  1. The most important MUST for EVERYONE is to put the target's castbar in the middle of your screen somewhere and make it BIG.

    The reasons being… The cast being big enough to see in your peripheral making learning new jobs and completing mechanics successfully easier, makes keeping track of the boss' moves simple.

    Not intrusive as some enemies do not use casts often in normal gameplay and when they do it's very quick or very important.

  2. I use a controller (still on PC, though) and have a lot of similarities to your layout. I also have macros to hide and show UI elements (like the quest list). Your stuff here has given me an idea of how to move around my party list and LB bar, so thanks for that. 🙂
