So at level 5 a Sorcerer can, by converting all but the level 3 slots into sorcery points and then all sorcery points into level 3 slots, get Haste 5 times a day. At level 6 this goes up to 6 times, which is the suggested number of encounters a day according to the DMG.
Now Haste is better than Extra Attack. Unlike Extra Attack, Haste will double your speed, increase your AC by 2 and let you vary between two attacks (or more if you've Extra Attack or Thirsting Blade) and an attack (using the action Haste provides) and casting a spell. The only down side is it does take up your Concentration.
And to top it all off? You can go anywhere with it, MADness of some ideas asides, as long as you have 13 cha (since Haste doesn't rely on Cha all you may need it for is MC requirements).
So, what do you guys think?
