(Many would and probably will argue this, though) Going with the newest, the monk has interesting movement abilities like no class (striker or non-striker) has. It is their trick.The sorcerer's trick is pure damage, and being able to get through resistances. You can make a very viable fire-only or lightning-only sorcerer, while no other class can get away with that as easily. Even Demogorgon, with a massive 30 variable resistance, is likely to have little or no resistance to a sorcerer's attack, and would be well advised not to waste one of his few uses on whatever element the sorcerer is spamming.  But a sorcerer has little or no ability to hinder the enemy. While he is chipping away at the enemy's hit points, they are doing the same to him, especially as a sorcerer is very good with clsoe blasts. They can stand back for sure, but close blasts are the best way to get a lot of targets and multiply their str/dex extra damage.The power of the warlock has always been their non-damage effects. Kill an enemy and get a nice ability, be it temp hit points, a nice teleport, or whatnot.  And they can inflict conditions pretty strongly also. -x to hit, save ends conditions and such. In certain circumstances either could be stronger. WIth a lot of medium threats, perhaps the sorcerer would win out.But against a single baddie I would go for the warlock's abilities to hinder the opponent form doing their trick in return.</blockquote>
