Summoner UI setups?

I ended up using this. It gets the job done and the latter half of 2nd hotbar [food, alchemist button, blist button etc] could definitely be replaced by whatever. I found it pretty easy to access the first half of my 2nd hotbar using Ctrl+# of whatever I wanted to cast, so I put the not-too common skills there that weren't uncommon enough to put in the later half of the hotbars.
But if I had to give another SMN some advice I'd definitely tell you to make a form of those hotbars I have on the left. They're easy to click when I need to swiftcast raise/summon and it gives me a nice spot to put unique skills like Virus/Eye for an Eye/etc.

Honestly the most important thing in making a good hotbar for a SMN is making sure your DoT spells are in a comfortable and memorable position for you [not necessarily next to each other, whatever floats your boat]. Just mess around with the HUD and remember you can press Ctrl+Home to resize your selected hotbar.

Really dumb question, and I've been trying to search to find the answer, but how do you change the hotbar so it only shows a set amount of icons? Like how you have summons, resurrection, eye for an eye, etc and not the whole bar? Thanks!

In the Character Configuration window, then in the Hotbar Settings button you can tick an option called "Hide unassigned slots".
You don't have to untick it whenever you want to add a new skill/item to your hotbar, as dragging anything with your mouse temporarily shows the empty hotbar slots.
