The only thing I think it lacked was propper Prestige class support (wizards got many exclusive prestige classes, sorcerers needed more). I never felt the 4e sorcerer "felt" too much like a warlock, my only concern wit it was that 4e sorcerers where siloed into the blaster niche and that there wasn't enough suppport, only five bloodlines oppossed to the many pacts warlocks had. Wizards need to support Charming, Ilusionist, and utilty sorcerers as well, not just "I blast" and "I blast in melee" sorcerers I just hope the other origins they come up don't feel so gross, not all sorcerrer fans are into playing monstruous characters, and I hope they provide a more neutral origin that lends itself to be flavored as we wish. Sometimes I just want to play a sorcerer without making explicit where he got his powers, or justify his powers as any way I wish rather than conform to one of the few preselected flavors. I'm not against players that want more draconic characetrs, as long as it isn't at the cost of the design space of those who just like the sorcerer for what it is (or used to be): a charismatic, simple and flexible caster. Again I really hope wizards give us more subtle origins (including a "flavor neutral" one) instead of just making increasingly more mosntruous and disgusting ones.</blockquote>
