Shoha II is gone (finally) which allows all skills to fit on 2 and 2/3 hotbars

Standard Samurai Controller/WXHB setup

XHB 1 - Single Target Main Actions

Just copied Nanaki's

XHB 1 Single target XHB 2 Multiple target

SHING SHING SHING

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

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.

Pretty easy to follow

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)

a xHB layout that seemed more efficient after reading a few guides and gaining better ability context

How I set up my crossbars as a Samurai on steamdeck (Currently level ~70)

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