For new opener and rotation

New layout

My DRK hotbars pre-renovation (as played through EW).

Up and down on the Dpad are the left and right back paddle respectively.

XHB 3 can the accessed with either LTRT or RTLT

Lvl 100 Red Mage XHB made by a ps5 player

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

Almost Entirely Based on boatium's Personal MMO Mouse RDM: https://www.xivbars.com/job/RDM/5141

Black is right, white is left. there's still a lot of flexibility here, but this is more or less what works for me

The VerHotbar

Just copied Nanaki's

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

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 :)

Pot goes on Bar 3 Down D-Pad Raise uses Macro

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. I would add Second Wind in the missing slot. I use Hotbars 2 & 10 but you can use any Hotbars you want.

for RDM, there are only 6 spells, so you could put them all on 1 column; I don't do this because of how I have my UI setup to accommodate multiple job setups.

First attempt to make panels for MMO mouse with 2 3x4 hotbars and 1 6x2 for utility

this layout works for levelling from RDM unlock through Dawntrail. main crossbar is your single target spells & burst rotation, and the 2nd has your AOE spells
