A WIP that tries to fit all the need options on 2 bars

VPR 7.0
LT>RT remapped from Set 8 Left to Set 8 Right, only right half of Set 8 is used
Set 1 - Single Target ; Set 2 - AoE ; Set 8 - Utility

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

1:1 with reaper button layout hotkeys picture. Dread maw and steel maw can be flipped for convenience. Coils too. Dread maw and Steel maw can be switched with twinfang and twinblood. Pit of dread twice for extra freedom.

Dreadwinder on soulslice for muscle memory and cooldown button, move to somewhere you can stare at it easily to track cd AND press it.

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

Steel Fangs/Dread Fangs are standard combo openers Steel Maw/Dread Maw are standard combo openers for AOE From there, just hit the button that glows (one or both of the combo openers will glow). The 2nd hit in each combo will give you one of two buffs, one will reduce auto-attack delay (Swiftscale; makes you faster), the other adds potency to your attacks (Hunter's Instinct; makes you stronger). The 3rd hit in the combo will be powered up depending on the actions you did in step 1 and step 2, but again, just hit the one that glows. Additionally, once you hit that 3rd button, Serpent's Tail will light up for a 4th oGCD hit to end the combo.

Dreadwinder (single target) and Pit of Dread (AOE) will activate the two buttons next to it for a different combo set and give you a stack of Uncoiled Fury, a stronger ranged attack. The two buttons activated are Hunter's/Swiftskin's Coil for single target, Hunter's/Swiftskin's Den for AOE. You'll hit both of these, and they'll buff you in the same way as the normal combo, but after hitting one of these, either Twinblood and Twinfang on your back row will light up for an oGCD weave hit. Then after hitting Twinblood or Twinfang, whichever of those two didn't light up and you can hit that. For example: Dreadwinder > Hunter's Coil > Twinblood > Twinfang > Swiftskin's Coil > Twinfang > Twinblood. Uncoiled Fury works the same way as this, you'll just consume a charge to use it. Remember, it's ranged, so use it when you need it or are in danger of overstacking those charges.

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.

All important combo GCDs and oGCDs are on the face buttons for max mobility while weaving/doing positionals

I tend to put AOEs on the D-pad since they aren’t as important but Viper actually has more AOE GCDs than most jobs, so Pit of Dread (aoe Twinblade starter) was able to get a spot on the R2 + Square since there was real estate.

Updated for latest patch

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Utilizing Main XHB, WXHB and Expanded XHB

XHB RT = Single Target Normal

First take on Viper Hotbar

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

Make sure to change Double tap L2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Left" and Double tap R2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Right"

Otherwise going to play around with this to see if I can make it better for me
