Rotation on face buttons now

SAM as of 6.5

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.

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.

HOTBAR LAYOUT/DESIGN LOGIC:

These are my SAM hotbars, very much a WIP, Hopefully you enjoy :)

Almost Entirely Based on asah's SAM Dawntrail: https://www.xivbars.com/job/SAM/4071

Just copied Nanaki's

Lose Shoha II (Thank God.)

No new buttons.

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)

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

Set 'Ikishoten' Action Change Setting 'Enable recast timer to prevent erroneous input' to OFF.

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

Auto Attack is used as a placeholder for Psyche in 7.0, and Jump is in place of Eudaimonia

Fury generators on the right, fury spenders on the left. Need I say more?

This one gonna be interesting. It draws inspiration from both Black Mage and Red Mage bars. Sprint is not shown because I keep that on a macro to be activated by pressing in on a control stick.

This takes into account the upcoming removal of Spineshatter, so it is used as a placeholder for the non-damaging gap closer. True Thrust is on both sides to cut down on jumping back and forth, and because I had an open spot for it and splatted it right on there

Exactly as it says on the tin. Sprint is on a macro tied to pressing in the Left Analog Stick across all jobs

Sharpcast will be Flare Star, Sprint is on a macro tying it to pressing in the Left Stick. Fire 1 and 3 are on the AoE crosshotbar to act as emergency movement buttons with the new instant fire paradox and guaranteed Firestarter. Blizzard 1 is on the bar in case of really low level sync
