    PvP Hotbar Help - Default order/list for 5.0 abilities?

    Simple question.

    I hadn't done PvP in 5.0, but I've also been out of the game since beating the main story because life. But I have all jobs to at least 50 just for fun, and tried to do PvP tonight.

    Hotbar had tons of stuff grayed out. I just figured since you get condensed version of the jobs, it would just have the new stuff up. I know I can go to the Wolve's Den Pier to access the PvP hotbar for editing, but, I have no idea what the default sequence is for PvP versions of abilities.

    Yes, you can customize, but I prefer to know the basic default since I barely remembered how most jobs played up to 50 prior to 5.0. It me helps to start with the default order to kind of get the logic of the job down. Is there anywhere at all to see that?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for helping make the FFXIV community a fun and welcoming place. If you're not sure you have (and you very likely have), make it a point to be patient or helpful the next time you log in so that you can know you've made a difference.

    If you're on the Aether data center, congratulations! I might be your next exciting adventure healer in the Duty Finder. Please look forward to it.

    Or if not default, an order that would help a total noob "get" the logic the job.

    I liked the way things were set up in 4.x because SE basically let you get a sneak peek of later levels. Not sure why the old stuff for 5.0 wasn't auto-replaced since it's its own thing anyway separate from PvE, but, that's OK.

    Remove your grayed out abilities. Go into pvp profile, then put on your other abilities. Then assign some additionals and equip those.

    For me, personally. I have my main combo on 1, my dot/sustain combo on 2 then I put my burst abilities on 345. I put another burst ability on c, then have fgh as my sustain abilities.
    Then rty will be my macros, usually for targeting and then I'll put cc abilities and macros on q and e.


    Not optimal and I use a bit more than that, but you should really works what's best for you dude, like map stuff out on your keyboard or controller, then queue fls or training and change it based on what you want to press and how easy it is to press, as well as making macros to accomplish certain things.

    All dps and to an extent tanks have a 15 second soft burst and a 30 second hard burst, give or take a few seconds.

    Form a soft burst that's upwards of 5k across 2/3 gcds and ogcds and a hard burst that's 7.5k+ ish over the course of 2/3gcds.

    It'll vary based on the job, like blm for example just has one hard cast then like 2/3/4/5 ogcds depending on what you're using.

    Experiment and wait till 5.1 guides are dropped
