Maximum movement hotbars. Most common/important ability on face button. Gropued by sections: Defensives, Final combo GCDs + 25 sec, Tank functions, AOE, gap closers and range attack ect.

I am not a great tank, but I do play WAR in solo content at times and this is the layout I came up with that works for me. Not updated for 7.0.

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.

Hotbar 1: The good ol 1-2-3 combo on top, then the single + AoE oGCDs along the right side, then the legacy spot for Sprint. Next row down is AoE 1-2 combo. Then next row is the ranged and gap close, which thankfully still works as a free damage button in 7.0. Then the two bursties.

Hotbar 2 (ctrl): A few oddities in here. Top left is the burst hitter. Next is technically the alternative 3 in the 1-2-3 combo, since it felt more fluent to press 1, 2, ctrl+2. Next is the single-target spender. This was just built on the rotations as I leveled up and placed these actions accordingly. On row 2, bloodwhetting and the AoE spender just had to be neighbours. Row 3 has the job-specific mitigations, although now that I re-read the tooltip, Thrill and Bloodwhetting could be great vertical neighbours. Row 4 has the straight up heal, low recast time shield-a-friend, and team shield.

How I set up my crossbars as a warrior on steamdeck (Currently level ~65)

I try to play every classes/jobs, thus I tend to reuse same slots for same "functionality" across jobs.

I use a mmo gaming mouse from razer called the Naga, the 3x4 grid is the exact layout as my mouse buttons. Hot bar 2 goes like this from left to right, top to bottom: 1, 2, 3, 4, Q, E, R, T, 5, -, =. The - and = are left and right on my mouse wheel, 5 is reserved for long cooldowns. Hot bar 3 is the same as 2 but with shift being held. The empty item between Tomahawk and Holmgang is a health Pot
