I should not have to hit R1 to cycle hotbars. I use 31 buttons on dragoon, and my double tap bars are static. Most are mostly buffs and role abilities, as well as things like feint and true north. bar R1+2 is my aoe. I should not be forced to use this bar, but my aoe does not fit on the others.

SAM is uncomfortable. I managed to get it to all fit on one set, but it's cluttered and not everything makes sense where i put it because there's no room to put it where it makes sense to me. Rotational buttons I should never have to double tap anything for, it's awkward.

Most jobs my ST combos are on R2 face buttons, aoe on L2 face buttons. Can't work like that for DRG.

I'd complain less if the simpler jobs didn't suck complete arse damage wise right now(balance was a hell of a lot better in prior expansions and even patches) or have garbage stat allocation on the available gear without having to do savage making rotations feel like trash.

Ugh.
So for the way I set up most of my jobs, I use a total of 3 bars, but the third is usually extra stuff if a job is able to fill out the first two with the brunt of its kit.

Cross 1, cross 2 (accessed by R2->L2 and L2->R2), and cross 3 through the double tap method you mentioned. That's a total of 48 buttons without having to use R1 for anything.

If that still doesn't help you, then it really is just a you thing, and not so much a problem with certain jobs. I fit drg fairly comfortably on my bars. Pld, I think I had like... 2 or 3 skills that I had to place on bar 3, which I don't particularly like to do.

Granted, none of the bars I access through the setup I mentioned are shared. Those are the ones I go to manually with R1
