Preliminary 7.0 Setup

“Question mark“ is used as filler for upcoming abilities:

Preliminary 7.0 Setup

Countdown Macro for slot LT, LT D-Pad Left

/cd 15

WXHB LT D-Pad Left:
Countdown Macro

/cd 15

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.

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

Main XHB - Single Target EXHB - AOE Expanded XHB - Utility

This guide is for beginners like me who don't want to think about pressing LT twice or LT⇒RT or RT⇒LT... I want to use my brain as little as possible. For slot 8's RT⇒LT, set both display sets to 'XHB Set 8: Right' from the system menu. Since I'm not even at level 100 yet, I believe there are many parts that will need adjustment.

for each job, I create a "hotbar" that is basically a monitor for cooldowns/any spell/skill 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.

Hotbar 1, single target. Main raid bar.

Hotbar 2, utility, buffs, repeats Accessed via expanded controls

• Squeezing both triggers

Personal one I have edited while in dungeons and trails and such.

1- 1-0,-,=

keybinds: 1,2,3,4,Q,E,R,F (C, X, Z, 5)

Row 2: CTRL+

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.

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!

Just tried my best have a good flow that made sense. I put the painting actions on dpad and regular attack actions on face buttons this helped me most to have a good muscle memory flow and have painting and attacks be separated and bounce between them. Also made sure to have all painting actions in the same spot for muscle memory so creature will always be left, weapon bottom center, and scenery is always on the right.
