I like keeping my bars organized like my hands.

Bar 3 is on the left and bar 1 and 2 are stacked on the right so that they mirror as two full rows.

Bar 1 is bound directly down the numbers keys Bar 2 is below Bar 1 and is exactly the same +Shift

Bar 3 is bound as QWERCV Shift+QWERCV

Peripherals are Corsair Scimitar Elite

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

Hot bar 1 - All single target and buff abilities

Hot bar 2 (SHIFT) - All AOE abilities plus some role skills that I find are more important to have access to as shift is easier for me to access

Hot bar 3 (CTRL) - All tank mitigation abilities

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.

Also, why does PLD have so many buttons.

Single Target (L) Mobs (R)

Macro1: Fight or Flight/Expiacion

Macro2: Intervention<t>/Intervention<2>

Macro3: Cover <t>/Cover <2>

This layout is meant to be used with any sort of MMO mouse that has 12 buttons on the side. I chose 4x3 bars so that the layout represents the button layout on my mouse.

Bar 1 encompasses your single-target rotation. I was aiming for as little thumb movement as possible, so for the most part, you'll be zig-zagging along the side of the mouse: 1-2-3 combo into FoF & Req/Imperator, then back to the FoF button for Goring Blade, then CoC/Exp, then jumping back to Confiteor with Intervene woven in. Your filler attacks are assigned to the final row.

Bar 2 holds your AoE attacks and long-cooldown damage reduction abilities. I use SHIFT+# to access these buttons, so once you perform your 1-2 combo, you jump back to Bar 1 and perform the DPS rotation before jumping back to Bar 2 for filler attacks. The DR abilities are laid out in order of use when wall pulling in dungeons: Hallowed Ground -> Reprisal + Rampart -> Guardian + Arm's Length. The other defensive cooldowns are towards the back of the bar.

Bar 3 holds your other defensive abilities, Enmity control abilities, and tank stance. I use CTRL+# to access this bar. This is also a good place to put your food and XP buff items. I put them here rather than Bar 4 because Bar 4 is my shared bar.

I left Bar 4 blank because it can be whatever you want it to be - useful abilities across all your characters, like Mount/Minion summons, menu shortcuts, etc.

First version of Azeron layout. Hotbar 3 is center row of buttons, 1 & 2 are upper flick buttons, 4 & 5 are squeeze buttons. Actions on the upper halves of hotbars are shift (nub click) + 1-4 (pinky-pointer). Hotbar 4 sides are shift and outer buttons.

Might keep Goring Blade where is currently is depending on how I feel

PLD Layout 6.55 (Not 7.0-Able)
LT>RT remapped from Set 8 Left to Set 8 Right, only right half of Set 8 is used
Set 1 - Primary Skills / Defensive CDs ; Set 2 - Utility + Situational CDs ; Set 8 - AoE / DPS CDs / Major Defensives

Current WIP for updated hotbars in 7.0, focusing on minimising swapping hotbars in combat and keeping visual clarity on relevant buff cooldowns and maximising consistency across all jobs. Bar 1 is for single target, and Bar 2 for AoE.

The Glamour Plate button is being used in place of the newly added skill as needed, and the dye represents potion. Sprint and LB are macroed to L3/R3 respectively.

No new buttons.

Preliminary 7.0 Setup

Countdown Macro for slot LT, LT D-Pad Left

/cd 15

My goal is to normalize same/similar skill positions across all of my jobs for consistency and muscle memory. While also trying group skills in a thematically and aesthetically pleasing way.

Waiting for the new action images to get added in to fully get this good

Make sure to change Double tap L2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Left" and Double tap R2 to "Cross Hotbar 4 - Right"

90 -> 100 changes:

• Supplication/Sepulcher: Action Change for Atonement, basically replicates what the old three Atonement "combo" was (no change needed)
• Guardian: upgrade to Sentinel (no change needed)
• Imperator: upgrade to Requiescat (no change needed)
• Blade of Honor: Action Change from Imperator (no change needed)

I got used to starting my rotations from right to left.

This hotbar is pulled from Gingergaming's channel and is used for myself with some modifications to remove macro usage.

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

Mitigation

• Party Mitigations are located at Hotbar 2 (8-9) and Reprisal at Hotbar 3 Slot 4
• Crowd Control are found at Hotbar 2 (10-12)
• Self Mitigations are found easily accessible on Hotbar 3 (1-3)

Keybind

• 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.

Additional Notes

PLD has way too many buttons, even if some are not often used in end-game content. I have trouble placing them in a way that suits both early game content and end-game content, especially for the common OGCDs.

Paladin Hotbar v.1

(by the way, I have mapped my hotbars to bumpers instead of triggers, so instead of "RT (R2)", think "RB (R1)". It is much easier on my hands to hold R1 instead of R2 lol)

RT - Filler GCDs. Intervene is here so I can weave it into my pre-pull Holy Spirit to start my opener early as possible. These are the actions I use most often

LT - Burst phase. All the Paladin burst actions fit neatly onto the D-pad; I put it on the D-pad so I can smoothly alternate to Circle of Scorn and Expiacion on the RT side (which are also on the D-pad). Other role actions I may need to access quickly go on the face pad (and Shield Lob lol).

Basically, I hold RT during my filler phase, and I hold LT when it's time for my burst phase.

RT > LT & LT > RT: all mitigations are on both hotbars. This may be redundant, but I like that all I have to do to access mitigations is hold both shoulder buttons down, whether I am in my filler phase or burst phase.

RT, RT = Paladin actions I don't use regularly go here, as well as Provoke + Shirk for the same reason

LT, LT = My mob hotbar. All my AoE actions + my burst phase go here. Basically the hotbar I use in dungeons and add phases, but I could have easily put this into another hotbar entirely and give myself 8 free slots for macros and items (fireworks, maybe? :eyes: )

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

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

Used the following link to add keybinds to the back triggers : https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/vdnmji/advanced_controller_tips_for_steam_deck/

||| L4 -> Target nearest enemy ||| R4 -> Cycle through enemies (nearest -> furthest) ||| L5 -> Sprint ||| R5 -> Inventory

||| L2 + L5 -> Mount ||| L2 + R5 -> Armour chest ||| R2 + R5 -> Chobo inventory

Shirk, Cover, and Intervention are all macro'd to <2>

For players using mainly mmo mouse HB1 mouse 123... (for single target then AOE) HB2 CTRL+123... (for damage reduction) HB3 QERFXCV SHIFT+890... (for control and heal and things) HB4 GH (hidden)

Danee’s tried and true set-up for Paladin.

Notes: XHB 3 is shared, and contains the stance buttons for the other three tank jobs as well. Shield Bash is purposefully left out, because Low Blow makes it redundant and there’s no space to fit it anymore.

HB 1: [top row] 1 2 3 4 Shift+1 Shift+2 [bottom row] Q E R F Z X

[[Ctrl + numRow is hardbound to MMO-mouse]]

HB 2: Standard 1-2-3 Rotation is 4, 5, 6 on mouse

HB 3: Hold Shift + MMO-mouse button 3 = Potion

HB 10 [Hidden]: Sprint = G;

I'm a small streamer that loves FFXIV and many other things. The XHBs I publish are solely how I personally like to organize my Hotbars when on the controller! Feel free to use them if you too like them! Some are thrown together and some are planned out.
