I also have a vertical bar on the left for stuff I almost never use (or use in out of combat scenarios) such as target marking, gysahl greens, chocobo stances etc that is shared across all classes. I generally mouse click this.
Very much so, but since I'm a dual gamer and Sometimes My controller might not be available I have 3 horizontal bars 2 for skills, first row are common skills that you'd see on my crossbar and cntl+# for less used skills. The third bar is a shared bar for food and potions, my emergency bar. I also have 2 shared vertical bars one on either side of the horizontal and cross bar. one side is mounts, summoning companion, dye, materia melding and Limit break. The other side is quick job change icon so i can quickly change classes. especially useful if I'm applying to a duty on SCH but I'm soloing on SMN. You can drag the icons from you equip lists onto a bar, making it very useful. I do not put my crafting classes here as there's no big reason for me to Quick change to them.
