Main combo moves, I put on the right hot crossbar. For monk, specifically, I put the formerly rear positional combos on the face buttons and the formerly flank moves on the face buttons (right button being move one, left move two, and down being move three) Triangle used to be the button I used for the dots, but most jobs no longer have this, and currently I have riddle of wind there, and up being used for feint so I can easily weave it into my normal combos. It's also now where I keep shadow of death for reaper since that functions similarly to a dot in its management aspect.

The left cross bar I use for things like iajutsu, ninjitsu, and on the face buttons, some of the main off OGCD skills that I just want to be able to weave in like forbidden chakra, as well as left triangle for movement skills, or skills that can be used for movement, like thunderclap, hell's ingress, and gyoten. I try as much as possible to mirror moves with similar function on all jobs in this manner so that no matter what job I swap over to, I can more or less use similar muscle memory to play them.

I also intentionally don't include skills such as bioblaster that are specifically for AOE on the same hot bar with the single target moves in order to save slots and attempt to keep all my rotation, as much as possible, in the 16 slots provided.
