This is a separate cross hotbar for single target and aoe. Hope you enjoy! :)

Just copied Nanaki's

Designed with minimal swapping between 1 and 2. Most GCD on the non-D pad to help with attacking and moving. Hotbar 8 L and R are same so no thinking. Hotbar 1 is Single target while Hotbar 2 is AOE minded. Hotbar 2 has mount + sprint so keep in mind. Dye = Pot for raiders, if not than whatever you want. Enabled customization when weapon is drawn/sheathed Hotbar 1 + 2. That means hotbar 3 you will manually have to switch to if you need stuff on there. part of my Tank series where similar skills are in the same spots and play roughly in same style. Please Enjoy!

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

Wip

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.

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.

Equipment

This layout is designed around the following hardware:

Hotbar 1: The good ol 1-2-3 combo on top, then the single + AoE oGCDs along the right side, then the legacy spot for Sprint. Next row down is AoE 1-2 combo. Then next row is the ranged and gap close, which thankfully still works as a free damage button in 7.0. Then the two bursties.

Hotbar 2 (ctrl): A few oddities in here. Top left is the burst hitter. Next is technically the alternative 3 in the 1-2-3 combo, since it felt more fluent to press 1, 2, ctrl+2. Next is the single-target spender. This was just built on the rotations as I leveled up and placed these actions accordingly. On row 2, bloodwhetting and the AoE spender just had to be neighbours. Row 3 has the job-specific mitigations, although now that I re-read the tooltip, Thrill and Bloodwhetting could be great vertical neighbours. Row 4 has the straight up heal, low recast time shield-a-friend, and team shield.
