I created my chotbars to be comfortable, practical, and aesthetic. 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)

• 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

Order from Left to Right:

1, 2, 3, 4

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

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.

PROVISIONAL - NOT LEVELLED OR TESTED

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

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.

Everything is neatly lined up the way I like it. Normally i would put aoes same line as single target bar, but I like having scenic and starprism somewhere easily seen and pressed. pots go between smudge and sprint, but its all up to you!

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!

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.

Just copied Nanaki's

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
