Hotbar 1 covers all single target actions and all role actions. Hotbar 2 covers all AoE actions and all role actions.

Hotbar 5 contains the few shared skills that don't fit on hotbar 1/2, along with Limit Break. Twinfang/Twinblood are behind the skills that activate them.

This setup is optimized to my style of play. I tried to minimize the amount of movement my trigger fingers do cause I get tired.

Built around RT Single Target LT AoE split, with most class buttons on the face buttons (A,B,X,Y), and role buttons on the D-Pad. Several buttons doubled to maintain comfortable play between AoE and Single Target combos. Assumes Sprint on L3 macro. Limit Break placed where I would have it if I didn't have a controller with keyboard command programmable buttons.

This layout puts most of the work on the face buttons and being comfortable with switching between Expanded and WXHB

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 dye represents potion, and Sprint and LB are macroed to L3/R3 respectively.

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

2 is for AOE combo > stays at the top 1 is for Standard combo (single target) > main bar 3 is for Role skills

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

Otherwise going to play around with this to see if I can make it better for me

Updated for latest patch

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

Single Target (L)

Mobs (R)

First take on Viper Hotbar

All important combo GCDs and oGCDs are on the face buttons for max mobility while weaving/doing positionals

I tend to put AOEs on the D-pad since they aren’t as important but Viper actually has more AOE GCDs than most jobs, so Pit of Dread (aoe Twinblade starter) was able to get a spot on the R2 + Square since there was real estate.
