Ally-targeted abilities are placed on the D-pad because you will already be using the D-pad to scroll through the party list and select your target. Most GCDs, untargeted buffs/heals, and mobility tools are placed on the face buttons so they are easy to access while moving.

Core damage actions are placed on the RT and RT>LT bars, including Aetherflow and Dissipation. Lossless faerie heals are placed on the RT and RT>LT bars since they should be prioritized over "lossy" Aetherflow and GCD heals. The LT and LT>RT bars mostly consist of lossy healing actions and related abilities.

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

Macro0: Sacred Soil <me>

Macro1: Chain Stratagem <t>/ Energy Drain

My scholar crosshotbar.

Valen Bree

SCH Layout 6.55 (Not 7.0-Able)
LT>RT remapped from Set 8 Left to Set 8 Right, only right half of Set 8 is used
Set 1 - Primary Heals/CDs ; Set 2 - Utility + Raise ; Set 8 - DPS / Heal CDs

Note: Sprint and Limit Break should be on a Shared Hotbar!!!

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.

Hi! This and paladin are my mains, so I hope these hotbars help someone! The inventory button should be replaced with the best potion of mind for your level.

The basics I want on my bar for easy access

SCH - 7.0 Dawntrail

Keybinds

1 2 3 4 5 6

The job with the least amount of buttons in the game It was extremely difficult to get this symmetrical

Spineshatter Dive = Winged Glide

Dragon Sight = Drakesbane

Not changes for new abilities, but changed to better fit new hotbar layout

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

Nothing much changed

Huraijin is gone and replaced with Hide (which is even more useless)

Nothing changes

DPS Icon 1 = Last Dance

No changes

Requires splitting Tempura to make it look aesthetic

Aethercharge = Lux Solaris

Might change this

Fire II = Flare Star
