XHB 1 Single target XHB 2 Multiple target

I created my chotbars to be comfortable, practical, and aesthetic.(to me anyway) Nearly all same/similar skills are in the same position across all jobs/roles while allowing for as little finger gymnastics as possible.

My XHB is split between chotbars 2(left) and 7(right)

a xHB layout that seemed more efficient after reading a few guides and gaining better ability context

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

Almost Entirely Based on asah's SAM Dawntrail: https://www.xivbars.com/job/SAM/4071

I show Cross Hotbar 3 (Left) with both of the expanded trigger controls, so you can easily add in another 8 actions if you prefer, I use XHB 8 as a shared bar between all classes for traversal and general actions outside of combat. Role actions are consistent among my layouts, and so are general actions. The macro icon is a placeholder for a Tincture/Gemdraught.

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

SAM as of 6.5

Pretty easy to follow

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).

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

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.

Left half of bar 3 is normally not in use.
