PLD 7.0
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.
PLD 7.0 for MMO Mouse
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.
Paladin Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail W Cross Hotbar (XHB/WXHB) Planner and Simulator – XIVBARS
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.

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.
