Greetings everyone,
I'm a long time controller shut in who has used controller for only two things: PS4 and XIV. I play XIV on PC.
However I feel controller is too limited in terms of bringing out my full, hidden power. Doing 100 sit ups, 100 push ups, 10km run every day is not enough. So I am looking to become more acquainted with keyboard and mouse.
I have tried looking up similar threads, but the other posts focus more on equipment and expanded controller capabilities (of which I am already familiar with). Not quite the angle I am tackling here.
Here's an image of the setup I plan to utilize:

For reference, I am accustomed to using keyboard and mouse for a variety of styles of play already. From FPS to 3rd person action and even memorizing hotkeys for RTS'. But XIV has way too many functions that it appears it'll take maybe a year to be comfortable with keyboard and mouse.
I have seen a streamer who uses everything together: keyboard + mouse + controller. (Would it surprise you that she is a Japanese streamer? )
What are some decent conditioning tips to get more comfortable with keyboard and mouse?
For example: is it better to program OGCDs on the mouse while the hand using movement controls spams the 1+2+3 combo(s)? One thing I really struggle with is switching between hotbar sets during a fight.
Should I be regularly clicking actions with the mouse?
And don't get me started on different hotbar sets between jobs. It's like turning my brain off and then turning it back on after a long wait or pause.
My end goal is to ultimately never have to rely on the controller ever again for XIV. A 100% total conversion.
Thank you.
