Help! Only PS3 FFXIV drops weapon stance when using item?

[QUOTE=ForteXX;1874600]Weapon being sheathed or not has -absolutely- no effect on anything.[QUOTE]
Yes it does, But only if you set it up that way. You can make it so only certain hotbars are available when sheathed or in attack stance. Going by TC posts it sound like he has his bars set this way ,and with No attacking skills on his sheathed hotbars. Though he could just select enemy then initiate auto-attack by pressing X to go into attack stance.

Though the only benefit to using that option is not having so many hotbars to cycle through. I just got used to manually selecting other hotbars(by holding R1 to pull up selection hotbar) instead of cycling through them, Since I started with Arcanist and cycle button turns into pet bar button with pet out.

Disabling Auto-sheathe weapon when not in battle.' option.
Wouldn't help, because is not auto-sheathe when not in battle but auto-sheathing while using item, which there is no option to dis-able.

@Highlanderx & @Estellios - exactly my problem. Settings from an early hotbar recommendation I've just "had" since low levels. Re-evaluating this whole setup now ... :-)

BTW, it seems that the PC version lets you keep several hotbars on-screen at once, which would make it so mucheasier to switch between - just mouse-clicks away I assume?

Yes, but then you have to deal with juggling the gamepad and mouse/KB. It does work if you get used to it, I have a friend that uses long cooldowns and items this way. I mostly use the extra hotbars to see the the recast times on abilities that are not on my main bar.
