Hotbar 1 covers all single target actions and all role actions. Hotbar 2 covers all AoE actions and all role actions.

Hotbar 5 contains the few shared skills that don't fit on hotbar 1/2, along with Limit Break. Twinfang/Twinblood are behind the skills that activate them.

I don't use this job

A setup that tries to keep dual-wield on one trigger and twinblade on another. AOE mirrors on hotbar 3, anything common to ST and AOE is reached via extended hotbar L2-R2/R2-L2

2. AOE Combos

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

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

Updated for latest patch

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

Utilizing Main XHB, WXHB and Expanded XHB

XHB RT = Single Target Normal

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)

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

Uses XHB, double tap, LT->RT(which are almost the same for muscle memory). Also uses a bar for cooldowns you cant see on LT->RT

Uses sheathe weapon layouts too for run, food, teles, etc

Shoutout to Fyuria Tsukimori & Nanaki.

Single target on XHB 1 AOE on XHB 2
