HB 2 is expanded as well cause double tapping triggers sucks :) HB 3 for aoe and the space to fit single target rotation on 2 htobars

Thought Process

• GCDs on face buttons for easy movement while pressing-
• WXHB and Expanded shared on XHB 2 so can see Expanded cooldowns
• Left trigger, XHB 1 starts opener
  • rear positional on bottom buttons and flank on side
• Right trigger bar is mainly used for filler GCDs and the reawaken part of the burst
• duplicate actions because we have so much space so trying to limit having to swap triggers and help with weaves
• AOE on bar 3 to switch to when needed saves room (not really needed, just a habit from other jobs)
• sprint on L3
• macro on XHB 2 is pot

• WXHB and Extended XHB shared on HB 2 for visible Cds
• AOE rotation separated on HB 3 to replace HB 1 when needed
• standard GCDs on face buttons for movement and OGCDs near GCDs close in the rotation/bursts

Thought Process

• single target on the right
• role actions in the same place as red mage build
• gcds on face buttons for movement because smn doesnt cast
• WXHB and Expanded XHB shared on hotbar 2 so cooldowns visible and dont have to use double tap
• AOE duplicated on XHB 3 because I expected to have to move it from XHB when smn got more abilities :/
  • if you need room just keep whatever is comfier
• Legos in order for titan first opener
• Also, yeah that is just physick. Honestly probably just going to put lux solaris there

Thought Process

• melee and spells separated
• Tried to place ogcds near their rotation/burst gcds (e.g. embolden near melee combo, pot near spells for opener, etc)
• Fleche and C6 duplicated to make drifting harder
• spell relevant actions near spells (e.g. lucid, instants)
• macro icon is placeholder for pots
• Expanded XHB on HB 2 shared with WXHB to see cooldowns, use whichever you feel comfortable using. I just think double tapping is annoying :)

Basic DPS rotation with movement skills, a flowchart, and visualized cooldowns. Bars four, five, and six are in the center of my screen so I can easily see cooldowns as well as visualize the flowchart of the typical Dragoon DPS rotation.

Bar 1 - Main Rotation:

• Buffs on top. (Ordered according to the optimal rotation)
• Weaponskills in the middle. ("Cross" shape on both sides)
• oGCD attacks below. (Parallel to top oGCD buffs)
• Extras in top corners, sides. (General: `~ 7 , Job: Ins H )
• Role actions on shift. (Prefer AQWRTG but ZXCV available)
• Consumables on alt. (Potion: Alt+W, Tincture: Alt+R) (Companion actions = placeholders)

[Hotbar 2] Left fingers: Ring or Pinky 1 2 3 Tab Q W Ins A `~ Z X C

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Finally

General notes:

• Frequently used abilities or important ones to use while moving go on the face buttons
• AoE versions of things go on expanded hotbar
• Only using one expanded hotbar so no LT>RT vs. RT>LT confusion during combat
• Infrequently used abilities go on WXHB
• Star button on WXHB is a focus target macro

Dragoon notes:

• Base combos move in circles A-X-Y-B and then opposite B, making for smooth, circular movements that are easy to maintain during mechanics
• oGCDs are arranged across LT and RT halves such that the important ones can be duplicated on the expanded hotbar in identical positions
  • This makes it easy to quickly hit them even while you're on the "wrong" hotbar half (e.g., doing the Chaotic Spring combo and you need to hit High Jump/Mirage Dive)
  • Also makes it easy to monitor cooldowns (except long-cooldown buffs Lance Charge and Battle Litany) while the expanded hotbar is displayed
• Wyrmwind Thrust on LT since it should usually go with Chaotic Spring combo unless the rotation gets messed up, and Stardiver next to Geirskogul

Maybe this hotbar will make me like playing DRG more. I've now come to accept that the AoE combo will have to sit away from the first hotbar.

Note: I haven't really tried this yet. Will update if needed.

Dragoon XHB - Current

this is good. it makes a lot of sense and feeds into the combos. may need to revise it post dawntrail but we'll see what dawntrail brings.
