Work In Progress SAM controller setup

things to note: I am a casual player and have set this as a draft setup, subject to change on testing, please use as a template. Main XHB is 1, WXHB is 2 and expanded XHB is 3. for simplicity will now be abbreviated to HB1, HB2 and HB3. HB3 is shared on all classes for me, on DPS second wind is always on the same spot RT+ LT + Y along with mount, teleport etc (not shown).

Pretty easy to follow

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

Lose Shoha II (Thank God.)

No new buttons.

How I set up my crossbars as a Samurai on steamdeck (Currently level ~70)

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

Hotbars for Lv60 Samurai.

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.

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