Paladin IconPLDPaladin

For centuries, the elite of the Sultansworn have served as personal bodyguards to the royal family of Ul’dah. Known as paladins, these men and women marry exquisite swordplay with stalwart shieldwork to create a style of combat uncompromising in its defense. Clad in brilliant silver armor, they charge fearlessly into battle, ever ready to lay down their lives for their liege.

To be a paladin is to protect, and those who choose to walk this path will become the iron foundation upon which the party’s defense is built.

    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!

    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.

    Putting this up for a friend. I'm not a great tank so this is probably not optimal and/or is missing stuff. Not updated for 7.0.

  • Paladin IconPLD
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    PLD hotbars based on my GNB hotbars. I use a macro to combine both stuns. Note: I play PLD less than GNB so room for improvements, but wanted all the similar moves to be in the same spots.

  • Paladin IconPLD
    Cross Hotbar IconXHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    Circle macro is where I put my Strength Potions. Tank 1 macro is an Intervention macro targeting <2> Shirk is also a macro targeting <2> Bread icon is where I put my food. Shield icon near bread icon is Countdown macro. X macro is /cd to cancel countdown macros. Shield Lob is currently unbound, but put it wherever you find comfy.

    I have a normal hotbar above my main XHB to show the cooldowns of: Hallowed Ground, Wings, Intervene, Sprint.

    Here is my paladin hotbar, it's my main so I hope this helps someone trying to learn it! The inventory button on the third row far right should be replaced with the current potion of strength if you're a sweat :3

  • Paladin IconPLD

    P.V.E. IconPVE

    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.

  • Paladin IconPLD

    Peripherals are Corsair Scimitar Elite

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

    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.

  • Paladin IconPLD
    Hotbar IconHB
    P.V.E. IconPVE

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.
