The idea for my Fisher setup is that there is a main hotbar for the most useful actions for general/ocean fishing, you press R1 to access spearfishing skills, and the middle hotbar is for ease of movement, large-size fish and Patience skills. Dye button here = Cordial

The idea for my DoL setups is that there is a main hotbar for the most useful actions to spend GP on, you press R1 to access location and gathering chance skills, and the middle hotbar is for ease of movement and macros. The macros are /echo to show me in game lists of special node timings. On hotbar 3, the location skills are repeated (no cross class gathering skills on the site), but in game the Miner equivalent skills are placed alongside these instead. Dye button here = Cordial

The idea for my DoH setups is that there is a main hotbar for the most common crafting rotation actions (for 80+), you press R1 to access all other quality, progress and misc. actions, and the middle hotbar is for crafting macros plus Specialist actions. "8", "4", "7" and "3" are for 80, 40, 70 and 35 Durability respectively. With the gold colour macros being 2 steps

Thanks for the credit distraughtklownz! =)

Basic DPS rotation with movement skills, a flowchart, and visualized cooldowns. Bars four, five, and six are in the center of my screen so I can easily see cooldowns as well as visualize the flowchart of the typical Dragoon DPS rotation.

Bar 1 - Main Rotation:

My basic layout for all jobs. Hotbar 1 single target, hotbar 2 AOE. The focus of each is their respective core GCDs, and then I mimic the OGCD on each so switching isn't required unless going from AOE to single target situations or vice versa. Nastrond is used quite a lot in double weaves so I have it on both sides for ease of access. Expanded hotbar 3 for job specific potions, food, movement, role actions, extras I want access to regardless of single target or aoe situations. Hotbar 4 is shared quick access to whatever ya want on the WXHB.

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 Piercing Talon and Battle Litany is a health Pot.

Dragoon XHB - Current

Hotbars for Lv60 Dragoon.

General notes:

• Frequently used abilities or important ones to use while moving go on the face buttons
• AoE versions of things go on expanded hotbar
• Only using one expanded hotbar so no LT>RT vs. RT>LT confusion during combat
• Infrequently used abilities go on WXHB
• Star button on WXHB is a focus target macro

Dragoon notes:

• Base combos move in circles A-X-Y-B and then opposite B, making for smooth, circular movements that are easy to maintain during mechanics
• oGCDs are arranged across LT and RT halves such that the important ones can be duplicated on the expanded hotbar in identical positions
  • This makes it easy to quickly hit them even while you're on the "wrong" hotbar half (e.g., doing the Chaotic Spring combo and you need to hit High Jump/Mirage Dive)
  • Also makes it easy to monitor cooldowns (except long-cooldown buffs Lance Charge and Battle Litany) while the expanded hotbar is displayed
• Wyrmwind Thrust on LT since it should usually go with Chaotic Spring combo unless the rotation gets messed up, and Stardiver next to Geirskogul

With the Dawntrail update, a lot of the dragoon actions have been condensed. Try it out!

Maybe this hotbar will make me like playing DRG more. I've now come to accept that the AoE combo will have to sit away from the first hotbar.

Note: I haven't really tried this yet. Will update if needed.

• Buffs on top. (Ordered according to the optimal rotation)
• Weaponskills in the middle. ("Cross" shape on both sides)
• oGCD attacks below. (Parallel to top oGCD buffs)
• Extras in top corners, sides. (General: `~ 7 , Job: Ins H )
• Role actions on shift. (Prefer AQWRTG but ZXCV available)
• Consumables on alt. (Potion: Alt+W, Tincture: Alt+R) (Companion actions = placeholders)

[Hotbar 2] Left fingers: Ring or Pinky 1 2 3 Tab Q W Ins A `~ Z X C

NOTE: The "Stance" key there is for you to replace with your Draught of Strength since I couldn't find the item on this tool.

1 is normally mapped 2 is usually Ctrl + {Number} 3 is usually Shift + {Number} 4 is usually Alt + {Number}

this is good. it makes a lot of sense and feeds into the combos. may need to revise it post dawntrail but we'll see what dawntrail brings.

Display with: [L2]→[R2]  [Cycle Up - Right]
Display with: [R2]→[L2]  [Cycle Up - Left]
Set Selection (Drawn):   [Hotbars 1, 3]

• Clockwise from True Thrust & Potion, hit R2 ⭘🗙⬜︎🛆 in order, double-weaving the R2→L2 ✜ and R2 ✜ abilities after each.
• After R2 🛆, switch hotbars (R1) and loop R2 🛆⭘🗙⬜︎🛆.
• Double-weave evolved R2 ✜ abilities as they become available.
• Weave Wyrmwind Thrust after each second Raiden Thrust; this may be delayed up to Drakesbane to fit nearby buff windows.
• Continue to use Life Surge on Heaven's Thrust or Drakesbane, checking charges at each High Jump to prevent overcapping.
• Continue to weave all other OGCD's every 30/60/120 seconds, as indicated by their cooldowns.

Modified Opener: These bars pair abilities on R2 ✜ by their cooldown durations, to allow easy double-weaving and identification of when they should be pressed.
