Comprehensive controller support

Hello I am asking for comprehensive support using a gamepad or controller.
At the current mostly navigation is possible but I have found no way to use the controller during combat other than with all battlements on auto so that basically the character is autocasting constantly while D-pad is operating movement. The focus of the character remains wherever the mouse cursor was last so it depends on the auto-casting to survive but the play feels jank and it would be nicer to play longer periods with controller support being upgraded. Where the focus is also controlled by controller and that even the sword could be used manually to give more of an interactive feeling.
Thus far I am reverting back to keyboard and mouse for battle and then to controller for travel. It would be very nice to be able to maintain using one piece of hardware.
