Am I only person who's way more disappointed in the Sorcerer than literally any other class/archetype? I mean I know the Beastmaster (and to a lesser extent the Way of the Four Elements Monk) certainly seem much weaker than they are, but the Sorcerer (and to a lesser extent the Berserker) actually are at a significant disadvantage due to their design, and few people seem to bat so much as an eyelash over them.
The beastmaster and 4e monk are weaker. But they're just subclasses. The Sorcerer is a weak class. Personally I fix it by trimming the Wizard's spell list.
