Prioritizing instant casts on face bars, painting on D-pad with swift nearby.

Shoutout to Fyuria Tsukimori & Nanaki.

Single target on XHB 1 AOE on XHB 2

Built around RT Single Target LT AoE split, with most class buttons on the face buttons (A,B,X,Y), and role buttons on the D-Pad. Several buttons doubled to maintain comfortable play between AoE and Single Target combos. Assumes Sprint on L3 macro. Limit Break placed where I would have it if I didn't have a controller with keyboard command programmable buttons.

This layout puts most of the work on the face buttons and being comfortable with switching between Expanded and WXHB

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

Thought Process

• GCDs on face buttons for easy movement while pressing-
• WXHB and Expanded shared on XHB 2 so can see Expanded cooldowns
• Left trigger, XHB 1 starts opener
  • rear positional on bottom buttons and flank on side
• Right trigger bar is mainly used for filler GCDs and the reawaken part of the burst
• duplicate actions because we have so much space so trying to limit having to swap triggers and help with weaves
• AOE on bar 3 to switch to when needed saves room (not really needed, just a habit from other jobs)
• sprint on L3
• macro on XHB 2 is pot

2. AOE Combos

3. Single Target Combo. Potion goes LT Right D-pad

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)

i love this set up it allows for easy access to to ogcds whatever trigger you are holding. also easy reawaken combo and gcds are on face buttons so its easier to move while attacking

My starter Viper hotbar for Dawntrail, designed to be played with an MMO mouse.

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 dye represents potion, and Sprint and LB are macroed to L3/R3 respectively.

2 is for AOE combo > stays at the top 1 is for Standard combo (single target) > main bar 3 is for Role skills
