Share your.. hotbars!

[Dzian]

I use a control pad and generally aim for the fewest button presses and trigger swaps possible. Got most of my jobs where I can pretty much operate of a single set of buttons plus the expanded hot bar. it does mean I duplicate a lot of skills but works well.

Sam

As you can see sets 1 and 2 are virtually identical the only real difference is the gyoten enpi and such are swapped with my aoe skills. so I rarely ever have to mess around changing sets. and don't really change triggers that often either. With this layout I can do my whole opener without swapping sets or triggers. Prime example of fluidity

Paladin

Same Kinda thing done here. Outside of maybe a couble of savage blade combo's at the start of a fight I can generally jump to set 1 and stay there for an entire fight... all my buffs and cooldowns are quickly accessible on the expanded bar.

Warrior

Again you can see the same kinda layout. done to minimise triggers in warriors case I don't even need a second set of buttons.

Most of my jobs are set up in a similar fashion as much as possible. It allows a decent flow of play without having to swap sets and triggers all the time. the less button presses the better.

The vertical hotbars on the left of my cross hotbars are just for cooldowns so I can see at a glance how long the recast is on guren or rampart or triple cast, and various other things depending on what job I'm on.
