General notes:

• Frequently used abilities or important ones to use while moving go on the face buttons
• AoE versions of things go on expanded hotbar
• Only using one expanded hotbar so no LT>RT vs. RT>LT confusion during combat
• Infrequently used abilities go on WXHB
• Star button on WXHB is a focus target macro

Dragoon notes:

• Base combos move in circles A-X-Y-B and then opposite B, making for smooth, circular movements that are easy to maintain during mechanics
• oGCDs are arranged across LT and RT halves such that the important ones can be duplicated on the expanded hotbar in identical positions
  • This makes it easy to quickly hit them even while you're on the "wrong" hotbar half (e.g., doing the Chaotic Spring combo and you need to hit High Jump/Mirage Dive)
  • Also makes it easy to monitor cooldowns (except long-cooldown buffs Lance Charge and Battle Litany) while the expanded hotbar is displayed
• Wyrmwind Thrust on LT since it should usually go with Chaotic Spring combo unless the rotation gets messed up, and Stardiver next to Geirskogul

Gain Psyche. (Jump as placeholder.)

Gain Philosophia. (Teleport as placeholder.)

Friend asked for a layout

Tank macro = /target <2> Triangle macro = /target <f>

Still learning best ways to access what I use most, but this so far feels like the best flow to me.

Sage

Damage on right, single-target heals on left, buffs in center, AOE heals on double-right.

Valen Bree

Goal is to use only Expanded XHB LT-RT and RT-LT, keeping everything and timers visible and not having to also use WXHB double click hold, to speed up usage in trials and raids. With also keeping similar layout between healing jobs.

This is initial layout before testing.

SGE Layout Pre-7.0

6.55 Layout (Removed after 7.0 launch) : Here
LT>RT remapped from Set 8 Left to Set 8 Right, only right half of Set 8 is used
Set 1 - Primary Heals/CDs ; Set 2 - Utility + Raise ; Set 8 - DPS / Heal CDs

UPDATES

Numbers correlate to Macros
0 Psyche
1 Philosophia
Set 8 Left - Removed Abilities
This set has been adjusted to be in line with my WHM 7.0 Preliminary

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

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.
