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.

Note: Sprint and Limit Break should be on a Shared Hotbar!!!

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

Hotbars for Lv50 Gunbreaker.

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Maybe

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.

MMO Mouse 3x4

Maybe?

Peripherals are Corsair Scimitar Elite

All jobs will follow a similar pattern to make job transitioning simple and not so overwhelming

GNB

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.

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)
