my weird layout mapped to 1,2,3,4,q,e,r,t,f,g,c,v

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Bard

Keybinds for those interested.

I use an mmo mouse so 1-6 on all bars are pressed on the mouse, uisng shift and ctrl for bar 2 and 3. The latter 6 on all bars are pressed uisng the keyboard and shift/ctrl.

I show Cross Hotbar 3 (Left) with both of the expanded trigger controls, so you can easily add in another 8 actions if you prefer, I use XHB 8 as a shared bar between all classes for traversal and general actions outside of combat. Role actions are consistent among my layouts, and so are general actions. The macro icon is a placeholder for a Tincture/Gemdraught.

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

Auto-attack is Pitch Perfect. Keep that seperate.

Gain Resonant Arrow as a follow-up from Barrage. (Uncouple as a follow-up. Down arrow macro icon as placeholder.)

These are my BRD hotbars, very much a WIP, Hopefully you enjoy :)

Almost Entirely Based on kazazel's BRD MMO: https://www.xivbars.com/job/BRD/5551

Somewhat adjusted in game

Basic leveling-friendly layout with RT>LT and LT<RT being the same bar in settings.

'Twas I who fought the dragon

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)

The job with the least amount of buttons in the game It was extremely difficult to get this symmetrical

Spineshatter Dive = Winged Glide

Dragon Sight = Drakesbane

Not changes for new abilities, but changed to better fit new hotbar layout

Shoha II is gone (finally) which allows all skills to fit on 2 and 2/3 hotbars

Nothing much changed

Huraijin is gone and replaced with Hide (which is even more useless)

Nothing changes

DPS Icon 1 = Last Dance

Requires splitting Tempura to make it look aesthetic

Aethercharge = Lux Solaris

Might change this

Fire II = Flare Star

Rough Divide = Trajectory

Healer Icon 1 = Aurora MO Macro
