After praticing differents ways to play Pictomancer, i find my build for cast easier my spells.

Maybe, it going to help other players, i hope so.

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

A first run of a layout, influenced by my SMN and RDM layouts. ST on hotbar one, AoE on hotbar 2, other stuff on 3. I usually sit on either hotbar 1 or 2, depending on my needs, and switch between them with the R1 bumper.

Tweaked on 7/28/2024 - I added Rainbow Drip to the main two bars because it has a proc mechanism at times - you need to see that, not have it hidden on third bar!

This is what use as of now, I throw pots and stuff on the WXHB LT DPAD.

I have some spells on here twice for easy access during some rotations.

Everything is neatly lined up the way I like it. Normally i would put aoes same line as single target bar, but I like having scenic and starprism somewhere easily seen and pressed. pots go between smudge and sprint, but its all up to you!

My final layout after several ex-trial/normal raid runs. I prefer expanded XHB over WXHB because it allows faster access compared to double tap.

Just copied Nanaki's

For use with 3x4 MMO Mouse Notes: Hotbar 2 is on Shift Hotbar 3 is on CTRL

On Hotbar 3, I have these alternate binds: 8 set to Middle Mouse Click 11 set to SHIFT + Middle Mouse Click 7 set to E 9 set to Q

• for G600 mmo mouse
• addle on f1 and surecast on f3
• combo on same buttons as other classes as not to get confused, also my fingers rest naturally on those buttons
• aoe combos on second bar to match the other jobs
• canvas actions at the top of the first bar
• shield mirrors shield placement on SMN
• might move swiftcast around

hotbar 1 is single target bar hotbar 3 is aoe combo stuff
