I only really started taking the layout seriously after DT released.

This setup omits collectable items. I find it's more of a necessity on controller/XHB, so it'll be on that.

Note: I haven't leveled this up to 100 yet.

Hotbar 1: Starting with the single target filler, regen, and DoT on the first row. Next row has the WHM-specific actions. The rest is the same: heal, weak AoE heal (in case of sync-down), esuna, zoomies, weak heal (ONLY for sync-downs that the normal heal isn't there), sprint.

Hotbar 1: My healers tend to follow this format, with the exception being Sage of course.

Row 1: Single target, regen, DoT Row 2: The job specific goodies. These are three cards. Row 3: Stronger heal, weak regen (in case of roulette sync), esuna Row 4: Zoomies, weak heal (in case of roulette sync), sprint.

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.

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.

This was my first tank job that I actually worked on, and paved the way for all my other tank jobs to use a similar setup.

Hotbar 1: On top there's the 1-2-3 combo. Along the right side down, there's the oGCD, and AoE oGCD. Second line is the AoE 1-2 combo. 3rd row is the ranged action and gap closer. Last, there's the two burst window related actions - the hit-harder button, and the free cartridges button. And the sprint has always been there for all the jobs. Sprout carryover.

Hotbar 1: White mana on the left side, black mana on the right side. Single target above, AoEs below. Both/neutral down the middle. I used to put acceleration on Hotbar 3, but it's better this way for quick succession to the relevant actions.

Hotbar 2 (ctrl): The 1-2-3 melee combo on top. I usually have my gap close/make on those two middle positions. Sleep, lucid, cure, and the DPS buff are just rollovers from my old hotbar as Summoner, my first job, and that was before I put more thought into hotbar setups. AoE and run+gun spenders on the bottom row.

1 - Easy general fishing

Here is to make it easy to do general fishing.

2 - Buffs and macros

I have /sit on [1] and Cordials on the far left macros.

The XHB setup I use for my Fisher. 1-3 are unique to FSH, all else are shared between all jobs. XHB4's LT->RT pane is a selection of emotes. XHB7 is my job selector.

PROVISIONAL - NOT LEVELLED OR TESTED

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

I am currently lvl 45 fisher, and this is the layout I use. I will update as I lvl up.

5-year KB+M player gets Steam Deck, is forced to learn controller. regular fishing is heavily prioritized over spearfishing.

For level 100 FSH

XBars 1 and 2 are for normal fishing XBar 3 is for Spearfishing

I suggest Mooch, Mooch II, Consumables, Thaliak's Favor and Surface Slap are placed on hotbars to track procs and cooldowns.

Valen Bree

Full Fisher WXHB I ran out of space to add other gatherer skills, but this is easy use for spear fishing on the 1LT and general fishing on all the other XHBs.

Custom Slots

• [1] Cast/Hook macro (see below)
• [2] Cordial
• [3] /sit Emote

All are FSH specific. Extra bait stays in Saddlebag. Tried to keep things grouped functionally. Untested so far, purely hypothetical.
