3 is for AOE combo > R1 to cycle 1 is Standard Combo (Single Target) > Main R1 to cycle 2 is for Role skills, dash, limit break

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.

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

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

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)

Uses XHB, double tap, LT->RT(which are almost the same for muscle memory). Also uses a bar for cooldowns you cant see on LT->RT

Uses sheathe weapon layouts too for run, food, teles, etc

Updated for latest patch

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

Utilizing Main XHB, WXHB and Expanded XHB

XHB RT = Single Target Normal

Thought Process

• GCDs on face buttons for easy movement while pressing-
• WXHB and Expanded shared on XHB 2 so can see Expanded cooldowns
• Left trigger, XHB 1 starts opener
  • rear positional on bottom buttons and flank on side
• Right trigger bar is mainly used for filler GCDs and the reawaken part of the burst
• duplicate actions because we have so much space so trying to limit having to swap triggers and help with weaves
• AOE on bar 3 to switch to when needed saves room (not really needed, just a habit from other jobs)
• sprint on L3
• macro on XHB 2 is pot

I don't use this job

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.
