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)

Fury generators on the right, fury spenders on the left. Need I say more?

My controller setup for monk on controller

Hotbars for Lv50 Monk.

Monk Cross Hotbar setup based from Bun Boss FFXIV on Youtube as of Sep 15, 2022 (except expanded XHB which I regularly access).

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.

Basic skills on right, AOE on left, buffs on cross.

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

My MMO mouse monk Layout

It's just easy for me this way

Endwalker 90 Monk

L2 + DP: Chakra buffs and Weird waitey buffs

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

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

The job with the least amount of buttons in the game It was extremely difficult to get this symmetrical

Spineshatter Dive = Winged Glide

Dragon Sight = Drakesbane

Not changes for new abilities, but changed to better fit new hotbar layout

Shoha II is gone (finally) which allows all skills to fit on 2 and 2/3 hotbars

Nothing much changed

Huraijin is gone and replaced with Hide (which is even more useless)

Nothing changes

DPS Icon 1 = Last Dance

No changes

Requires splitting Tempura to make it look aesthetic

Aethercharge = Lux Solaris

Might change this

Fire II = Flare Star
