SMNSummoner
This page lists all player-created hotbar (HB) and cross-hotbar (XHB) layout guides and keybindings for the Summoner Class/Job in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail.
New LayoutThe beast tribes of Eorzea worship and summon forth beings known as primals, among which are Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan. Yet what is a god to one man is a demon to another, for the city-states of Eorzea see these beings as a grave threat to their collective survival.
In times immemorial, there lived mages who had not only the power to summon the primals, but also the means to transmute the primals’ essences, thus binding them to their will. Known simply as summoners, the existence of these men and women and their arcane art have been all but lost to the ages.
Da'momo's Summoner
I created my chotbars to be comfortable, practical, and aesthetic. Nearly all same/similar skills are in the same position across all jobs/roles while allowing for as little finger gymnastics as possible.
My XHB is split between chotbars 2(left) and 7(right)
2 is unique to each job while 7 is shared. Emote icons are (duh) my favorite emotesa and the magnifying glass is my job changer.
Combined Pet Command Macro for slot LT, LT D-Pad Right:
/merror off
/pac Heel
/pac Place
/micon "Place" petUse once to place pet as normal, use again then cancel to call them back. Not as useful on SMN but hey.
Trusty SMN
SMN setup that took me to 90. Do I have Swiftcast all over the place? Sure, but that's because when I need it I hate scrambling for it. For the blank spots, I'll usually put in things that I use often out of combat (Eternal Bonding ring, treasure maps, WT, ect.)
Althea's SMN layout
A SMN layout that makes sense for my brain and how I play. Single Target on main, AoE on hotbar 2, which I usually switch to by hitting right bumper (R1) and then staying on that hotbar as needed.
Updated for 7.0!
SMN ->EW & Dawntrail levelling
This layout works for levelling SMN from 1 through Dawntrail
Trusty XHB
What ive used since the beginning. Both L2 -> R2 and R2 -> L2 bring you to the same hotbar to quick trigger over if youre using the STG or AOE side
SMN-Just hands on keyboard
For playing SMN on keyboard.
Bar2 activates with CTRL+ .
I set Bar3 to ALT+, but SHIFT+ also works.
1 thru 6 I use Left CTRL/ALT. 7 thru = I use Right CTRL/ALT.
Helpful key commands: F1 thru F8 target party members. T "changes to target's target"
I developed this layout after having my wireless mouse die on me in the middle of boss fights one too many times.
2 XHBs Lvl 100 Dawntrail
Thought Process
- single target on the right
- role actions in the same place as red mage build
- gcds on face buttons for movement because smn doesnt cast
- WXHB and Expanded XHB shared on hotbar 2 so cooldowns visible and dont have to use double tap
- AOE duplicated on XHB 3 because I expected to have to move it from XHB when smn got more abilities :/
- if you need room just keep whatever is comfier
- Legos in order for titan first opener
- Also, yeah that is just physick. Honestly probably just going to put lux solaris there
Radulf Rushe SUM 100
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:
- Necrotize: upgrade to Fester (no change needed)
- Searing Flash: Action Change from Searing Light (no change needed)
- Summon Solar Bahamut: conditional change on Summon Bahamut (no change needed)
- Lux Solaris: I think this is a new ability? [PLACEHOLDER: 1]
(I've never had much idea how2summoner so this is mostly here for completing the set for DT launch)

Noko steamdeck Summoner
How I set up my crossbars as a summoner 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 inventoryTHR SMN <90>
General XHB combat layout I use in game. Feel free to use it if curious on how the flow might gauge for you.
[MINDSET]
DYE represents placing the job's TINT in said slot.
Kreeger's Summoner
The XHB setup I use for my Summoner. 1-3 are unique to SMN, all else are shared between all jobs. XHB4's LT->RT pane is a selection of emotes. XHB7 is my job selector.
