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.

RT, RT for actions that are used less frequently (or that I haven't unlocked and don't have a home for yet). LT, LT is the standard layout for my ranged/caster DPS classes.

My setup for my g600 mouse.

Yay Carbie!

Bar 1

1 2 3 4 5 6

For playing SMN on keyboard.

Bar2 activates with CTRL+ .

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

A SMN layout that makes sense for my brain and how I play. Single Target on main, AoE on hotbar 2, which I usually switch to by hitting right bumper (R1) and then staying on that hotbar as needed.

Updated for 7.0!

for each job, I create a "hotbar" that is basically a monitor for cooldowns/any spell/skill I want to see the status of; I also have a hotbar with Role spells & skills, and, Sprint. These are the spells I have for Dawntrail. I use Hotbars 2 & 10 but you can use any Hotbars you want.

Tartarus Pro Layout:

01 = Sprint
06 = Ctrl
11 = Alt
16 = Teleport
17 = Mount
18 = Character
19 = Map

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)

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