How to pick a PVP Role Action in FFXIV
To assign a Role Action, open up the Character menu and then select “PvP Profile” to open up the PvP menu. This can be done anywhere, at any time outside of duties. With the PvP menu open, navigate to the Role tab on the left-hand side, and you’ll find Role Actions that apply to your current class.
Each role has a selection of three different Role Actions to choose from. Clicking on the action will choose that as your current active Role Action. At the bottom of the menu, there’s a generic Role Action button that can be assigned to your Hotbar, making for easy use within any PvP match.
You don’t need to worry about sticking to one Role Action, even if you’re in an active PvP match. If you want to select a different Role Action during a match, simply return to the starting point (or die, if you want to take a shortcut) and then repeat the steps above to assign a new Role Action.
