My MMO mouse monk Layout

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"

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.

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.

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

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.

Rotation on face buttons now

XHB 1 Single target XHB 2 Multiple target

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).

Main XHB is split up with Directional buttons on LT and Face buttons on RT. WXHB has all the important buttons that you will press on the RT this includes you pot, with healing skills/healing potions on the LT. the Expanded XHB has same skills on both configs and has your AOE skills and de-buff skills plus Limit break.

This setup has a smooth layout that make pressing all your buttons with little stress and with great flow. For 7.0 you can see Zanshin replaces Ikishoten after using it so you don't have to change the layout to accommodate the new skill. And since Shoha and Shoha II are one button it also frees up a place to add either a role action skill or something else.
