on my bladeforged sorc
I have a fundamental problem with WF/BF being the "go to" race for sorcerers, who are absolutely supposed to be the primal/instinctual/intuitive driven arcane casters. The archetype is the hot headed overly-emotional fire sorc that just can't stop getting mad and lighting things up.
Wizards absolutely fit; their archetype is the egg-head with emotions so stunted when one creeps into his head, he whips out a microscope to study it.
Personally, I think sorcs should get their elemental form earlier than druids and their spell list should "lean in" to that, replacing reconstructs with heal types that vary based on which elemental form they have (eg. fire hot, water on hit, air per cast, earth reconstruct'ish). Currently, no one sees a sorcerer in elemental form until epics.
BTW, I'm not knocking choosing BF/WF as sorcerer right now. The game is built to give that race choice a tremendous advantage over other races for sorcerer. If SSG wants Sorcerers to look and act more like D&D sorcerers, though, they need to rethink a few of the underlying rules a bit.
'Course, considering recent changes, I'd say it's much more likely SSG would try to achieve this by removing the repair line than by enticing away with equivalently nice things in the elemental forms. This would be bad. :(
