My current DNC Layout

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.

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"

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.

1 RT right -> single target 1 RT left -> aoe 1 LT right -> dances 1 LT left -> Fan dances LT LT -> Position actions RT RT -> rest + role actions 6 is my shared hotbar

My dancer crosshotbars

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)

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

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)
