After praticing differents ways to play Pictomancer, i find my build for cast easier my spells.

Maybe, it going to help other players, i hope so.

My final layout after several ex-trial/normal raid runs. I prefer expanded XHB over WXHB because it allows faster access compared to double tap.

• for G600 mmo mouse
• addle on f1 and surecast on f3
• combo on same buttons as other classes as not to get confused, also my fingers rest naturally on those buttons
• aoe combos on second bar to match the other jobs
• canvas actions at the top of the first bar
• shield mirrors shield placement on SMN
• might move swiftcast around

Main XHB - Single Target EXHB - AOE Expanded XHB - Utility

This guide is for beginners like me who don't want to think about pressing LT twice or LT⇒RT or RT⇒LT... I want to use my brain as little as possible. For slot 8's RT⇒LT, set both display sets to 'XHB Set 8: Right' from the system menu. Since I'm not even at level 100 yet, I believe there are many parts that will need adjustment.

for each job, I create a "hotbar" that is basically a monitor for cooldowns/any spell/skill I want to see the status of; I also have a hotbar with Role spells & skills, and, Sprint. These are the spells I have for Dawntrail. I use Hotbars 2 & 10 but you can use any Hotbars you want.

Order from Left to Right:

1, 2, 3, 4

This is what use as of now, I throw pots and stuff on the WXHB LT DPAD.

I have some spells on here twice for easy access during some rotations.

For use with 3x4 MMO Mouse Notes: Hotbar 2 is on Shift Hotbar 3 is on CTRL

On Hotbar 3, I have these alternate binds: 8 set to Middle Mouse Click 11 set to SHIFT + Middle Mouse Click 7 set to E 9 set to Q

Tweaked the layout that got me from 80-90, still a work in progress.

Right side of LT/RT for instant cast actions, to make movement easier. Left side for things with cast timers and Scenic Muse, which has a long cooldown.

A first run of a layout, influenced by my SMN and RDM layouts. ST on hotbar one, AoE on hotbar 2, other stuff on 3. I usually sit on either hotbar 1 or 2, depending on my needs, and switch between them with the R1 bumper.

Tweaked on 7/28/2024 - I added Rainbow Drip to the main two bars because it has a proc mechanism at times - you need to see that, not have it hidden on third bar!
