Crimson Longinus
Legend
Well, if what you think is that sorcerer needs better mecanics, maybe that is what you should argue for instead of calling for its removal or merger into other class (which is a removal, each class has its own fiction, lose the class, lose the fiction)
The combined class can still serve the warlock fiction... or at least part of it. But like I have explained, I don't think warlock fiction is coherent for a separate class. Some "warlocks" would be clerics, some wizards and some these new combined sorlocks.
