More Bard layouts

  • Bard IconBRD
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    From bun boss video but slightly modified

  • Bard IconBRD
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    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.

  • Bard IconBRD
    Hotbar IconHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    Description

    Core / Frequent Action items focused on Hotbar 1 (ST 1-6 & AoE 7-12)
    Secondary Actions/Buffs/Debuffs found on Hotbars 2 and 3

    Keybinds

    • HB1: 1-9, 0. -. =
    • HB2: Ctrl + 1-9, 0, -, =
    • HB2: Shift + 1-9, 0, -, =

    MMO Mouse

    Usage based on any of Razer Naga Variant
    Left/Right Scroll Wheel clicks allows Hotbar 2 and 3 gameplay solely on mouse.
    Keyboard gameplay can be eliminated entirely, although not recommended due to movement.

  • Bard IconBRD
    Hotbar IconHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    Bars 1-2 are on the number row (1 through =), with 2 being Ctrl+[key]. The general idea being either that the action on bar 1 leads to that on bar 2, or bar 2 is bar 1 but AoE or stronger or something of the sort. Bars 3-4 are on the numpad, and doubly so mapped on the side buttons on my mouse, with 4 being Ctrl+[key], although bar 4 is generally just assorted things for all classes to use.

Bard Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail W Cross Hotbar (XHB/WXHB) Planner and Simulator – XIVBARS

The word “bard” ordinarily puts folk in mind of those itinerant minstrels, fair of voice and nimble of finger, who earn their coin performing in taverns and the halls of great lords. Few know, however, that bards in fact trace their origins back to the bowmen of eld, who sang in the heat of battle to fortify the spirits of their companions.

In time, their impassioned songs came to hold sway over the hearts of men, inspiring their comrades to great feats and granting peace unto those who lay upon the precipice of death.

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.

  1. Select a FFXIV Job/Class

    Choose from and plan your hotbars for any of the FFXIV Class/Jobs

  2. Toggle between FFXIV Hotbar layouts

    Simulate either a Cross Hotbar (XHB/WXHB) or standard Hotbars layout.

  3. Drag & Drop Actions to Slots

    Slot any of the Combat and Role actions for your selected Class/Job, as well as any Menu Command, Macros, and other Actions.

  4. 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.
