Hotbar 1 uses the 12 MMO mouse buttons. Hotbar 2 uses those 12 buttons with Shift as the modifier. Hotbar 3 uses those 12 buttons with Alt as the modifier.

First version of Azeron layout. Hotbar 3 is center row of buttons, 1 & 2 are upper flick buttons, 4 & 5 are squeeze buttons. Actions on the upper halves of hotbars are shift (nub click) + 1-4 (pinky-pointer). Hotbar 4 sides are shift and outer buttons.

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.

Designed with minimal swapping between 1 and 2. Most GCD on the non-D pad to help with attacking and moving. Hotbar 8 L and R are same so no thinking. Hotbar 1 is Single target while Hotbar 2 is AOE minded. Hotbar 2 has mount + sprint so keep in mind. Dye = Pot for raiders, if not than whatever you want. Enabled customization when weapon is drawn/sheathed Hotbar 1 + 2. That means hotbar 3 you will manually have to switch to if you need stuff on there. part of my Tank series where similar skills are in the same spots and play roughly in same style. Please Enjoy!

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.

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

Hotbars for Lv60 Dark Knight.

needs xivcombo plugin to work properly. It also has macros for taunt and shirk on the third bar that I can easily activate with holding LT + RT. As well as skills I can put on the second party without going through the party list. Example: /ac "The Blackest Night" <2>

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

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

Hotbar 1: Similar format based on my first tank (GNB). 1-2-3 combo on top. MP-spending oGCDs along the right side. Next row is the AoE 1-2 combo. Then the ranged and gap closer. Then the "bursts" for DRK, and lastly, the grandfathered seat for Sprint.

Hotbar 2 (ctrl): Looking at the first 2x2, single target on top, AoE on bottom; GCD/gauge spenders left, oGCDs middle. Then we have the odd one out, the AoE puddle of hurties. Rampart and reprisal are where they are for all my tanks. Third row also has the job-specific overall high mitigation, then the specific mitigation (DRK is magic, while GNB is phys). While DRK doesn't have a plain heal button, TBN is as close as it gets. While this one has a 60s recast, I decided Oblation gets to take this one for having two charges and can be put on a teammate. Bottom right is the team mitigation.

Work in progress

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)
