Hail JoCat! DEUS VULT

Updated for Dawntrail

Buttons consistent for similar job actions (Dye = Potion)

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!

Single target on RT + face buttons, AOE on LT + face buttons

Damage mitigation on LT + D pad, barriers and healing on double LT + face buttons

MMO mouse setup with modifiers.

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

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

Just copied Nanaki's

Equipment

This layout is designed around the following hardware:

WIP for current warrior hotbar. Expanded XHB is enabled both LT - RT and RT - LT are set to Right 2. This allows for easy access to mits/healing regardless of which side of the HB you are working on. Right side for single target, left side for AOE, top bars for lesser used actions roughly based on the single target/aoe split.

I am not a great tank, but I do play WAR in solo content at times and this is the layout I came up with that works for me. Not updated for 7.0.

Maximum movement hotbars. Most common/important ability on face button. Gropued by sections: Defensives, Final combo GCDs + 25 sec, Tank functions, AOE, gap closers and range attack ect.

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.

I use a mmo gaming mouse from razer called the Naga, the 3x4 grid is the exact layout as my mouse buttons. Hot bar 2 goes like this from left to right, top to bottom: 1, 2, 3, 4, Q, E, R, T, 5, -, =. The - and = are left and right on my mouse wheel, 5 is reserved for long cooldowns. Hot bar 3 is the same as 2 but with shift being held. The empty item between Tomahawk and Holmgang is a health Pot
