- I had a lot of people asking me about this, so here's an extra bonus video this week going over my HUD and UI layout that I use for raiding in FFXIV!

As a tip for being able to visualize your UI in a raid setting without affecting other players while you set it up, you can go into The Mothercrystal, an 8 man trial with NPCs in EW, and set it up there
Good call! I’ll keep that in mind for future stuff
Nice, simple and clean video. None of that dreadful CZcamsr speech and intonation. Keep up the good work. Subscribed.
Great video, lots of good advice. I remember you saying you're new to content creation but come across as someone who's genuinely been doing it for years effortlessly.
Just wanted to share what helped me personally.
I made my hotbars smaller so they didn't block anything on screen.
I use and MMO mouse so I changed the shape of my hotbars to match the same layout as the mouse.
I moved the boss health and debuffs down to right above my hotbars so my eyes don't have to go from the bottom of the monitor to the top and back down. I find it useful for seeing when other players activate boss debuffs.
I split my personal buffs/debuffs off to the side and made them a lot bigger to help me see.
I made the boss cast bar huge and put it right near the boss's health bar.
I changed the camera tilt from default to 60-70.
I changed other players effects to simple.
Great video! Also, you've got a real chill and laidback vibe brother. 🔥 Recently found your channel and so thankful I did.
Very helpful and thorough video as always. You are a natural teacher, with great explanations. Love to see your channel grow.
Controller player as well, I have moved my level/xp bar to the right of my hp/mp on the very bottom of my screen, so that my hotbars can be even lower. The limit break lines are to the left on the very bottom.
Wmvery helpful video my hud is almost the same, I was unsure how to separate boss cast bar buffs and you just saved me thank you so much
LONG HAVE I WAITED
as a tank player, i like the target bar being just above my hotbar, because target of target makes managing agro much eaiser, especially in dsr
You know what I just realized? You remind me a lot of the Japanese Language teacher Dogen here on CZcams, you both have that nice chill vibes. Commenting and liking for the algo-riddim.
rockin the new tea lance. NICE
If using controller and unable to right click to focus target, you can instead create a macro and assign that macro to number 99 which is the right stick click by default also known as R3. Also, the left stick is number 98 macro for L3. Example I use L3 to summon mount and R3 for Set focus target.
I'm similar, but you can hit square (or X for Xbox) to open the context menu to select Focus Target. I map R3 to random mount, with a Sprint failover. If I want to sprint instead of mount on the overworld map, I just jump and press R3 and it will simply failover to sprint. I use L3 for sheath/unsheath, primarily because you can configure tab targeting based on the state of your weapon.
Thats a neat trick. But tbh setting a focus Target doesnt require much Time. Would be nicer if it stays after a wipe though. But i also have a Sprint Macro on R3.
One good thing I’ve noticed with moving the camera up is that I tend to have my eyes on my character or the boss, so if your feet are just above your hot bar I spend less time looking down then up.
Crazy, I was watching this video for anything I could use to maybe just tweak my layout, but I've got a very similar setup to what you have. I think I will move that cast bar up some so that it's over my character.
I'm also on the same size and ratio monitor, and was surprised with how many of these things I already do. However my screen had much more clutter because I unhid KBM hotbars to duplicate certain key abilities in my rotation so I see them at a glance. With your advice to memorize rotation outside of combat, a lot of these things are making sense. One thing I was surprised by, was that your minimap is so far away. Maybe it's just because I'm a PLD, but I've been trying to keep it closer to where I can see it. Pointing the boss north can be a pain on some fights. I also move my camera up, just like you do. But I was surprised that you had the enemy cast bar right where your characters feet are.
Thanks for all the tips!
I don’t really use the mini map for reference, usually just look at the markers in the arena. That’s all personal preference though!
@@99_Vit That's a good point.
How do you show ping ingame? I assume it's a plugin but I absolutely need that myself
Yeah, it’s through xiv launcher, just a dalamud plugin. This is pretty much the only thing I use so I can see if my connection is dying. Not sure why this isn’t an in game feature tbh
@@99_Vit Thank you!
God this makes me want an ultra wide lmao
It’s very good
33:30 you're right that it's personal preference, but I find that no matter how different someone else's hud might be, it's still going to be better than the default. IDK how the default layout is so bad when every live letter you see layouts that are non-standard lmao
It's pretty much an advantage to have an ultra wide in this game.
just put buffs/debuffs at 200% in the middle of the screen. The rest does not matter xD
Lol you play on controller. There is no hud
