Spellcaster Gameplay Issues

Hello,

I just got my hands on a copy of early access and only have a Valve Steam Deck to play the game with. One thing I would like to say right off, is I'd noticed playing with a GamePad is vastly nerf'd compared to playing with the standard Keyboard+Mouse configuration. Too many technical issues and limited functionality to be fully enjoyed with my Deck vs. using a Computer -- sadly, the Deck is all I have. I do hope they update / fix these issues & concerns (like not being able to navigate / modify Tabs / etc. and a multitude of other things).
However though,

Mainly I'd just finished the First Act with the Huntress and it was pretty enjoyable. Sadly it wasn't as much as I was hoping for in having a class using a cross between Bow & Javelin. I literally only had 1× Bow ability and Never used it--only ever ended up using Spears... :(
After having finished the First Act, I'd wanted to re-visit it with a new build,, and had thought I would give a Fire + Ice -- or Fire + Electric -- Sorceress! :D
However--VERY Unfortunately...
Upon attempting to play, within the first roughly~twenty~minutes I ended up giving up and shutting down / Uninstaller. I kind of would like a refund if they don't Patch / Update/ FIX *this* IMMEDIATE Issue/Concern:
1.) No Wands / Staves / Sceptres / *Ceremonial Weapon&Item Abilities / Skillets?!?
...I comprehend that there are different caliber weapons in the game which offer different [a/e]ffects/attributes when equipped... but forcing you to equipped certain items to use abilities versus having the option of using the Skill-Gems system to acquire those specific skills is a BROKEN Mechanic and NEEDS to be Addressed & Resolved. Until then, I will not be playing this game.
***
Right when I'd made my Sorceress, I was given a Staff that had a Firebolt ability. I'd thought, "Cool, I was wanting to make a fire build." Next, I was given a Skill-Gem for Lightning*,, and I'd thought, "Okay... I'd of preferred a fire+ice combo, but this is okay to start till I see what all there is for Sorceress`".
Running around a little bit longer, I'd killed Hillock and made my way to town. After getting to the First Area, I'd found the primary weapon combination I'd wanted to use, a Wand + Focus. **UN-FUCKING-FORTUNATELY* Removing my Staff forced me to no Longer have my Fire-Ability to use, and I was now using Chaos Bolt instead! :O
So, I'd went back to town to use the Skill-Gem and see what sort of Fire Abilities I could use. ?!WtF!? There's only 1× Fire Spell (Fire Wall) and it's 100% USELESS.
-
Why are there sections for Bow / Mace / Quaterstaves / Etc. ... but NO Wands / Staves / Sceptres ?!?!? That is a BAD Design decision! They'd better be updating that when they come out with Swords -- which I'd noticed ARENT EVEN IN THE GAME
...
2.) No Basic/Standard *Attack* command.
-After equipping FireWall (which Suxx, btw) I'd constantly run out of Mana and would try to Melee them, but couldn't ... NO OPTION TO MELEE WITH STAVES / WANDS / SCEPTRES (?I'd never found any Sceptres)??!?


PLEASE FIX "Path of Exile 2" as (legitimately) IT IS THE ONLY GOOD* MODERN A-RPG (even if it is totally Broken*)


I just would like play a Fire+(Ice/Lightning) Sorceress with a Wand and Shield.
Why? Can't I? I should have the option to use Daggers / Wands / Sceptres / Staves / CeremonialWeapons / & Shields / Focuses -- ALL with the options for Skill-Gem Abilities. Incredibly Not-Cool that the only way to use FireBall is to equip a shortStaff. ... :(

To reiterate,
I only played as Sorceress for about half an our and barely made it to the Mud Pitts.
After having Died >30× times and ONLY having FireWall (+ChaosBolt) for my Fire Sorceress ... I'd thought it was PRETTY PATHETIC -- even for a Beta* -- and so I'd gave up on the game...

Because all I'd wanted was to run around with a Shield+Wand and cast FireBolt and other Fire Skill/Abilities along with (Later Eventually) Cold or Electric. ... but No!


...I couldn't even kill them by wacking them with my stix (as there is NO OPTION for a Standard* / Melee* / Throw* Attack* Option)!
What a joke.
