You said you couldent play a half drow sorcerer because you felt it was weaker now, that combo is actually stronger now. .
That's your opinion. In my opinion, I would take an extra attribute point over polearms and armor that I don't want to use.
That might be your personal choice, and like I said that's fine, but mathematically your combo is stronger now so you shouldn't feel held back, play what you want. .
