I am playing back through PoE and have this same problem with my paladin. Workarounds posted above do indeed work, but not really worth the effort if you quicksave a lot. I'm hoping for a fix as this does annoyingly break immersion for me (I try to ignore it I really do, but how can I dispense sweet justice while awkwardly walking?), but my guess is that PoE maintenance is low priority since PoE II is right around the corner. But it would be much appreciated.
