In progress Made for Logitech G600 I try to keep similar actions across other jobs in the same spots in the hotbar

My controller hotbar setup

Designed with minimal swapping between 1 and 2. Most GCD on the non-D pad to help with attacking and moving. Hotbar 8 L and R are same so no thinking. Hotbar 1 is Single target while Hotbar 2 is AOE minded. Hotbar 2 has mount + sprint so keep in mind. Dye = Pot for raiders, if not than whatever you want. Enabled customization when weapon is drawn/sheathed Hotbar 1 + 2. That means hotbar 3 you will manually have to switch to if you need stuff on there. part of my Tank series where similar skills are in the same spots and play roughly in same style. Please Enjoy!

Hotbar 1: Similar format based on my first tank (GNB). 1-2-3 combo on top. MP-spending oGCDs along the right side. Next row is the AoE 1-2 combo. Then the ranged and gap closer. Then the "bursts" for DRK, and lastly, the grandfathered seat for Sprint.

Hotbar 2 (ctrl): Looking at the first 2x2, single target on top, AoE on bottom; GCD/gauge spenders left, oGCDs middle. Then we have the odd one out, the AoE puddle of hurties. Rampart and reprisal are where they are for all my tanks. Third row also has the job-specific overall high mitigation, then the specific mitigation (DRK is magic, while GNB is phys). While DRK doesn't have a plain heal button, TBN is as close as it gets. While this one has a 60s recast, I decided Oblation gets to take this one for having two charges and can be put on a teammate. Bottom right is the team mitigation.

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

Work in progress

This is a separate cross hotbar for single target and aoe. Hope you enjoy! :)

Separated AOE and Single Target

I've watched Bun Boss and a few others to get an idea of how things should flow on controller. This is a setup that works for me and I wanted to share it! I like to keep things consistent across my jobs.

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

First version of Azeron layout. Hotbar 3 is center row of buttons, 1 & 2 are upper flick buttons, 4 & 5 are squeeze buttons. Actions on the upper halves of hotbars are shift (nub click) + 1-4 (pinky-pointer). Hotbar 4 sides are shift and outer buttons.

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.

The idea for my Fisher setup is that there is a main hotbar for the most useful actions for general/ocean fishing, you press R1 to access spearfishing skills, and the middle hotbar is for ease of movement, large-size fish and Patience skills. Dye button here = Cordial

Updated for Dawntrail

The idea for my DoL setups is that there is a main hotbar for the most useful actions to spend GP on, you press R1 to access location and gathering chance skills, and the middle hotbar is for ease of movement and macros. The macros are /echo to show me in game lists of special node timings. On hotbar 3, the location skills are repeated (no cross class gathering skills on the site), but in game the Miner equivalent skills are placed alongside these instead. Dye button here = Cordial

The idea for my DoH setups is that there is a main hotbar for the most common crafting rotation actions (for 80+), you press R1 to access all other quality, progress and misc. actions, and the middle hotbar is for crafting macros plus Specialist actions. "8", "4", "7" and "3" are for 80, 40, 70 and 35 Durability respectively. With the gold colour macros being 2 steps
