Fits my usual priorities for hotbars:

• All instant GCDs go on face buttons
• gap closer goes on WXHB
• AOE replacements on XHB2
• Swap XHB1 and XHB2 with R1 tap
• everything else goes where it's convenient

This setup is optimized to my style of play. I tried to minimize the amount of movement my trigger fingers do cause I get tired.

2 is for AOE combo > stays at the top 1 is for Standard combo (single target) > main bar 3 is for Role skills

My starter Viper hotbar for Dawntrail, designed to be played with an MMO mouse.

I like to keep all my single target on the right trigger and AoE on the left trigger.

Looking into the current flow for 7.05 this seems like it should work and keep the placement of buttons matching the layout of the bars in the UI.

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

Utilizing Main XHB, WXHB and Expanded XHB

XHB RT = Single Target Normal

Hotbar 1 covers all single target actions and all role actions. Hotbar 2 covers all AoE actions and all role actions.

Hotbar 5 contains the few shared skills that don't fit on hotbar 1/2, along with Limit Break. Twinfang/Twinblood are behind the skills that activate them.

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 dye represents potion, and Sprint and LB are macroed to L3/R3 respectively.

I don't use this job

i love this set up it allows for easy access to to ogcds whatever trigger you are holding. also easy reawaken combo and gcds are on face buttons so its easier to move while attacking

Just copied Nanaki's

Built around RT Single Target LT AoE split, with most class buttons on the face buttons (A,B,X,Y), and role buttons on the D-Pad. Several buttons doubled to maintain comfortable play between AoE and Single Target combos. Assumes Sprint on L3 macro. Limit Break placed where I would have it if I didn't have a controller with keyboard command programmable buttons.

This layout puts most of the work on the face buttons and being comfortable with switching between Expanded and WXHB
