Updated for Dawntrail
The idea for my DoH setups is that there is a main hotbar for the most common crafting rotation actions (for 80+), you press R1 to access all other quality, progress and misc. actions, and the middle hotbar is for crafting macros. "8", "4", "7" and "3" are for 80, 40, 70 and 35 Durability respectively. With the gold colour macros being 2 steps

for each job, I create a "hotbar" that is basically a monitor for cooldowns/any spell/skill I want to see the status of. These are the spells I have for Dawntrail

Thanks to Nanaki for the inspiration on this hotbar.
VPRXHBPVEAyria's Viper
2 is for AOE combo > stays at the top 1 is for Standard combo (single target) > main bar 3 is for Role skills

Comfortable Viper XHB
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
WARXHBPVEWarrior WIP
WIP for current warrior hotbar. Expanded XHB is enabled both LT - RT and RT - LT are set to Right 2. This allows for easy access to mits/healing regardless of which side of the HB you are working on. Right side for single target, left side for AOE, top bars for lesser used actions roughly based on the single target/aoe split.

Bars stacked with bar 1 on bottom and 4 on top
Bar 1 binds are generic, 2 uses [Ctrl]+, 3 uses [Shift]+, 4 uses [Alt]+

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

Mmo mouse set up
Everything is neatly lined up the way I like it. Normally i would put aoes same line as single target bar, but I like having scenic and starprism somewhere easily seen and pressed. pots go between smudge and sprint, but its all up to you!

Make sure to change Double tap L2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Left" and Double tap R2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Right"
FSHXHBPVEDawntrail Fisher - Flexible and Efficienct
XBars 1 and 2 are for normal fishing XBar 3 is for Spearfishing
I suggest Mooch, Mooch II, Consumables, Thaliak's Favor and Surface Slap are placed on hotbars to track procs and cooldowns.

General notes:
- "Main" hotbar is RT
- Frequently used abilities or important ones to use while moving go on the face buttons
- AoE versions of things go on expanded hotbar
- Only using one expanded hotbar so no LT>RT vs. RT>LT confusion during combat
- Infrequently used abilities go on WXHB
- Star button on WXHB is a focus target macro
Sage-specific notes:
- Sage has lots of single-target vs. AoE abilities, so placement on expanded hotbar mirrors this (Dosis/Dyskrasia, Diagonosis/Prognosis, Taurochole/Kerachole, Druochole/Ixochole, Haima/Panhaima)
- Philosophia placement mirrors that of Soteria (LT vs. LT-LT)
- Krasis on d-pad down to make it easy to cycle down to the tank and target them for it (down, down, RT+down)
- Remember to adjust your party list job priority!
- Zoe and Pneuma next to each other since they usually get used together
- Eukrasia on WXHB is a macro to turn it off
- Speech button on WXHB is a macro to indicate Swiftcast cooldown (i.e., when I will attempt to res again)

Althea's Picto Layout
A first run of a layout, influenced by my SMN and RDM layouts. ST on hotbar one, AoE on hotbar 2, other stuff on 3. I usually sit on either hotbar 1 or 2, depending on my needs, and switch between them with the R1 bumper.
Tweaked on 7/28/2024 - I added Rainbow Drip to the main two bars because it has a proc mechanism at times - you need to see that, not have it hidden on third bar!

How To Use This Planner
Creating the perfect hotbar interface setup in Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker using a controller is clunky and time-consuming. This simulator allows you to plan out your hotbar layouts using a web-based drag-and-drop interface to simulate different configurations before commiting it to your controller HUD in-game.
Select a FFXIV Job/Class
Choose from and plan your hotbars for any of the FFXIV Jobs
Toggle between FFXIV Hotbar layouts
Simulate either a Cross Hotbar (XHB) or standard Hotbars layout.
Drag and Drop Actions to Slots
Slot any of the Combat and Role actions for your selected Job, as well as any Menu Command, Macros, and other Actions.
Export to a Macro and Share With Others
Once you’re done configuring your Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker hotbar layout, save or share your layout with the generated URL. You can also export your layout to a macro that you can use to import your layout into the game.
