Dragoon crossbar help

I recently started leveling a dragoon and while I love their look and their abilities I just can't seem to find a layout for my crossbar that doesn't feel awkward. My DRG is only level 34 atm but I like to go to PotD and set up my bar with all of my abilities so I can start building some of that muscle memory while I level. Any help from some fellow DRG's would be appreciated (I play with a PS4 controller in case that matters)

You can search my character name (Willybuch Vortex) on youtube i put up some guides on how to play on ps4 and you can see my cross bar.
Hope that helps.

bruh if i wasnt too drunk to figure out how to upload images here i'd show you my screencaps i took specifially for this thread. I'm a dragoon main on pc playing on an xbox controller and i have my shit set up to be kind of a natural linear progression through the rotation? i've found it to work really well. tomorrow i'll come back and figure out how to upload but i'm shitty drunk rn and basically useless

Were you also too drunk to remember that you posted this several days ago? :)

I keep Heavy+Impulsive combo on one side, ranged+other combo under it, BoTD and it's finishers+Geir on other side, with jumps under THAT. (so HT+I... on L, Ranged+other on L>R, BotD stuff on R with jumps on R>L)

I recently changed my controller to have L3 work with Macro 98 and R3 work with Macro 99, then plugged True North and Elusive Jump onto those buttons respectively. From there, I put any additional skills on the Hold L2 + R2 8 slots you get there and now I never have to tap R1 back and forth to get to my additional skills... everything is instantly press-able, super quick! Lastly, I made Hotbar 4 visible above my crossbar and put the skills on L2+R2 bar there so that I can see the timers on them without having to press L2+R2 to look at them.

It has been a huge help raiding with this new setup! More paying attention to mechanics and less time staring at crossbars is always a good thing!

Playing on controller you want to be as mobile as possible by keeping your left thumb on your control stick. This means keep your frequently used skills like your 1-2-3 combos on your right thumb buttons. Put long cooldown and less frequently used skills on your L+R or R+L crossbars and REALLY REALLY infrequent skills (ie. limit break) on the extended double-tap L or R crossbars.
