My basic Summoner hot bars

I don't know what I am doing!

My main Scholar layout

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.

Aethercharge = Lux Solaris

Gain Searing Flash. (Decouple from Searing Light. Teleport as placeholder.)

No new buttons otherwise.

? Macro = Searing Flash

Valen Bree

RT single target RT -> LT aoe LT lego, swift/raise/lucid LT -> RT rest of the buttons. smn doesn't have many

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)

This layout works for levelling SMN from 1 through Dawntrail

For playing SMN on keyboard.

Bar2 activates with CTRL+ .

Thought Process

• single target on the right
• role actions in the same place as red mage build
• gcds on face buttons for movement because smn doesnt cast
• WXHB and Expanded XHB shared on hotbar 2 so cooldowns visible and dont have to use double tap
• AOE duplicated on XHB 3 because I expected to have to move it from XHB when smn got more abilities :/
  • if you need room just keep whatever is comfier
• Legos in order for titan first opener
• Also, yeah that is just physick. Honestly probably just going to put lux solaris there

Used on Mixed Mode.

SMN setup that took me to 90. Do I have Swiftcast all over the place? Sure, but that's because when I need it I hate scrambling for it. For the blank spots, I'll usually put in things that I use often out of combat (Eternal Bonding ring, treasure maps, WT, ect.)
