DPS Hotbar setups (PS4)

[GrymmWraith]

Thought it would be a useful idea to create a thread for everyone to post their hotbar setups when using the crossbar setup for controllers. I had seen a thread specifically for Summoner but why not compile it all in one place!

I've had a lot of trouble optimizing my hotbars so I figured other people are also having this issue occasionally.

My bars for Dragoon. I'll make up some similar stuff for PLD and WHM tomorrow and post those up, too. I recently swapped out Ring of Thorns for Mantra because my WHM asked me to start using it in A3S, and RoT has no place outside of dungeons/AoE crap where I just can tap R1 to get there anyways.

I also have my DRK bar all planned out, and gonna be working on BLM, next. I'll post those once I have them, too, with a little paint.net magic to fill in the skills I don't know yet. xD

I've personally understood the fascination of looking of other people's hot bars.

Don't you guys play with muscle memory

[seekified]

Muscle memory is needed to play optimally, yeah.

Generally, Extended Crossbars and /chotbar macros for pet classes are your best friends to streamline things and minimise the number of actual skills on your bars.

I set mine due to muscle memory and put my DOTs in the keys I automatically use whenever starting a dungeon/trial/raid. I also keep Bane in an easily accessible spot near my other DPS options, my summon close to my Ruin II, and my Aetherflow options close at hand. I keep a macro for LB(for those rare dungeons where I'm actually allowed to use it) and a macro for rezzing should it be needed. Other than that, the other places I set for what I deem fits the situation. Not the best SMN I admit, but I'm not the worst.
