint's 30%

    this is also true for every othe speed buff that is lower than another, for example ninja's passive speed boost

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB

    from bun boss video but slighly modified

  • Dancer IconDNC
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB

    Single Target on the right, AOE on the left, movement on LT > RT

    How I set up my crossbars as a dancer on steamdeck (Currently level ~65)

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

    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.

    A simple crossbar for DNC. Only the essentials, nothing terribly flashy. (My Closed Position is actually a cute little macro to let my fellow DPS know they're my dance partner.)
