Machinist Hotbar Layouts and Guides
This page lists all player-created Hotbar (HB) and Cross Hotbar (XHB) layouts and keybinding setup guides for the Machinist job in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail.
MCHMachinist
The war with Dravania rages on, brutal and unrelenting. With no end in sight, the Holy See grows desperate. As her dragoons lay down their lives in defense of their home, Ishgard turns to technology to protect her sons and daughters. Great cannons and ballistas now line the city walls, plucking dragons from the sky.
Following the example of Cid Garlond, who has demonstrated the potency of magitek, the Skysteel Manufactory works tirelessly on the development of advanced armaments. As new and devastating weapons are brought to the fray, a new class of champion arises to wield them―the machinist.

XHB
PVEDa'momo's Machinist
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)

MCH Layout 6.55 (Not 7.0-Able)
LT>RT remapped from Set 8 Left to Set 8 Right, only right half of Set 8 is used
Set 1 - Single Target / CDs ; Set 2 - Extras ; Set 8 - Aoe / Utility - MCHXHBPVE
MCH 7.0
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.

90 mch for pc only
this is for my ROG Ally when undocked. do not use on console. Left trigger is for aoes/ trash pulls. Right trig is for single target.
you might notice there are important skills missing. this requires xivcombos plugin on PC. otherwise this will not work.for example, after using hypercharge, it changes to heat blast. scattershot will also turn into autoxrossbow while in heated mode. Your 1-2-3 combo also gets combined into one slot. This let's us occupy at least 5 fewer slots without losing any functionality, which makes using a xhb far more practical.

Make sure to change Double tap L2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Left" and Double tap R2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Right"

Noko Steamdeck Machinist
How I set up my crossbars as a machinist on steamdeck (Currently level ~65)
I try to play every classes/jobs, thus I tend to reuse same slots for same "functionality" across jobs.

Rainbows MCH XHB
I'm a small streamer that loves FFXIV and many other things. The XHBs I publish are solely how I personally like to organize my Hotbars when on the controller! Feel free to use them if you too like them! Some are thrown together and some are planned out.
