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.

Keybinds

1 2 3 4 5 6

Note: Sprint and Limit Break should be on a Shared Hotbar!!!

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)

The basics I want on my bar for easy access

Hotbars for Lv50 Scholar.

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

This layout is based on the ease of use (for the most part) and grouping of relevant buttons. Overall i try to keep insta casts on the face buttons to enable mobility.

RT (R) - is for insta spells for movement. also the the placements within the RT group allow for the Crit-Adlo-deploy combo with ease.

Healer icon = Seraphism

##For General Content (not tested with Extreme/Savage)

I have trouble remembering what's in my 2nd crossbar, so I always copy 2 to 3. Until I decided to play Scholar XD

My scholar crosshotbar.

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.
