It’s kind of buried in another topic, but there are options. There are now 2 predatory weapons which are more suited for sorcerers. I do admit, it does suck you can no longer do combos, but you aren’t defenseless and it will take some playing around with legendaries and stat combos and almost relearning how to fight.

edit: abyssal armor or light armor is HIGHLY recommended. I have another topic that details the effect of armor class, weight and max stam on stamina exhaustion regen delay.
