To my fellow players, how do you handle raids with tons of activity? I’m struggling with keeping up with the on-screen action and not over focusing on the casting bar and timers. Does it just take time to figure out the cadence of the actions?

    How do you set that up? What is the purpose for it?

    I forgot the name for it when I first wrote that, but it’s Button Chords in Steam controller layouts. The idea is that you have a button act as a different one when you have a modifier pressed. So if I use a single button for example, due to my mapping, while I have L4 pressed, A will act as Down on the D-Pad. This is useful because it allows me to continually move and still use all my abilities. Without this in place I’d have to remove my thumb from the left stick to use actions applied to the D-Pad, causing me to stop moving. Now I can move and use my D-Pad actions without any stopping. Even more useful when there’s large pulls in dungeons or I am dodging AOE but wanting to keep DPS going.

    Thanks for the advice, I have been using this https://www.xivbars.com/job/BRD/6188, but a bit modified.

    I see. I’m still not fully complete with all my abilities yet but this is what I have so far for mine with a few extras.

    It’s so pretty and cool looking though! I tried and then it got lost from my view. I’ll try again! I get it, but if you like it as it is, just leave it! It’s only minor space saving.

      This is 100% life changing, it has made it so much easier to execute the D-Pad slots. Thank you so freaking much!
