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

[HEC]

Other option is (if you use mainly two ot bars) to have one button on each bar dedicated to quickly switch to other bar if the combinations of lets say R1 + Triangle and L1 + circle are too cumbersome for you. It's also recommended to have the battle strance bar set to your first bar if you prefer the automatic bar switching based on the stance.

@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.
