    WHM lvl 50 what's your hotbar set up?

    I'm new to level 50 and between raiding and relic quest, I've found myself switching my hotbars around, getting used to the new actions and trying to figure out what works best for solo fight AND parties. Just wondered what works for other WHM!

    Clockwise mine are

    R2 Buttins: Medica II, Stone II, Cure I, Fluid Aura
    R2 DPad: Medica I, Regen, Aero II, Esuna

    L2 Buttons: Sprint, Cure II, Protect, Presence of Mind
    L2 Dpad: Stoneskin, Divine Seal, Raise, Shroud of Saints

    Then I have to switch to my secondary hotbar often to access Benediction, Holy, Repose and Cure III

    I keep swapping Fluid Aura for Cure III though since I barely use it

    I solo a whole lot. I keep all my offensive skills on R2, and all my heals on L2. I also have a horizontal hotbar above the crossbar for potions, ethers, and elixirs, as well as big CDs like disease, SoS, and Protect. It's a unique setup because I play with both the gamepad AND keyboard/mouse ........ which works very well for me personally.

    So basically, I keep all the short cooldowns on the crossbar (what I use the most) and the long ones up top so they're not wasting space while on cooldown. It makes it so I don't have to swap hotbars ever.

    Also, I find Fluid Aura one of the most useful skills for soloing. Stone 1 + Aero from far away (causing Heavy and DoT), spam Stone 2 until enemy is in range for Fluid Aura, then knockback and bind. Even the highest level enemies are dead by the time they reach you again. It's also a good escape plan sometimes >.<

    Middle row (normal keys): heals and mostly used buffs
    Upper row (ctrl+key): abilities affecting heals and eye macro
    Bottom row (alt+key): nukes and virus (focus target and target separately)

    Works very well otherwise but I tend to click raises and Holys. I'm also still learning to use my MMO mouse...

    Kudos to you if it works, but I honestly don't understand clicky-healers. How do you do it? It seems like it'd be very inefficient to me.

    I'm much the same as Veri Ni

    HotBar 1 - my heals and buffs. for dungeon only. different lay-out, but same items as Ver Ni But I don't have sprint.
    HotBar 2 - my solo stuff. So mix of damage and heals and buffs, with my Cleric
    HotBar 3 - duty roulette low. Just cos I love running lower level dungs, I have a set up for <30
    HotBar 4 - a mess, with mounts and potions and crappy skills. I must sort that out

    I can tab thru them quick enough when needed. Ocassionaly done a tab and derped..but in general pretty neat.

    So, yeah, a specific one for high level dungeons/instance, my solo and a low level hotbar.

    What I meant by that was me clicking those two abilities (Holy and Raise) is an issue in my current setup and one that I'd like to solve. For everything else I use keys or mouse buttons which doesn't require me to move my hands a lot. All my heals and buffs are mouseover macros.

    I hope to learn to use my mouse buttons effectively so that I won't have to use keys for anything else but self-buffs too.

    I usually keep a generic bar with sprinting and stuff /DPS/minor heal bar, and a dungeon healing bar. My dungeon healing bar has:

    R2:
    Cure I, Presence of mind, Virus, Divine seal.
    Eye for an Eye, Stoneskin, Protect, Medica 2

    L2
    Medica 1, Raise, Cure 2, esuna
    Regen, benediction, swiftcast, Shroud.

    And yes, it's cluttered. My monitor is 4:3 1280x1024. I don't have much area to put my stuff

    Edit:
    I have Sprint on shared bar at Shift+Space.
    I do have Mouse Middle Button. I use it to switch Target Filters, so I can tab through enemies between free enemies or currently engaged enemies. Just saying if you wonder why I have mouse extra but not use middle button
