I only use wasd for movements. all hotbar slots bound to mouse buttons.

stack each hotbar (as shown). i put the mini map in the middle gap. ends up looking like two 3x4 hotbars (left and right) the right hotbar is for gshift (or shift modifier).

this is for my ROG Ally when undocked. do not use on console. Left trigger is for aoes/ trash pulls. Right trig is for single target.

you might notice there are important skills missing. this requires xivcombos plugin on PC. otherwise this will not work.for example, after using hypercharge, it changes to heat blast. scattershot will also turn into autoxrossbow while in heated mode. Your 1-2-3 combo also gets combined into one slot. This let's us occupy at least 5 fewer slots without losing any functionality, which makes using a xhb far more practical.

Waiting for the new action images to get added in to fully get this good

Make sure to change Double tap L2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Left" and Double tap R2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Right"

General XHB combat layout I use in game. Feel free to use it if curious on how the flow might gauge for you.

Personal Hotbar Setup

Reaper Cross Hotbar setup based from Bun Boss FFXIV on Youtube as of Sep 8, 2022 (except expanded XHB which I regularly access).

• WXHB and Extended XHB shared on HB 2 for visible Cds
• AOE rotation separated on HB 3 to replace HB 1 when needed
• standard GCDs on face buttons for movement and OGCDs near GCDs close in the rotation/bursts
