I show Cross Hotbar 3 (Left) with both of the expanded trigger controls, so you can easily add in another 8 actions if you prefer, I use XHB 8 as a shared bar between all classes for traversal and general actions outside of combat. Role actions are consistent among my layouts, and so are general actions. The macro icon is a placeholder for a Tincture/Gemdraught.

I open with Onslaught to start the rotation with single or multiple mobs. I usually use Tomahawk just to pick up strays on wandering mobs. For my movement rotation I have my left high-hat setup as my movement, and my single and AOE attacks on my right 4 sets of buttons. That way I can still attack and move at the same time. I have also placed Shake It off on my right button so i can gather for a stack attack. The rest of the Crossbar is just the best place that works for me.

Equipment

This layout is designed around the following hardware:

Single target on RT + face buttons, AOE on LT + face buttons

Damage mitigation on LT + D pad, barriers and healing on double LT + face buttons

I use a mmo gaming mouse from razer called the Naga, the 3x4 grid is the exact layout as my mouse buttons. Hot bar 2 goes like this from left to right, top to bottom: 1, 2, 3, 4, Q, E, R, T, 5, -, =. The - and = are left and right on my mouse wheel, 5 is reserved for long cooldowns. Hot bar 3 is the same as 2 but with shift being held. The empty item between Tomahawk and Holmgang is a health Pot

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

RB toggles between 1 and 8 for AOE

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Maximum movement hotbars. Most common/important ability on face button. Gropued by sections: Defensives, Final combo GCDs + 25 sec, Tank functions, AOE, gap closers and range attack ect.

Peripherals are Corsair Scimitar Elite

All jobs will follow a similar pattern to make job transitioning simple and not so overwhelming

How I set up my crossbars as a warrior on steamdeck (Currently level ~65)

I try to play every classes/jobs, thus I tend to reuse same slots for same "functionality" across jobs.
