Ahhhh! Love how smooth you can use your hotbars. As for their layout... ::cringe:: But hey, whatever works, right?

I don't think your hotbar is wrong.
But, IMO, (and understand, O's are subjective) on your main bar you've got Overpower on the always d-pad side, flash is on the left toggle. and provoke is on a whole other hotbar. that's a lot of jostling for the skills that reap the most aggro. Overpower on the d-pad side (left thumb) scares me cuz you have to stop moving to spamm it.

These things are ok on primals/bosses cuz you're typically only fighting one mob, and your main aggro or hlr chain works fine. But, for lots of adds/speedruns the right-thumb (on the move) spammable overpower/flash marco just cant be beat (again, IMO). Also, with the addidion of L3/R3 marco assignments, freeing up hotbar space by placing T-hawk/provoke/overpower/cooldown spammable/whatever on R3 is almost a necessity. It's a free, on-the-move pallette you never have to switch hotbars for. It's the best button on the ctrlr atm.

i can use my right thumb for the left stick when i need to op
op isnt something youre going to use on the move all that often anyway though
and i have provoke"under" tomohawk and butchers, so i can tap a trigger and be back really quickly

"The Claw" will always provoke a ::cringe::

huh? I constantly op on a mob in the middle of a group and move so AOEs don't touch me. If I stopped for OPs I think the HLR would kill me for not dodging.

I don't have any problem dodging and using op
plus there's the whole gcd thing, so it's not like even if you don't claw you'll not miss that many due to moving
