Making Positionals Easier To Remember

[Daniolaut]

Monk:

Is the easiest Melee.
Side/Flank- Dragonkick, Twinsnakes, Snap Punch
Rear-.........Bootshine, True Strike, Demolish.

Set those up based on your hotbar for combo. A good gamepad set up for all melee dps is

Square > Triangle > Circle
or
One > Two > Three

You can do "left side" is rear, and "right side" is flank.

Or even more laid out:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(L2)
Square > Triangle > Circle
Bootshine > True Strike > Demolish
(R2)
Square > Triangle > Circle
Dragonkick > Twinsnakes > Snap Punch

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragoon:

Same set up.
Chaost Thrust combo on left
Full thrust combo on right.
-then
Wheeling thrust as the "Left digital button" since its a rear combo
Fang and Claw as the "Right digital button" since its the "flank combo"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

(L2)
Cross
Heavy Thrust
(L2)
Square > Triangle > Circle
Impulse Drive > Disembowel > Chaos Thrust
(R2)
Left D-Pad
Wheeling Thrust
(R2)
Square > Triangle > Circle
True Thrust > Vorpal Thrust > Full Thrust
(R2)
Right D-Pad
Fang and Claw

-----------------------------------------------------------
Ninja

Rear is Left, flank is right.
---------------------------------------------------------------

(L2)
Is ninjitsu
(R2)
Square > Triangle > Circle
Spinning Edge > Gust Slash > Aeolian Edge
(R2)
Square > Triangle > Right D-Pad
Spinning Edge > Gust Slash > Armor Crush
(R2)
Square > Triangle > Cross
Spinning Edge > Gust Slash > Shadow Fang

-------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Since L2 is used for Ninjitsu, a great way to remember with this "left to right S>T>C combo you can set up ninjitsu the same way to helpe remember it.

Jin > Chi > Execute , or S>T>C. Is single target
Then Jin > Ten > execute or S>X>C is AoE.
For S>T>X>C, backwards ending with Square is Trick attack action,
and all three opposite is opposite. or
S>T>X>C is "Single Target" Speed buff, and
S>X>T>C is AoE,

(If you want to keep the "right is side" you can even move Shadow Fang as Circle, I like to Keep Aeolian Edge as circle cause its used more often.)
Samurai
Rear is left, flank is right.
---------------------------------------------------------

(L2)
Square > Triangle > Circle
Hakaze > Jinpu > Gekko
(L2)
Square > Cross
Hakaze > Yukikaze
(R2)
Square > Triangle > Circle
Hakaze > Jinpu > Shifu

------------------------------------------------
Whats especially nice about this SAM set up, is that the Sen Gauge is laid out in such a way that going from left to right, your Left combo is the left icon, the "down" or middle 2 hit combo is the middle icon, and the Right combo is the right icon.

easy peasy.
