    How often do you change up your hotbars?

    Shuffling skills, changing up keybinds, rearranging layouts. How well do you adjust to change and induce it yourself?

    Aside from dealing with new/obsolete skill changes, I'm not sure I've changed my hotbars much in several years. But, starting to find a need for more button access, and starting to play around with new keybinds that I should've seen ages ago. Might still take a bit to develop new muscle memory though.
    Also feeling like sometime soon-ish I might have to start playing around with hotbar swapping/hiding macros or something, for non-combat related buttons.

    I'll change them once when I start leveling them/finish leveling them, usually leaving them weirdly shaped, then not again.

    Unless it's like last year when I got a new computer, then I had to do everything all over again since I didn't save the settings, oof.

    Very rarely, and this holds across jobs within the same role as well. I just have places where I like to have certain abilities and will even tend to keep those similar abilities in the same places across multiple jobs.

    So, yeah, unless something drastically changes about a job at a fundamental level I at most just tinker with my buttons.

    Never.

    I have keybinds that I've used for a very long time, I have a hotbar layout I set up when I started the game based on my hotbar layout from another game. I never deviate from this or change it.

    My core hotbars stay the same, I rely on muscle memory for a lot ahah. Biggest change I do is when I'm done leveling a class I strip it down to the barebones needed for my rotation and stuff in a trial. IE Smn went from needing 3 hotbars (barely... I just needed consistency for role actions ahah) to needing 1 hotbar for the rotation and one hotbar for summons.

    But I do regularly change up my menu macro!

    I change my HUD and keybainds if I change the way I play the game. An example would be moving from a normal Keyboard/Mouse to using an MMO mouse.

    I only change my hotbars when the skills change. Otherwise they all follow a very common theme and pattern which works across jobs within roles. For instance all my flank/back positional skills (yeah there's not a lot anymore) share positional buttons on the controller: Dpad right, or Dpad down. This way whatever DPS i'm playing that uses them I can be sure I'm doing it right.

    So pretty much I only change the skills when the Devs change them such as when a new expansion releases.

    Generally never. But it might change very very slightly (1 button swap it most) if i will pick the job for raiding.

    Depends on what changes happen when an expansion releases....basically just removing skills that were removed and adding new ones. That's basically the only time I change the bars after first setting them up
