I use macro for quick release Intervention and Shirk to MT example below.

/ac Intervention /ac Intervention <2> /micon Intervention

Here is my paladin hotbar, it's my main so I hope this helps someone trying to learn it! The inventory button on the third row far right should be replaced with the current potion of strength if you're a sweat :3

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

I got used to starting my rotations from right to left.

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

PLD hotbars based on my GNB hotbars. I use a macro to combine both stuns. Note: I play PLD less than GNB so room for improvements, but wanted all the similar moves to be in the same spots.

Main Bar 1: Single Target Main Bar 2: AOE the middle bar i use for defensives and dash and shield lob and such. Dye: Pots

Sprint and Mount Roulette are macro to L3 and R3 respectively

Paladin Level 100 Controller Hot Bars

Hot Bar 6: Single Target DPS Hot Bar 7: Multi Target DPS Hot Bar 8: WXHB

Circle macro is where I put my Strength Potions. Tank 1 macro is an Intervention macro targeting <2> Shirk is also a macro targeting <2> Bread icon is where I put my food. Shield icon near bread icon is Countdown macro. X macro is /cd to cancel countdown macros. Shield Lob is currently unbound, but put it wherever you find comfy.

I have a normal hotbar above my main XHB to show the cooldowns of: Hallowed Ground, Wings, Intervene, Sprint.

How I set up my crossbars as a paladin on steamdeck (Currently level ~65)

I try to play every classes/jobs, thus I tend to reuse same slots for same "functionality" across jobs.
